Eastern Virginia Dirt?

Tom
Do you know if the dirt in Bristol VA is high in minerals?It's on the border of TN. north of Johnson city.Thanks. Bill

This would be a good question for others. I believe it's fairly high mineralization dirt.

Tom I meant western Virginia.Once I get east of the Mississippi River I get turned around.Bill

over around appamattox the dirts fairly hot, mostly on the high spots. some places its REAL bad, but most are what I would call "fairly hot". I hunt the red stuff around Culpeper too.....and thats the hottest stuff I'VE ever hunted. Pulses rule there. VLF's suffer greatly, and that includes Minelabs.
I'd say where you are going, there WILL be hot spots, but woods and lowlands arent nearly as bad, and you can hunt with a VLF machine there with moderate sucess. You will do better in AM at sites like that....so you might want to keep that in mind............... Streak!

Concur. Western VA is quite a bit higher in 'bad' mineral content.
