Grandpa's Cash Box!
Hi Guys: Thought I would share this Story,although I was unsuccessful in finding anything. I am kindof Stumped on where else to look.
My Sister brought one of her friends to the house one day, She/Sandy ask me If I could find a Metal box which was buried in the ground about a foot deep,,, I told her If she could show me the general area of where it was ,that, maybe I could locate it,, as it turned out,, Sandy's grandfather had passed on,but, He had told her that he had his personal savings hid behind the house in a Metal box,buried, straight up on top of the hill from the back door.,,, I agreed to try & locate the box ,,so away we went ..
We arrived at the location,way out in the Country,,,Sandy told me to go behind the house, line up with the back door,look straight up the hill,,,there was a pathway from the back door which ran up a very steep hill,,Sandy said the box was right at the top of the hill,,on the right hand side of the path,, I got my 6000 di Out set it for all metal, up the path I went,Sandy Followed,,,,I topped the hill,checked my settings,, started searching,, I found several shot gun shells rather quick ,a couple of tin cans,, a few pieces of Metal,, but I did not locate the Cash box, I looked for quite awhile ,, I feel that I searched close enough to locate anything within range depthwise anyways,,Sandy was rather disapointed, I was to,, ,but there was nothing else I could do but to give up after searching everywhere that I thought might hold the box. Sandy Swore that this Cash Box has to be there,& that her Grandpa wanted her to have it , She said her Grandpa had told no one else about it , She even knew what was in the box which wasn't a fortune ,but, a pretty large sum of cash in Old Coins etc. I am almost sure my 6000di would reach this box at 12" deep with the standard Coil, But did not locate it,, I was very disapointed for her, She was Upset ,but we gave up the search & left,,,I did not see any fresh dug holes or anything that would show that someone had already dug this box up,,,,,I have never been back there,,,, The House is gone now,,,, Sandy's Grandmother also passed on,, Sandy still Says that this Box is on top of that hill & she is sure of it.. I am wondering if maybe I should go back & give it another try, She was right there beside me that day when i was searching,it was distracting to search with someone watching over me,I think I covered everywhere But,,, I have to wonder ,,Did I miss that Cash Box?? I would like to find it & Be able to hand it to her. It would make her day & mine too!
I am almost certain that my 6000Di 3 will reach 12" on a Metal box full of coins,,,,Any Input on this guys?
