I got the exact same spot 7-8 ft deep.
 

deepsecrets,
Dowsing has revealed that in the white circles there are gold and silver coin caches.
Thanks for posting your picture,
Jon

If this legend is true, the bullion value would be close to $2M today - not to mention the historical value of what is said to be buried. This is on private land, maybe time to get a contract together?

Well, I don't know about that...might be just a simple gold coin cache in an iron kettle. Can you provide a map which takes in a larger area?

Hi there,
I'm not sure if you use dowsing equipment. If you do can you visit the site a few times and do a field check w/o drawing attention to yourself? Perhaps stay within the right of way of the north/south road near the trees? and check the one location revealed by dowsing from Red_desert, Okiedowser and myself.

Yep! That's the plan.
 

The treasure may contain more silver than gold. I get a strong silver response from Jon's hits.

That would make sense as a large portion of this cache is silverware; there is supposedly $50k (1860's) in gold coin and more in silver coin.
 

I didn't check for silverware, but got plenty of hits on silver coins or just silver.

Yes i just check for gold to..went back and checked (Jon) out ,,the 2 to the left are the biggest one's,on silver. Well done Jon. :thumbsup:

Thanks!
Great dowsing work from everyone!
I think this is the first time 4 dowsers picked up on the same location! (so far)
That is very promising.

Ok I checked for
gold = red
Iron = yellow Not sure what it is but was very large signal. I had to block it to see the iron at the gold location.
Gold and Iron = red and yellow
silver = Purple May be in house or very near.
brass = blue

I don't know anything about the layout of this place other than what deepsecerts stated. I don't know if the gold is in an iron box but the combined elements hit the same place.
Hope you find something!

Tim
