[mxtswinger]

Thanks and CONGRATS!

MXTswinger,

Detector used: Minelab Explorer II. Loop: the standard 10.5 inch.
Signal strength: Loud and clear with a double bleep. Think of a high pitch sound something like "Bla-loop, Bla-loop."
VDI: None. I use the Smartfind screen only. The target crosshairs were in the very upper right hand corner of the screen.
Depth: It was about 10 inches down to the tops of the bottles and the bottles were right side up. The actual depth reading was only about 4 inches due to the large size of the target.
Also, the detector was pinpointing in several different places, but I didn't need precise pinpointing anyway.

But just think, if you had just stumbled onto it it wouldn't have been half the fun. M nty

great find, but i don't think it was buried that long ago. those styles of gatorade and powerade plastic bottles are fairly new. can you read the flavor of the drink? if so that could be a clue, since they come out with new flavors every so often. i think that cache was buried only a few years ago, tops.

Skierbob, my hat is off to you. Thanks for letting me rib you a little - paid off because you gave us a few more bits of the story. LOL There are more caches associated with this one, you think? Holy Crap!

Whenever you feel comfortable, if ever, please give us more info. It's hard not to want to hear the whole story because when we aren't out finding treasure ourselves, the next best thing is reading about others who have. We sometimes live our lives vicariously!

Good luck with finding more. Wiping drool from keyboard.

[Monty]

Is there more besides what is in the pics or am I reading this wrong? M nty

 

[skierbob]

Maybe another time, Monty. Not right now.

$258.40 face in U.S. coins. $23.65 face in Canadian coins. I believe it was buried sometime in the last 15 years. I actually found a coded treasure note in a jar buried in another spot some 10 miles away, which led me to the area where this cache was buried. It just goes to show you that people are still burying stuff out there and there's always the chance that you'll find a cache too.

Nice find Bob!

I'm guessing that it's more recent then the last 15 years though. Those plastic bottle designs seem fairly new ( the blue one in particular ). It looks like the new water/sports drink container. So maybe in the last 4 years? Just a guess on my part though.

WOW, cool story Bob! Where did you come across the map/code? (I understand if you need to keep it hushhush)

Was this on private or public land? I know you'll answer 'public', but I wonder why the person would have gone to the trouble of planting that cache someplace where they could lose it?

Gotta feel sorry for the person who just lost their cache....

Maybe they are a survivalist planting caches, preparing for the day TSHTF?

 

[Monty]

I don't think anyone lost their cache, rather planned on someone finding it. Why else would the clues be made available? Monty

 

[wildrider]

Man, that's alot of loot.

I'm thinking about cache hunting myself.
I've always been a relic hunter, but silver and gold are getting more tempting.
