moonshiners money

[Imsolucky2day]

Just found out my great grandfather was a moonshiner who's money was never found he buried it in Mason jars, I know the location of where it could be buried its a heavily wooded area not sure if he lived in nearby house will have to see if owners give permission if they own land. Mainly I'm looking for anyone who's found buried moonshiners money would it most likely be near house or in woods and how deep you think?

I'm looking for a moonshiners buried valuables. I found his buried bottle dump. Not far from where he lived. I know he died unexpectedly his valuables were never reported to being found. His property is 100%farmland now nothing within half a mile in any direction from there except his dump... I know he was for sure wealthy cause I found a beat up 13 rubies pocketwatch case. Just the one hinged metal cover is 7.5 grams 14k gold. Long story short I have same question you have. Where do I look for his stash. U say 100 feet from his still. I assume his dump is not far from where his still was. Been watching "moonshiners" series on t.v. about it but haven't really gotten any leads on where they stash their $$/guns/ECT. There is a river I suspect might have been their travel method, there is an island 1 mile upriver and one less then a quarter mile downriver... Some big trees are around the farmland. I metal detected area but it's so trashy everywhere I gotta narrow search somehow. Have any on here found a moonshiners buried stash before? An actual testimony would be ideal! Help us both out.

For u id suggest to study the location on historical aerial viewer maps website, study the different photos from different years look for trails, and or really covered spots overly protected to keep grandpa safe from feds catching him with satellites. Even if they maybe didn't have satellites then moonshiners are paranoid. Goodluck! If anybody wants to help comment here help us both. Or. Me please thanks

Where was the house? As several people have pointed out on this thread, folks who have buried their money like to keep an eye on it. Think about where the moonshiner did business - probably not near the still (which is probably close to a water source). He wouldn't have wanted to let people near where he worked. Perhaps he had a shack or other place to rest away from the home?

Good luck to all,

So what ur saying is that if still and river is to the south of his house. Odds are he looked through bedroom window to the north 100 feet or so away would be his buried stash. How deep would logic suggest he buried it? And considering detected goes off 10x per swing cause of all the nails and trash I couldn't simply bribe the current farmer rent a bulldozer and aimlessly dig the whole north part of where his yard used to be. Unless I know it's less then 2 feet deep. Haha actually if he was going back to his stash more often then not it probably isn't deeper then 3 feet.... I want to believe there is a stash here seriously. Id go the dozer route if I narrowed it down to say 50x50 square feet area. No markers or clues are visible anymore cause of farming tho... Hmmm stash isn't in the river or islands cause of line of sight and distance, nothing else remains except the ground I guess. And the trees. If the tree was big enough to stash then could it still be alive today if so it would have to be like 200/250+ years old I'm thinking... Hmmm

For long term storage, I might bury my stash in the woods. If it was a stash that I accessed often, there’s no way I’d put it in the woods where someone might see me digging. I’d bury it in the floor of my cabin or the floor of an out building so no one could see me access it. A small hole a foot deep with a board on top with some dirt over it would be plenty good.

I found horseshoes I'm thinking now that wherever they hid from the rain he could of hid is stash from the feds

I see a brick-lined small vault with good bottom drainage and flat rock cover.

I see it too! Is there 4 walls there or just two or three? How big is the rock? Like 4 feet by 4feet? So the floor drains. This means that there has to be elevated somewhat above surroundings. I'm gonna manifest the hell out of what u just said. Im close to something big I can feel it. I'm confident my copper l rods will bring me there. I am lucky. I am not a treasure hunter I'm a treasure finder. What else do you see smell taste hear? Who else is there?

U manifest this with me and I'll digg it. After I'll help manifest some forgotten stash location near you. So you can digg it. Don't bullshit me tho cuz I'm gullible and ain't got nobody so as amusing as it might be it would mess me up emotionally.

Hire a dowser. That's a surefire way to find treasure. 😂

Never pay upfront - offer the dowser a fair split of the find.
