Well I recently gained permission for a yard in an unincorporated town, that MAY have a cache or two!!
Story Time:
A work friend I was speaking with at work said in 1985 her and her husband bought their house from a deceased mans kids. While the kids were removing his belongings they shared with my friend that they found hoards of jars and cans with silver coins and currency all over the house. She was hopeful that maybe he had buried some in the yard, so her husband went and bought a cheap metal detector to do some searching. Well we know how that went....they came up empty handed, probably due to the fact that they thought they could just unbox it and immediately find treasures. They gave up pretty quickly! Well fast forward 36 years to our conversation, I showed her and her husband all over the awesome silver and old copper coins and relics I have found and we struck a deal they are going to allow me to hunt their home property in hopes we can find the (possible) hidden hoards of treasure!!! They also own an old lot where the original one room church house sits. And a rental house that dates to late 1800s, the only stipulation that has been brought up is that we split any major finds that could make us rich I will be planning this trip soon and hope to have great pictures to share sometime later this month.
PS: if anyone has any tips id love to hear em because im new to cache hunting, i have read a ton of the threads in here gaining information.
I will be using an Equinox 600 but also have a CTX 3030 (i just got and have no idea how to run it. BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING I did buy Andys book and am currently trying to get my masters degree in "Minelab CTX 3030"
Anyways sorry for the long post Thanks
Edit: I had my dates wrong with her story I misunderstood her. she also reveled to me that he was old enough to be raised during the Great depression.!!
