Can't detect so will post some old pics...

[Uncle Willy]

A cache of silver I found years ago buried under the former site of an old shed. Second pic is a pewter bank dug up in an old abandoned park. Was about a foot down.

Sweet finds. I have yet to find a cache. Must be a thrill. Were you digging all signals? Or was it just a good deep tone?

I was hunting a freeway right of way where all homes and businesses had been demolished or removed and was hunting all the old sites for whatever I could find. This cache was buried in an old paint can and the coins were wrapped in oil cloth ( precursor to plastic ) and it was about a foot down.

I figured it had been buried back during the Great Depression when people didn't trust banks anymore ( banks created the depression for their own gain ) and it was forgotten or the person died and left no clue to it. That was quite a little nest egg during the Depression.

Did it read as junk because of the paint can?

 

[Uncle Willy]

Don't remember as this was some years ago and I was using a meterless detector. But on today's machines it would probably have read in the junk range or read the max on imaging - but I would have dug it anyway. If you rely soley on your display to tell you what's in the ground you could be leaving one of these behind.

I just got lucky. I'm still looking for the next one.
