I had a family member that told me a story this weekend. An old man lived on a neighboring farm between family land back in the 1800's. His house was positioned right within the woods at the foot of the mountain. They called this area "Silver Holler".
Apparently this man bought and sold cattle and only dealt in silver. He never had a bank account and was known to bury stuff around the house. Unexpectedly he passed away due to a heart attack. Due to the sudden heart attack, he never had a chance to tell his family where he had his money.
His grandson (now in his 60's) told my cousin that when his grandfather passed away he and his father tore the house apart (walls out and everything) trying to find his grandfathers silver. They never found it.
The house is gone now, but you can tell where it used to be. We are wanting to try to explore and see if our detectors will pick something up. I'm assuming he would bury something in mason jars or coffee cans. I have a Fisher F4 and I was just looking for any advice since I am very new to this hobby. To date I've found about $30 in clad, a silver ring, and 1 rosie. What do y'all think about this possible exploration? Thanks!
