Well, after a death defying trip up to St. Augustine from Tampa in the rain, I looked forward to hunting the yard of my father-in-law. In between cloudbursts, I hunted the yard occasionally checking that my MD was turned on and had fresh batteries. I got all of 4 hits over the whole acre! 2 were bullets (modern) 1 was a piece of foil, and 1 was a curious box found at 14". I discovered there is a layer of grass at 12" and found out that they dug a fish pond and spread the dirt over the whole yard to a depth of 12"! The box I opened excitedly thinking I had found a cache at last! The box was filled with brightly colored feathers and the delicate bones of a long passed parakeet! I promptly reburied the box! Today as we were leaving, my Father-in-law says "You know where you should have hunted...." and proceeded to tell me about a brick road back in the woods that leads nowhere, it is so old it has trees 2 feet across growing out of it! It begins and ends way back in the woods and starts and stops off and on through the woods! I Know where I will be hunting this summer! HH omnicognic 8)
