2001 My first big cache

[Dancer]

2001 I'd only been detecting abt 6 mons, with a Garrett 1000. A pal from work just bought a small farm and said I outta hunt this old dwelling on it. So once I got there, [you know the ole routine] started in the front yard. Found a few Wheaties, wire, beer cans, couple pieces of clad. Went around to the back. Well there was a faint trail running from the house to a toppled over ----house. Got to admit there were some targets along that trail. I guess people tend to get in a hurry going that way sometimes. It was under a apple tree that I got a real good signal. So I dug down about 6" and come up with a small wooden chest. Near rotten it was, but something inside sure sounded sweet. I carefully pry ed it open [I was pretty exited] and there was something wrapped in a piece of muslin. I checked it and oh yeah it sounded good. I tore open the bag, and out rolled Cat Bones, with a big Silver name tag-- Fluffy I dug up FLUFFY!! Well I'm feeling the bottom of the rolly coaster now and started to look around to see if anybody seen me. Nobody around, I put the bones,tag, rag all back in the tomb, and tamped Ole Fluffy back down.

You did the right thing. Fluffy may be gone but will be remembered for many years to come.

I did the same thing, it was a mason jar and the family parakeet was in it, it was deep too, about 18 inches down, but a few years earlier, I dug a fluff marshmallow jar with 1500 dollars in it, so they are there
