Detector(s) used
Whites DFX, Beach Hunter ID
Not a typical find in your own backyard. Just got my White's DFX fixed and was in my backyard testing (just moved in about a month ago). I was swinging and got a slammer signal, registering quarters, dimes and half dollars. This is what I dug up. Called the police and fire departments, opened casket to find out that someone buried a CAT in an infant casket.

Holy crap, I would have called the authorites too.
 

That must have been one crazy moment till that thing opened haha Must have really loved that cat, I'm sure those caskets are not cheep.
 

Dfx says possible quarters dimes and half dollars...but Whites proprietary software discriminates all cat signals? Hmmmm, maybe I should upgrade from xlt.
I'm soooo tired of finding cats.
 

you are lucky they did not just bring the bomb squad in and blow it to smithereens LOL
 

That's really freaky! I think you just took top honors for the strangest find!

Must be good metal to read in coin range! I can only imagine what your detector was thinking! Lol!

Hope you put kitty back?

Congrats! And you didn't freak out.
 

Put it back before you wind up in a poltergeist movie.
 

Wow I would have had to change my under shorts. odd find!
 

Woah. That kitty is looking rough about now, looks like brown water. Was there a skull left or something to identify it?
 

Wow, did you look under the remains? Sometimes clever old time cache hiders would put a dead animal atop the loot so that finders would put the cache back in the ground undisturbed. I read once that stage coach robbers would do this, and then go back to retrieve it after the posse disbanded.
 

Interesting story
