Detecting Franklin Co./Frankfort

[1320]

Has anyone detected along Elkhorn Creek or Peaks Mill areas? Any other areas in Franklin County that I should take a look at?

It would help if we knew what you are searching for. Are you looking for old coins or CW-Relics?

Maybe you can find some of my fishing lures along Elkhorn Creek.

I don't know where Peaks Mill is though. Sorry.

Burt, you should know where thats at! Should be some CW stuff around it.

Hey rider, are your lures made of wood?! Ah, you're not that old!

Thanks Alpha

Only the hooks are wood. The lures are airbrushed greenbeans. Real lively.

never detected it, but have fished it a few times...

So I just went up that way and spent two days - and got nothing but skunked.

There was a MASSIVE flood there about 10 yrs ago and it wiped the place clean.

So sad....

Floods give and take away! Should be some new relics left behind! Usually of the aluminum variety

I have detected around Elkhorn Creek in Scott County by Great Crossings Park and found my first silver. Mercury Dime. I also found lots of sinkers, bottle caps and pulltabs and some rifle lead. Not much luck but I do go out there every once in a while since they had that Indian School there back in the day. Hoping to find something interesting there and the dam that was built there was built in 1941 I think. From what I read is that was the shallowest area of Elkhorn and many people and buffalo crossed there.
