The knee replacement was booger but I'm getting used to it. Not much pain now after a few months but I forget it's heavier and don't bend as well yet so I trip on vines and sticks in the woods that I never had trouble with before. Other wise no pain is great! thank for asking.

I have hit a hot spot and going back to dig more now!!! weird though it's showing up everything on 2 diff. detectors. Last time that happened I hit a bucket of old nails with some coins inside.

The reason for people to bury treasure is for others not to find it. The person(s) hiding something already know where it is at. No reason to leave signs or clues otherwise they would have left it on top of the ground.

If you want to find it, think of where YOU would hide it. Has to be within visual range from the house.

unless they were in unfamiliar territory, and sometimes even when they weren't. Wooded areas can fool even experienced woodsmen. With the KGC, however, it has to do with a universal code, a way for any member to find what has been cached.

Not just visual range from the house ...
but visual from a comfortable place inside the house, like a bedroom or kitchen window.
or a livingroom window as looked at from an easy chair.
Folks liked the idea that it was out there and they could watch it.

Well, are you still there? No more posts since the above? Wondering what you found. At lease show us the iron pot!

Sorry, our youngest graduated high school last week, then she had a debutante ball.......oh well..... We are back on the search this weekend, starting tomorrow. I have a hot spot that I am looking at but the ground is so hard, many rocks in the ground and even tree roots. It's a hard dig. I'll send a post as soon as i find anything.

Here is a bent tree photo it is pointing to the tree with a rock embedded in the middle. The rock with the X is behind this bent tree. Snakes in this area! You can see where this tree was tied down to something. It did not appear to be with a rope but maybe something thinner like a small piece of leather. The indention is still in the tree.

 

[airborne1092]

Was the split tree a 'gun sight' indicating the location and the bent tree was used to help lower a heavy pot or cooking cauldron into a deep hole? A heavy pot or cauldron full of coinage would be quite a task for even two folks to lug around, but by using a green sapling or young tree to bear some of the weight, it could be done.

Rent a ditch witch or a small back hoe for a weekend and do some landscaping. I would guess any hole much more than 5 - 7 feet deep would be pert near impossible with mere hand tools (that is, by two folks - one sick, in a hurry, in less than three days...)

Interesting thread here - Keep it coming!

Use a two box detector before renting or digging.
that way you haven't dug a hole without cause.

Use technology to your advantage.

You said he was once a blacksmith, therefore it is possible the tied down tree was a makeshift horse rail to tie the horses to while shoeing. Therefore possibly not important.

Second, if it was big and heavy and I was in ill health, I would want it in sight yet very deep so none of the slaves or neighbors could steal it without alot of hard work. Tune your MD for max depth and sensitivity.

Last, why did the doctor go to the barn, is it possible he could sneak out of the barn to get to where he wanted to go? Possibly to talk to the slave or to scout out an area he was told about? I would discount the barn as the site. Instead, I would think how I would use the barn to get away from the house to check out someplace else.

I have to do some research to find out where the barn was at that time. Thanks for the advice.

after reading this, i wondered if all this writing about the gold took time, maybe grid the areas with string and do a quick search in each gring, mark where you get good hits and no hits, concentrate on the areas aroung the old house site, people usally buried things where they could see them from their house windows, bedroom window. but i would definatly grid the whole area first. also the rock in the tree, if it was in sight fron his house it could have been used as a sight like on a rifle.

dawgwood,i enjoyed your story.everything sounds good.someone said check with a 2 box detector before digging..very,very good advice.have a reason to dig.sounds like to me that you may have a true line an also a false line.the older folks were no fools when it came to hiding gold and silver.the large tree with the round thing might have been intended to be an eye looking in the direction of the money.buy this book and read before you get too excited and do something wrong.also remove no metal pieces that could have been pointers.as old as those signs are there may be two or three caches there. the book;;;;shadow of the sentinel,by bob brewer and don't remember the other name.he tells exactly how he followed the lines and what was entailed in the finding of gold and silver coins..good luck-----tenclaw
