Metal Detecting for Civil War Gold in Tennessee

[@sheltdog8463]

Just because it's a radio shack cheap-o doesn't mean that dog won't hunt! My sister bought me a cheap metal detector for my B-day several years ago,bounty hunter gold I believe. So couple yrs later I dropped $800. On a Garrett pro, let me tell ya, that cheap would go toe to toe with the Garrett!!! And Wade my neighbors think I'm crazy too, I walk around my backyard with my head down with my poking stick looking for arrowheads! I have a ton of flint and churt rock in my yard and have found a couple of points and either a game piece or jewelry piece i can't tell, what they probably don't know is that their was a Indian village not very far from my house. Good Luck!

Not all Southerners or Tennesseans are Rednecks or Ignorant, although the accent and dialects certainly give the impression we are. Voice and Diction Classes are recommended, they helped mine a great deal. No one would have known I was born in Chicago, or "a Yankee sympathizer" lol. My favorite accent is Boston and New Orleans (they go to baars, drive caars, and generally do all things with a most interesting accent, i.e., "the Kennedy's" - love their Boston accent. Go Red Sox! GO CUBS - GO !!!!!!!!! 😘

Your logging hook (Second from the end) thing is actually half of a 19th century oxen shoe.

[@duckscustomgarage9239]

[@wickedmajestic8100]

You’ll never find it it was in a cave that’s blasted now and the gold is long gone been found
