New guy excited as heck to get started
My name is Chris, I live in Lookout Valley, TN (AKA Tiftonia) I am about a mile from the foot of Lookout MTN, As some of you Civil war buffs know, that was a great battle here in my own back yard. What I need to know is what do I need to buy...Gosh so many models to choose from, and I have Zero, zip, nadda knowledge of this type of challenge.
I kinda know the basics like 1) ask Permission, 2) Leave Nature as you find it, 3) Collect and dispose of all found trash 4) Be kind to your fellow man on here. But I need to know everything, I have my own home to check out, used to be covered by a small pond long ago.....and have access to one of the oldest homes here 110 years I think, so the finds could be great. Any help would be fantastic.

Hey chris welcome to the site! Glad you are on! You are for sure in a history rich area to hunt. I am guessing you are wanting to relic hunt first with coinshooting as a go to? What is your budget, do you want or need a visual ID?
IMO I would call one of our sponsors. Chat for a while and see what they recomend, good luck to you, Beale.
