Metro Atlanta and points west and north have quite a few large civil war battle sites. Only one major problem. All are either on private property owners who are reluctant to give permissions to detectorists and governments, city, county, state or federal have snapped up all the good properties and will not let you bring a metal detector even on the property.
Recent case in point. About 200 acres in west georgia of a major CW battle. The city bought up the land recently to sometime in the future build a park. But the no relic hunting signs went up a few weeks after the property closed. UGH!
So now we are reduced to finding an acre here and asking permissions or an acre there that is so remote and the owner is out of state that you can accidently stray on the property without any real worries.
So for us johnny come lately CW relic hunters we just have to !!!!! and do our best. The culprit is large and fast growth of the metro Atlanta area. It seems like all the companies and people are moving south from the north.
Ok, through complaining for a while. Will get back to some of the few CW permissions that I have found in the past 2 years. And boy do I keep their locations top secret.
