This cache hunter named Paul found a number of caches in the 70s and 80s. One is still in the state by state treasure book. In Delaware Ohio a old spinster was known to hoard her money and was thought to have buried it in her rose garden. She lived either by or on the land called White Sands, Well Paul told me that he had heard of this cache and went to locate it. Well the lady was dead and the house abandoned. He and his partner drove out back and seen the neighbors and asked them if they knew anything about this cache. They said its right there in the rose garden. To Pauls surprise he thought why hasnt anyone tried to find it. Paul got out his detector and in minutes had found the cache but waited until the neighbors left and him and his partner took the silver halves and dollars and headed back home. Paul told me that his partner offered him $9000. for Pauls half of the money. Paul refused and kept it. Well I asked him why he didnt sell his half for that money and he said that it was worth much more. I never seen the whole cache for Paul was no braggard and I think he only told me these true stories because I showed interest in the metal detecting That he was getting old and wanted to share his stories.

John's cache collecting tip of the day. In Ohio a stash of confederate dollars was found during a remodel of a house. The stash was on a string, hanging from the vanity mirror in the bathroom.

Masons in Ohio were known to put a penny with the first brick layed. Just another place to look.

Have you hit water yet? Maybe try the side of the hole, enlarge it and see where the leaf trail takes you. Theres an interesting article on dowsing posted here also, you two could exchange ideas. Sounds like you have taken detecting to the next level, should see if there is a local mining operation who could use their pl to map the ground for you. Really though if thier is concrete, what your looking for would be under there, what kind of concrete did they use back then? A simple water test will tell you if you need to dig deeper, take a buck of water and pour it in the hole, watch where the water goes, path of least resistance, makes it easier to dig too. You could build a hot fire in the hole and see if it goes boom, or just pops? I know when graves are dug a long thin rod is used to locate caskets, have you tried that? Im curious, what is the reaction there when you tell people about this? Was this area ever flooded or under water? I dont have enough info to help you, please be more specific. Do you have lat and long coordinates? Ok just funnin, its amazing how many times I have found the same post. What is it you want, I did post some good ideas. I would be concerned with booby traps or unexploded ordinance. Its more likely you will find a weapon and ammo cache. Or someone is pulling your leg. I wouild search around the structure, under large imovable rocks or concrete. Also there is a way you can take Infared Pictures and any gold would give off an aroura if its burried there. Keep reading as you will find many ways to locate what you think is there.
