Suggestions on getting a 2-box--Help

[Larry(IN)]

I have found a few caches in my years of detecting and was just thinking of trying a 2-box. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with these? I was thinking of a TF-900 or possibly the Garrett Master Hunter CX plus with treasure hound. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you going to be, exclusively, JUST hunting for Caches?
If you can clarify a bit more:?
? ? The target 's size, type of metal (ferrous/nonferrous), how deep!
As you know, metal detectors are build for specific targets!
Small shallow targets, large deep targets..
And! Anything in between!
As with a "truck", the "truck" you buy, is the "truck" you need!
Why buy a 1 1/2 t. flat bed, when all you haul is a few bags of...
Same with a metal detctor!
Figure out your target and then look for a detector to fit the "NEED"!
Check with a "serious" metal detectorist!
They will have an assortment of detectors!
Or! You might try a detector that can be used for several purposes!
IE: Changing the loops size, Can be readjusted for, etc

I have been detecting 30 years and I do have an over abundant of detectors and coils including the Explorer 2 with an 18 inch coil. My last cache was dug up from 18 inches which was 19 silver dollars in a mason jar which was inside a crock pot of porcelain. I have been hunting a few sites which have been know to have caches on them and just haven't located it yet. I guess you can say I'm hunting for silver but who knows what they put it in?? I'm just looking for something that can locate a mason jar possibly at 3 feet with silver in it. I know this 18" will not hit it that deep. I was leaning towards the treasure hound on a CX but I have been working on some lost cave caches from Al Capone. NW Indiana is not known for caves but there has been a story in Lost Treasure about A Capone and a cave which they blew closed with 250 cases of whiskey in it. I have located the property and it is rather hilly for this area. I suppose they could of easily dug into one of these hills to make a cave. Anyway, this then is what gets me leaning towards a detector like the TF 900 or TM 808 because of the cave mode. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with either of these detectors? The property I have been hunting has turned up nothing and I'm suspecting the cache is beyond reach of all my present detectors.
