I'm leaving for Tennessee on Friday...

And will be staying in Ooltewah Tennesse on a house boat on Harrison bay just below look out mountain I do believe. Will have my detector with me and if anyone has someplace for me to hunt let me know. I know you can't hunt the parks at Harrison Bay State Park.
 
... if someone else dosen't hook you up with a site, you might check out some of the shoreline. Is that lake man made from TVA? If so check out where streams are running into the lake ... may have been someone there dropping something before the lake was built.

Don't know about water temps, but if you have or can borrow a water detector, those lake beaches have lots of drops worth looking for.

Boat ramps, if the water level is down, can be productive too. Good luck and have fun.
 
And Harrison Bay is a man made lake that the TVA flooded many years back. I know the reason they don't let detecting happen there is because of all the cannon balls people were digging up and leaving huge holes. I've heard that Harrison Bay was a battle field during the Civil war but I don't know how much truth is to this. But there are a lot of islands I could hop on a jet ski and maybe hunt those...
 
Metal Detecting
Guidelines for the use of metal detectors on TVA lands

Metal detecting as a recreational activity is allowed on certain TVA fee-owned lands. Metal detectors may not be used on any prehistoric or historic archaeological site or at any human burial location. These sites and their contents are protected by both state and federal laws. (Read about archaeological sites on TVA lands on our Cultural Resources page.)

Metal detectors may be used on TVA property in the following locations:

Within formal swimming areas
Within the designated boundaries of TVA campgrounds (campsite must be unoccupied)
Immediately adjacent to public launching ramps (within 100 feet)
Parking areas associated with any of the above.
Anyone wishing to use a metal detector must complete the Application for Metal Detecting Permit (PDF, 107 kb, requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) and receive a permit before the detector can be used on TVA lands. The application form includes a summary of guidelines and procedures and the address for mailing the application.
