Looking for someone near Smith Mt. lake Va. (with a boat) to help check out 2 sites

[RTR]

Need someone with a 18 to 20 foot bow-rider or bass boat .To help me investigate two locations on S.M.L. This will probably take most of one day.
1st site, is a stream that feeds into S.M.L. that looks promising for gold..... Plan on Taking samples for panning.
2nd site,is the remains of a old field stone structure.Guessing civil war era.... Plan on Metal detecting this site.
If anyone is interested let me know.Planning on doing this sometime this spring.Thanks Roger

DOES look interesting...

Looks like it may be worth some hunting time and swing a detector. Never know what might turn up there.

Franklin County, Va. side going towards Roanoke, Va. MAY be in the "GOLD belt"...
