Hay Vor, Maybe you can get Jeff to change the title From offer to Pirate House! Frank..
Let's wait to see how far it gets first. Don't think Jeff is going to do me any favors.
So you have met the caretaker and he is apparently searching the grounds for the gold just like they did back in 30s when the old seaman died. If anything is there, it would be hidden inside the house since he built it himself and not outside for anyone to dig.
In the meantime, BDD is carrying on his pirate silver conversation over on the swamp gold thread. He has now discovered the details of the "backhoe boyz" who dug up the wire coil at 5' at Rocky Bluff. Of course, as any good dowser would say, they missed the spot by a few feet. Dowsers usually use one of the following excuses:
1) you didn't dig deep enough
2) you missed it by a few feet
3) it was there but it must of been dug up already
4) something interfered with the signal
5) now where did I leave my mule's tooth?
And over on the PA thread, talk is of medieval bears and other blah, blah, blah.
