Possible cache?

[Swartzie]

Alrighty. Here's what I've got. I have a hole dug about 6+ inches and have run into rock. Getting a very strong signal from the hole. I have opened up the hole about 10 inches in diameter hoping to find the edge of the rock, but no luck. It's a large rock. This place is located in a public hunting area. Although in the early 1900's there used to be a home about 500 ft away. Nothing there now but a cellar hole.

I'm excited to think it's a cache. But, I'm new to detecting and really don't know what to think. The detector (Ace 250) is really hitting hard over the hole. The signal bounces around .10 - .25 - .50 like crazy. Nothing lower. One thing that bothers me is this "cache" is located in an old sandstone quarry. Perhaps my "cache" is just a magnetized rock.

Any thoughts?

Maybe minerals, but it could be anything. Not to get your hopes too high, but caches were sometimes buried this way. Like I said...could be anything.

DIG! DIG! DIG!

I think many of us would dig half way to China to satisfy our curiosity on that one. lol Good luck and let us know if it was anything fun!

Update.

It was nothing. Just a big 'ol steel plate. Makes sense I guess since the place was a quarry at one time.

Thanks for the input.

lol I hope you don't feel bad, I been there too thinking I found the "mother load of a stash. Swinging in a old wooded lot by a large pecan tree I got an overload signal, dug down and found a large steel plate about 4 inches down. I just knew I was gonna be covered in coins. Digging enough around it to be able to lift the heavy steel plate I got it up and there it was

The best looking water meter I ever saw lol
