Dang, you should hit the Tritt property on 120 in East Cobb. Been there in the same family since 1850. Old lady Tritt lives there . Maybe write her a letter or something. Nothing but woods . Next to East Cobb park. Use Google maps.

I'm a metal detecting junky as well. Looks like you are pretty close. Maybe we can do some digging sometime here soon.

Most diggers won't share their honey hole.
Every good spot I ever knew is now paved, posted or the owner has a shotgun
I've been at it for more than 30 years and I have a truck load of relics to sell.

Totally unrelated but im curious about the hobby and have come close to buying a cheap detector a couple of times but since i know nothing about them I figured id probably not find anything with those so my question is what would be an acceptable starter rig for someone like me that has a little land and is curious about if there is any hidden history in the ground?

Good luck OP! Please post any finds.

My wife gave me a $150 Bounty Hunter that I used for years. You can get pretty good with digging clad, copper and all iron with it. Did find one gold ring and a silver dime or two.

OP - post up some pics of your collection!

In for pics of cool finds. Sounds like a cool new thread idea actually. Sorry to derail.
