one of the golden rules of treasure hunters is not to tresspass on private property without permission. when you do, it makes us all look bad. if i couldnt get permission from the land owner i would do as the sign says and stay away. you can sometimes find the owner of a particular property by looking at the tax parcel records from your county. most counties have a website that you can get this info on. then, once you have the persons name you can write them a letter explaining what you want to do, and then, and only then, if you get permission should you continue this particular lead. there could be any number of reasons they want you to stay out, including illegal reasons (drug dealers). you definitly dont want to stumble across someone like that`s operation!if this lead doesnt pan out, dont worry, with some reaserch you can find ten more! good luck!

it isnt private proterty, its a vacant lot, nobody owns it,

Please don't take this the wrong way.....but you don't mention your age.....only that you are a " first time treasure hunter ". I believe jbot is giving you sound advice....based on his own experience, and common sense. I realize, as a new TH'er, this all seems pretty exciting and you want to just jump right in......but one thing you will learn from this site is that caution is the better part of valor. Exploding boxes....warnings to stay away....are not invitations to be reckless. They are a GREAT BIG SIGN that you should stop and consider what you are doing. I would suggest that you talk to an adult who is familiar with the area....someone you know and trust....and get a second opinion before you do something you may regret. Just remember....there is nothing exciting about being dead....

it didnt explode, the wind blew it open, it wasnt big, it was a box, it was on the SIDE of the trail, a bit deep into it

Trust me, somebody, somewhere owns the property. If it isn't a person, it will be the city, the county, the state or the federal government. There isn't a square inch of land anywhere in the U.S. that isn't owned by someone.

Is this the lake that lies within the state park,down the road from Appomattox?

 

[diggummup]

Or is it the manmade resevoir in Northern Virginia that is surrounded by new development?

I am not sure I understand what you want from us....you say you know the location...its possibly in the dock you were sitting on..there are a few scattered bones....someone wrote a notice to stay away on a cardboard box, "probally a kid" , a boat went by ,(not uncommon on a lake) you were there three times...what are you waiting forGet the loot and leave.....

Yo! Rebel here: I am originally from the Shenandoah Valley... and YES! there r LOTS of Treasure Caches from the Civil War up and down I-81, and the land, mountains... and even Shenandoah River (even a "legend" of a cannon with gold in "plugged" barrel buried along the river somewhere...). SO!
Check with Frederick County library, etc re Lake Holiday Treasure... NEVER heard of it personally... BUT! It just might be a new discovery... dunno; just the same... I agree with the other PROS... and STAY AWAY! IF it is on public property... probably owned by Frederick County, Va... AND! THEY WILL HAVE "GAME WARDENS" or "COPPERS" WATCHING YOU!!!

it was the same boat, EVERY time, not too many boats out this time of year. and, as far as we can see, no trweasure at the docks, but we need a meatal decetor to bwe shure, anyone know any good renting places in the area? or places to buty treasure hunting equipment, we might find some arow heads too but more inpoartantly... THE LOOT!!

oh nonononono, its not public, its owned by lake holiday, the only people that can get in to there are the people who live there, and their friends/relatives, but the people of lake holiday and their freinds and stuff can go there

 

[Gypsy Heart]

Ok I will play....whats the story and the loot? Have you done any additional research on this?.....it could have been found already....whats in the area now?...I know that there are housing developements going up all around Lake Holliday....are you just going on rumors? Or is there some actual fact to any of this? Research will pay in the long run and save you tons of time ....I am pretty sure that after a hundred years +, since the civil war...a dock would not still be left from that era. I live on a lake....When I see unfamiliar people on a dock or property, that I know dont belong there, I zero right in on them....same thing if someone comes into my bay and gets near my dock or boats....we land owners are a funny like that ...very protective. Do a google search for detector rentals in your area.......Good Luck
