The Tennessee river holds many artifacts but you really need a boat. On Cw hunting study the area around bridges that were active during the CW. Pm as you get closer to coming and will see what I can think of for you. We are not selfish and enjoy sharing our past.

Just a little heads up. Be careful about diving the River around Chattanooga as TVA claims juridiction and will definitely arrest you.

I have yet to run into TVA. Twra yes. My cousin dove below hunter musuem and floated up a large marble urn with air bags. He also said the bottom is covered with sawed off limbs from the civil war hospital above on the bluffs. He did get in trouble when he found the sunken paddle wheeler and pulled all the brass, well warned and now its a historical site. Lots of bullets downtown around Coolidge park. You are right though all of Chattanooga is now a park. I hunt all private land in Chattanooga. Below the walking bridge in the river is thousands of guns.There are pictures of them throwing them off the bridge at one time and the air was black with them. I think they hung people off that bridge as well. I love the history here.
We dug the first coca cola bottling plant dump in the river near the,,,, and got all the rejects : )
You must live here as well. Cool

I think if you call Hickory Valley Elec co.(they sell metal detectors,tesoro) they have some clubs here. I have never been but heard they were pretty active. Chattanooga is loaded with CW stuff. Its all in peoples yards and all battle finds unless you find a camp. Hope this helps you some. All our parks are battlefields unless you go to the one across from the aquarium. Its only about ten years old but.... its full of cw bullets. I hunted it before it became a park.
Welcome to T-net and Chattanooga
