Rough diggin

[smokey63]

Talking about some rough terrain for diggin relics. Anybody else hunt areas like this?

I hunt areas like this, on occassion. Usually when they are next to a productive field. Yeah, it's tough hunting, but with the rocky conditions, all the relics are shallow. Signals are loud and unmistakeable. I love digging relics, and if that's where they are, then I'm up for it.

Yeah that sure looks rough alright! I hunt a spot like that working uphill, that way I get a bigger swing, and its not so far to fall!
Good Luck and Happy New Year!

You got that right. Some of the areas I have to hold onto trees to keep from sliding back down.Those rocks make for alot of diggin since bullets have hit them and shattered.

Be sure and check around the big rocks and boulders. Sometimes just a resting place or cover from incoming fire I have found some good stuff around those big rocks. Snakes also like them in warm weather. Hunt where most don't and you will do well. Great choice. HH

Looks like tough hunting alright,but like the others stated... probably due to the rough terrain, there are some goodies to be had there.. show us your finds from this site.
Good luck!!

That looks like 90% of my hunting spots but with some briars and honeysuckle vines thrown in to break my fall

ngrelic, you have probably been on this mountain yourself at some point, so you know exactly what I'm talking about!

CCH, since you mentioned a dozer, we had a wildfire on the mountain a while back and we had 6 dozers up there putting in firebreaks, 2 blades wide. Turned up alot of fresh relics in the firebreaks. I am going to add to the list an e) a new detector to reach down in between the crevaces in the rocks, cause I aint going there....lol

Happy New Year and HH

Here are a few of the recent finds, and a photo from the top of the (hill)...lol Thats about a 300 foot drop to the bottom!

Dont know whats in the big rock other than quartz, but made the detector sing?

Yep, been on that "hill" a bunch. Plenty of Confederate camps in that valley also. Nice pics.
