Eddie,

I have to admit that I do believe that some people can dowse for treasure.
A friend of mine has done it more than once.

One morning I saw a city worker dowsing a water main, and by golly he did it.
Yep, some can dowse and some can't.
I'm one of those that can't.

I was working a job in Colorado where they were trying to locate a valve & tee. After three locators & one company owner/trainer tried & tried one of the superintendants drove up to the construction shack and came back with a couple of Lrods bent out of coathangers. He located the tee a few feet away from where it was supposed to be. Was kinda cool seeing the looks on the faces of the locators & the potholing crew when they hit it within an inch or two after the locators spent the better part of the morning with negative results. Not to mention all the expensive equipment.

Detectit,
Find a backhoe operator & see how far a suitcase of Budweiser or fifth of good scotch will get you. Sometimes Bud will go further than green especially on a hot day. You might be able to set it up on his way back from a paying job in the area.

Detectit,
What are you waiting for man, go get a shovel. Small backhoes can't be that scarce, I'll bet you know someone with a small John Deer or such. We are dying to know! Although I can appreciate your concern for the investment to find an old car hood.

Good Luck
Jeff

You can dig that deep in 2 or 3 days... Faster if you dig 4 to 5 feet down and then dig the rest with a post hole Digger or Gas powered post hole auger...

In cache hunting you must dig almost any signal of your detector, by sure you must have a history about the treasure, but if you only have the signal a real and persistent signal. go ahead, dig and dig.

HI: From what you have said, it is fairy sure that it is deep. Suggestion, first check the area, say 20 ft to 'all' sides to see if there is any other reactions, if so I would be leery. No other reaction, get ready to reduce your waist line.

If it were me in your situation, I'd put on the gloves, grab my shovel, and get digging. And I'd bring a piece of plywood to cover the hole between digging sessions, just cover it with a thin layer of dirt when you leave.. Both to prevent others from falling in it, and to prevent people from discovering your hole and recovering your treasure before you do. Good luck, and I hope it's something good. If not, you got some good exercise.

I have a strange feeling when you dig down to this enormous 10x10x10 metal object, your shovel will poke through the rusty metal and 50 year old human waste will come pouring out. Ick...what makes you think it may be a treasure?

If you're close enougbh to where I am, I'll bring my CX Plus w/ the two box attachment. If I get the same reading you do, we'll both dig! Split anything down the middle and not tell anyone else! But remember that a good two box will pick up a change in the mineralization of the soil. Perhaps a back filled cistern?

This sounds to me that someone has hidden a storeage container under the ground for maybe WWIII,or maybe a storm shelter,or maybe someone is hidding guns,etc,lets remember that famous seen from The Terminator 2 when the Terminator pulls that chain and that metal container appears from under the ground filled with guns. Please let us know what you find.
