UPDATE:To dig or not to dig..that is the question

Your story reminds me of an outing several years ago in Arizona. My friend and I were MDing an old silver mining camp when I got a signal that nearly blew my eardrums. There was a story behind the site that a flash flood had hit the camp and washed away the saloon and the safe that was in it. WELL, I determined the size of the object by the signal and it was the proper size for a safe. Knowing that I had found the missing safe I started digging like there was no tomorrow. Guess what I found down about 2 1/2 feet------------------ the door to a potbelly stove. At least it was exciting for a while. Anybody living around the Phoenix area, do some research on The Tip Top silver mine. There were a lot of stone miners cabin foundations scattered around the area.
