old cashe site work:twodetecting:

[Dirtyray]

well hello again hows everyone i hope all fine im looking for anyone thats good at finding cash sites id like a little help on finding some info thanks dirtyray....dig it ALL

 

[okdirtfisher]

bull-head what is it your wanting to know concerning info?
general locations per-say of past recovery's?
stories,legends,?
I hunted with you a couple of hours on your place and from the dug-outs and hearing you talk of your family history I would follow the relic trail I don't figure you could exhaust it to soon.

 

[Dirtyray]

the relics are nice but i see many old houses that just look like they have a story too tell how do you know if this house or that house may even have a small cashe on it what about cellars anyone ever find any money in one .......

 

[okdirtfisher]

I've read stories that spoke of what was termed (post-hole)banks,I've presumed these to be in corner sections of the fence line.
cellars in my thinking would produce finds in the walls rather than the floor.
I know of a cache that was buried by my uncle nearly 40 years ago,he took a gallon jar of coins he had been saving and headed out the door, my thinking was he's fixing to do some spending and I want to be there.To my surprise he headed towards the apple orchard I hung just close enough to watch (He thought he was alone)he looked back towards the house as if to get a barring then buried the jar.
Approx. 5 years ago I pulled up to the old home place to see him looking across the fields in the area of what once was the apple orchard (now a steel yard) I asked of him if he had ever recovered his treasure,you should of seen the look on his faceHe turned and replied he had not.
The old apple orchard is long gone as well as any chance to recover the treasure.

why would it be in the walls insted of where it was easy too dig in the dirt floor ?

 

[okdirtfisher]

maybe because its least suspected?
back corner furthest away from entrance,eye level from a kneeling position?
just speculative fun at this point,maybe I should have passed on replying after all you was searching for info from those who have made such recovery.

I was listening to a radio program here this morning. The topic of discussion was yesterday's rating debacle. The one fellow stated, "If this gets any worse I'll have to start burying my money in the backyard".

I thought about how many thousands of these small "banks" are still sitting in the Earth idle.

sure makes ya think

One reason the old folks didn't cache treasure in cellar floors was because of water seepage. Most long hard rains resulted in water of various amounts seeping into, and standing in, their cellars until it would either slowly seep back out or be physically bailed out. I live in an 1870's house with a sandstone wall, brick floored cellar and have had water down there many times. Hate to think what I'd do without a sump pump. Once had water waist deep after a 12 hr. rain. Of course I've not found any treasure down there....in the wall or the floor....and I even carried 355 five gallon buckets of dirt and clinkers out of there over the course of a year to expose the brick floor. Found a few relics but no coinage.
