I just relocated to Nelson County Va and would love to find a diggin partner myself. Sorry to say I know zip about the area or where to go so will be no help at all. I’ve been relic hunting in NC for the past 5 years using a Garrett AT Pro. Hope you have better luck than I in finding someone that can help you. If I finally do make a connection with any group or club I’ll make it a point to include you in the loop.
