The Memphis Metal Detecting Club has new leadership and we're looking for new recruits and new ideas. Glad you brought this up. I'll pass it along to the other hunters in the club. We're renewing our Buddy Hunting program and are planning to go out on club hunts at least once a month this year for the members and publishing more information and photos of the member's finds. Keep an eye on memphistreasure dot com in the future for news and pictures. The club has withered over the past few years but the new leadership and existing members want to build up the club again.Layn Huffman - VP MMDC
thetreasuredepot.com has at least 3 hunts a year. you sign up and they draw out names to go. costs $200 for the hunt and your expenses. at least a 3 day hunt each time.
I live in Byrdstown, Tn. and would be glad to pay for a civil war hunt or just get together with a group and hunt Thanks Fry. asg_sr

Well for 2 days now me and T-H buddy have been hitting hard we did manage to find some good stuff 5 confederate flat buttons 6 mini pistol balls and a nice piece of cannon ball. And lots of square nails i used my new whites but i dont like it.It may be good for coin hunting. So i had to breakout the trusty TESORO CIBOLA and as all ways it works great. I did receive the new T-4000 but it was missing the upper shaft so i did not get to use it today. And we went and scouted out the creek with the treasure the young man told me about we will have to do some more investigating on that one.
Thank you for sharing that info.
i used to go to the one out of memphis, it was a good hunt held in missisippi at sardis lake. the one i'm talking about may be held by the same club but all the buried targets were relics and civil era coins. the info was posted last year either on thetreasuredepot.com or findmall.com. you could do a search there for old posts. hope this helps.
i checked but there in memphis and there having trouble with recruits and dues being paid.
Thanks! I will look in to it.
there is a planted civil war hunt in the fall. it may be around shiloh. look for some of the lost treasure listing for hunts last year. i believe its a yearly event.
I recently ran into a young fellow and we got to talking about metal detecting and he said something to me that really got my attention. He said he found in a creek a sword with a gold hilt and coins from the 1800s. And the only thing in my area that was lost would be the union payroll that was buried and lost before the battle of parkers cross roads. So im going to do a little digging and get him to take me where he found this stuff.
Ok Its time to get one started here in tennessee. DIV is there anybody interested in putting on a event..
Ive watched all of the div videos and they look like they have lots of fun.I like CC Digger he seems to know where to hunt and he knows the DIV people to get one together.Me and my hunt buddy go around the parkerscross roads area and still find stuff left over from the civil war. there was a small skirmish that i have been trying to locate in my area with no luck so far but it goes with the battle of lexington,tenn. With Col.Ingersoll and General forrest. I have it narrowed down to a mile radius but most of the dirt back then is under 4 feet of sand and river debree. But im not giving up.
Good luck on that. I live in south central tenn. and have wondered the same thing. Almost have to be a member of a club to get in on the information. I know my little club out of lynchburg does not do much except get together and eat.Would love to go to a good outing and do some hunting.
Hi -Mysel and my 12 yr-old would be interested in joining the MMDC. We are both newbies and have done a little bit of hunting around Collierville. Please let me know more if there is more information. Thanks!
