Well i know this is a total longshot, but If I dont have a chance of luck here for help with fellow detectorists then where do I! So myself and a long-time buddy (but fairly new to the hobby) have been at it all through end of summer and still at it daily even if for just an hr or two today. We came up with this brilliant idea to head down south for a full weekend due to our dreams of recovering some civil war relics. (up for any type of 1800 hunting really) Not for money by any stretch, were just guys who love connecting the history telling our families the stories from research to discoveries etc and just holding that piece of history in our hands, the thrill is amazing. Anyway we are just north-side Indianapolis and planning to head the direction of Louisville through mid-KY into TN toward Murfreesboro maybe further a bit...not fully sure yet. Were used to doing all the research on a potential site from ariel maps to plot maps to beer maps...to see if we can get a hunch its worthwhile, then talk with land owners for permission. So for this trip were trying to scope by satellite, "try" to then determine land owners ahead of time and plan to just do some good old fashion knocking on the door once we are there. So anyway we'll have from Fri to Sun for this "dream trip" lol. Its targeted leaving way early AM (I mean early!) dec 6th...honestly with not too much officially lined up if right now....if we could officially arrange something that was promising and could fill a weekend or at least a good day of it...we are more than flexible and would even head as far as to the coast somewhere lol! I know people wont just give away tried and true spots. I guess I just hoped for a remote chance we could connect with someone just via PM because of this post to make this trip a home run. I have references and plenty of sites with permission that would vouch for their experience with me on their land. I have proof of national insurance covering me and my actions while hunting, etc etc. No problems following any rules/stipulations. We are just 2 good ole clean cut guys in our mid-30's totally into this awesome hobby and looking SO forward to this weekend just dedicated to it.... man we can hardly wait. Just thought to reach out to the general community to help us hone in our research by lining something guaranteed up with some already with permission to an area or better yet the land owner themselves! Trying to just spend less time knocking and more time hunting. I appreciate the time to read the post and of course any help anyone is willing to give. Again just PM me and we could go from there!
