western north carolina

I'm doing research at home to hopefully put me on a good start, does anyone know of any prospecting groups that meet up around western N.C. or other ways I can get access to a location? THANK YOU.

Hey guys im looking for some people on here from Western North Carolina to detect with primarily in the Waynesville, Canton, Asheville areas maybe a little further out. I know a few good spots and old house places. If you ever want to head to Waynesville I need a teacher as im just getting back...
