I am just starting out in this hobby, I will be getting a MD this weekend, and cant wait to search my yard. Anyhow I best get to the point here. I moved here to Wi. from Washington state a few years ago. I lived a couple years in Richland Wa. I lived in a rental house just off the river on the west side of town. Kinda out in the country. About a few months before I had moved a man came to the house. I dont recall his name. He told me that he had lived in this house as a boy and then went off to fight in Vietnam. He told me that when he came back he had burried a large amount of weapons, morters and such. Im not old enough to know just exactly how someone could bring all that kind of stuff home, but maybe there are some vets here that think this is possible? He told me that when he lived there the yard, wich is approx 3.5 acres was an apple orchard at the time. Things had changed alot and he said he wouldnt recognize where he burried the stuff at. Anyways, if anyone is interested and would like to do a little research on this I would be glad to give you the address. The people that own it, if they still live in the area were very nice people and probly wouldnt have a problem with a treasure hunter. I wish I would have had a detector at the time, the thought never even crossed my mind untill I started reading things on this forum. So is there anyone living in Wa interested? Let me know.
 

1968 was different then today. a guy coming home from SE Asia could carry his weapon in his duffle, no NTSB no hijacking crap until 1972..

My uncle brought back several pistols he bought in the PX while stationed in Germany. I know a couple vets that served in SE Asia that came home with captured AK's, they had a buddy in the transportation pool ship crap home to their parents or kin..
He probably buried after the GCA of 1968 when the fed got involved with arms tracking..
 

Cool, Thanks for the info! Dangit I wish I would thought about getting a MD a while ago! LOL Im about 1600 miles and 3 years to late! >:( :(
