The perfect dig tool for cache hunting

[architecad]

Hi

I found this video where this gentleman built this pole digger carrier, perfect to drill and see before where be a cache buried.
BTW, that gentleman in the video is not Bill Clinton.

Thanks

It might not be good for the cache, but it would be great for post holes.

Indeed this machine was designed to dig hole to bury poles, that's is correct, my point is that you can use it for other purpose, like drill a hole to see whether you had found a cache or not. Most of cache are buried between 4 to 5'-0" depth.

Now theres a neat toy to have. I would dig around the contianer, maybe 3 holes, then reach in and start feeling around.

That's pretty cool. An auger on a stand. I was using an auger to drill a post hole before, and it hit a rock and ricocheted and nearly broke my finger. Caused tendon damage, and I still can't bend my finger all the way. Something like this would be great for preventing injuries like that.

How do you know?

I would like to see it work in Caliche...

Buy the post hole digger at Harbor Freight , build your own frame. Or if your time is limited like me, add two pieces or 1" conduit and bring a buddy to hold the other side.

BTW: Buy the warranty

If you hit the cache square on with that auger post hole contraption, it would ruin the cache for sure.

Other treasure hunter finding caches in Mexico, Colombia, EU and myself in the Caribbean. Make some research and you will find more information about testimonies finding caches.

If you're carefull using the auger may be you will ruin the lid of the cache or strong box or whatever, but what do you want? that box or the coins inside the box?

Post hole banks are not 4' - 5' deep too are they? It sounds like a metal
detector wouldn't do much good at locating caches if most of them are that
deep. Or do we need to carry the post auger and a two-box detector?

[DFX DAVE in M.D.]

I just don't see people putting a cache 6 foot or more in the ground, how can they get to it when they needed it. I could see a cache being that deep in a ocean area covered with sand or a inland flood zone. I don't mean no dis-respect here, I see to many other post about people claiming they have a location of cache 20 feet deep, and they just won't dig it the heck up. If it was easy, there would be no cache's left, lol. Me and my cousin dug out a 8 foot privy in two days with a shovel and bucket on a rope for a few old bottles. I would dig 20 feet deep with a shovel for sure if I knew there was a treasure chest full of gold and silver coins. I am just not convinced we can accurately tell the exact location of a deep cache at this time. They had a nice stage coach chest on a recent episode of Pawn Stars that had some value to it. If you dug one of them up it would probaly be toast by now any way.

Home Depot - Plumbing Section -- they have a six foot ground probe with a T-Handle -- other options Arc-Data-Logger, Backhoe

Yeah, that's what you need alright, something to ruin the crap outta your coins and other valuables when it hits them and chews them up. I'd like to see what that thing would do if it came gnawing right down in the middle of a pot of old valuable gold coins or silverware,etc. It would not be pretty- I can tell you that! and the value would plunge like a lead duck!

[Frankn]

That post hole digger kind of takes the fun out of seeing that first glitter of gold or silver plus those things are kind of heavy. Can you imagine what it could do to the coin rating? Now I know I will get an arguement about this, but I have never found a casch with the top lower than 2'. Granted when the Japanese planted all that gold on that island it was 20+' but that is the exception!

[BobInFla]

Why would anyone go to the trouble of burying a cache 6 feet deep if the location was a secret? If I was burying something, the location would be much more important than the depth and I would want to be able to retrieve it easily. And for those caches that were buried in a hurry you can bet that they weren't more than a couple of feet deep. The idea of deeply buried caches is just illogical.

[Mr.Jody]

Maybe, just MAYBE some cashes(<----LOL) are that deep, but I know one thing, most are NOT!
