Cache Question?

[swizzle]

Has anyone ever found a cache under a tree? I was running my detector around a few trees and the signals I was getting sounded good but were very tight to the base of the trunk. Is it possible that these signals could be from a cache buried when the tree was smaller? Then overtime the tree grew over the top of the cache? All these trees are withing 70 feet of a cellar hole. I would have dug but the ground was frozen. Jason

Plant a cache, Plant a tree to mark the spot. Sounds logical to me. I'm working a mill site now that is from probably the 1850's or earlier. Trees are 10 to 24+ inches in diameter on the site. Alot of them have fallen over to and just today I checked the big rootball and got alot of noise on the MXT. I dug and dug and started to pull up peices of what must have been a wooden box. Metal brackets etc.. All very old. It still sounded off when I stopped so I have to go back and finish tomorrow. Who knows. Bjorn I'll call you!

My dad once found a 5 dollar gold piece in an old stump. Why not?

i always check the base of trees, you never know what will pop up.
