You bet i'm heading back! It is funny you mention the bills....I was thinking the same thing!! There is quite a large amount off area that has immature or no trees (usually meaning there was a structure there in the past)...so I'm buying a spare set of 9's and heading back there Sat. I'll keep you all updated! After this site I have another 5 miles of lake front on this side of the lake and another 7 on the other side! Anyone ever going to the Rochester, NY area email me..I'll show you the spot..(I'll have to blindfold you until we get there though! )
Here is the history of the lakes (Yeah..there are 2) I have not even dectected at the second one yet.
Hemlock & Canadice Lake Water Supply History
1876 - Conduit I, Rush Reservoir and Highland Reservoir construction was completed and started to deliver water to the City's distribution system.
1894 - Conduit II construction was completed, including 1550-foot Hemlock Lake intake pipe and two-mile brick tunnel.
1896 - City purchased St. James Hotel and 55 other buildings on Hemlock Lake. Acquisition and removal of all Hemlock and Canadice Lakes' shoreline properties was completed in the early 1950's.
1901 - Hemlock Gatehouse was constructed.
1902 - City began a program to reforest recently acquired property. Over three million trees were planted over the next 30 years.
1909 - Cobbs Hill Reservoir construction was completed.
1918 - Conduit III construction was completed.
1919 - Canadice tunnel was put in service to divert water from Curved Dam on Canadice Outlet into Hemlock Lake.
1927 - Hemlock dike was raised.
1936 - New spillway was built at Hemlock Lake.
1937 - Canadice Lake dam was built.
1943 - A program for cleaning and lining conduits with cement was started.
1947 - Canadice dike was raised.
1948 - Canadice Lake Pump House and Wayland Dam were built.
1965 - Hemlock Pump Station and tunnel bypass were completed.
1972 - Hurricane Agnes washed out Curved Dam on Canadice Outlet (rebuilt in 1973).
1983 - Cobbs Hill Reservoir was rehabilitated.
1992 - Rush Reservoir was rehabilitated.

Here is a map I found of the cottages etc. on the lake in 1883...So I have a idea of who may have buried the cache..
Happy Hunting...

If the lids are still giving a signal then you may find some nice silver notes and the like. Good Luck and thanks for sharing the story.HH
Re: CACHE Upate with PIC - I added some neat INFO.
GREAT FIND!!!! You might want to take a look at the area with Google Earth. It could help you pinpoint the residences and hotels. You've got a really fantastic site.

Anyone can make life interesting you just have to go out there and do things instead of sitting on your butt doing nothing. Second quote: Life is about trying new things not just standing around.
Re: CACHE Upate with PIC - I added some neat INFO.
Congrats on the cache stash!
I found your lake(s) on the USGS topo maps (surveyed 1901). MOST of the homes/buildings shown on your 1883 are GONE by 1901!
Possibly already underwater? Torn down? Who knows!
Looks like a great place to detect for the next few YEARS.
