This treasure was hidden by mother nature. Back in the late 1980's I had the good fortune and pleasure to work with Larry Otwell. Larry was a retired geologist for the state of Georgia. I read several of his books and called him on the phone with some questions. He invited me up to his home in...

Hey y'all, I am new to the Savannah, Pooler, Bloomingdale, GA area. Spent most of my detecting days in northern VA finding Civil War relics and wanted to know how the relic detecting is down south. I used a White's Prizm II for years and just recently made the switch to a Garrett AT Pro and I...

I’m relatively new to metal detecting and am looking for a buddy and/or mentor to go on hunts with. I live in Alpharetta but will happily travel to meet up.

Looking for anyone who has hunted Civil War locations in the 70’s, 80’ & 90’s in Dekalb county, Georgia that might wish to share locations and help me out. I am looking for Civil War camp sites, river or stream crossing or skirmishes that happened in Dekalb county in Metro Atlanta, Georgia. Or...

I watch Brad's metal detecting videos in the Green Mtns of VT. He finds lots of cellar holes and targets from late 1700's and 1800's. Has anyone hunted in the mountains along the Appalachian Trail in North Georgia or North Carolina and found cellar holes like Brad seems to find so easily? If...

Hi Folks- I've been hunting off and on for about 30 years. I first started with the Radio Shack's series when I was a teenager in the 80's with the joy of finding my first wheat cents and a Buffalo nickel at my mom's school in Ohio! I first became a coin collector because of my buddy and my job...

Football. A while back I made this post about my wife's comments on my metal detecting. https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=267280 So my conclusion was that she should not be involved in metal detecting in any manner, shape or form. Well now I must add college football to that...

I live in north Atlanta. There have been some rumors in history from the Indians that the Spanish explorers came up from the Gulf of Mexico along the Chattahoochee river to find north Georgia gold. Again there is little historical fact to support this. this brings me to the question has any of...

is there anyone finding old coins or relics from the 1800's in gwinnett, fulton or cobb county? I have been hunting in gwinnett county for a year now and not finding these older coins like many detectorists do up north. I know there are areas along the east side of the Chattahoochee river that...

Hey! Very new to the hobby, but have already fallen in love with it. I've never been so excited to find a quarter in my life. I live in Acworth, GA. Would love to find some cool hunting spots. All the best. Mr. Breeze.

I joined this site about a year ago and I can't seem to find any of my posts so I don't know if I introduce myself, so allow myself to introduce myself, again, for myself... well, you know.... So, a Georgia boy in Acworth, not new to the sport, as in I used to go with my dad a lot when we would...

Hey everyone, Just got started with the hobby and have caught the bug already. I've only been out a few times due to the weather, but as it warms up I'll definitely be out a lot more and it would be great to find other metal detectorists in the area to hunt with and possibly form a club/group...

Im not really new to detecting. I mainly hit up my grandpa's house in Elberton Ga. He has a homestead from the 1750's. I am looking to get with someone who knows some good spots in the area and pretty adept at using a MD. I have a Ace 250 and a Fisher 1266x. I am still new at both. Been...
