Check out/cut and paste this link for abandoned air fields.
Looks like there are quite a few in Kentucky.

There was the battle of Munfordville in Hart county. If just coinshooting you might try the places around lake Nolin where they swim and picnic. Munfordville itself is old and a lot of history. You are in a high tourist area so there should be lots of places. If you happen to know the guy that is the "Little Debbie" distributor that lives in Munfordville he does or did detect 10 years ago. He has a lot of CW stuff from the battlefield there. I can't remember his name as it has been 10 years since I lived there. There should also be some places on the Green river. You can find arrowheads on the river too. There are lots of tourist attractions that have been there a long time if you can get permission to detect them. Mammoth Cave has been drawing tourists since the 1800's and they had to stay somewhere even tho Mammoth cave is off limits being a federal park. I wish I had been detecting when I lived there. I would have loved to detect the wigwam motel in Horse Cave or is it Cave City. The motel with the concrete wigwams. Bet there is silver there. The is also Barren Lake and more lakes around there. When they let the water down you can sometimes see where house foundations were before they flooded they area. Good places to get fishing tackle too lol. I found a couple of rods that way.

Look around and use your imagination to see where people gathered back then. Ask the oldtimers to relate old stories and history of the place. There are old churches too. Anyplace people have been there is something to detect. The older the better.

I live in bonnieville, and have enjoyed learning about Hart Co's rich cw history for a few years now. whether you are after old coins or relics the 60,000 or so troops from both sides that spent time here dropped a lot of both. Send me a pm we might plan a hunt or meet at McDonald's for a cup of coffee and talk detecting. I also use whites detectors. Joe.

I'm in Newport, Campbell County. I'm headed to my first detector club meeting at Boone County High School Monday 1/25 at 7:00 PM.
If you're in this area, I'm sure you'd be welcome too. The guy who runs it is named Randy.

hey buddy! i used to live in western ky. for a couple of years [won't do that again] and would sometimes find good spots to go to. the older the area, the better your chances of finding the good stuff. my ability to do research was limited, so i ended up just putting my coil to the ground at likely looking spots, and did ok. there's a lot of history in ky.

Every time I go through Kentucky I've always thought of those places on the older two lane roads in the mountains where people would pull off for views and the small trails that are at almost every pull-off.
