Vietnam era Guns, morter ,weapons cache Wa. state

[Mystro7]

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.

Thanks for the info. At least I know it is possible. I dont think the guy was lying about his story. I would just like to beable to see someone who may be interested find this. I wish I could but its to far for me to go now. Ill give the address to the right person or persons and perhaps they can research and find who the previous owners of the property were and perhaps find the man who actually burried the stuff. That would be much easier than spending years trying to follow some old treasure maps he he. I just think it would be exciting, for whom ever may be interested in following this.

I was personally present when two comrades removed the compressor and insulation from a small apartment refrigerator and inserted two AK-47s and two M-16s. They stated that one guy got the guns and the other guy got the ammo. We watched for stories of their being busted for over six months in the Stars and Stripes and it never happenned. Since these were shipped from Vietnam where everything was inspected for dope I'd say it can and was done. Simplest method was to have your weapon DEWAT (deactivated war trophy) and then fix it when you got home. exanimo, ss

Gee!! I don't know if I would like to dig a hole anywhere, and strike a 'mortar', hopfully, he meant the 'mortar' it'self and 'not' any piece of ordinance that could ruin your whole day.. Being underground for 30+ years, they had better be well packed, or by now their just big clumps of oxide.. In 1995 when the Canadian Liberals conned mostly city people into believing that they could control crime in the big cities by registering duck hunters, target shooters, and collectors firearms. There were a LOT of web pages springing up on how to hide and preserve your firearms until this bunch of dummy politicians is gone.. (If you follow Canadian politics, that time is almost upon us..Our Liberal government is about to self destruct thank god) some of those well preserved firearms will have no doubt been lost over the past 10 years, and the gun cache hunting will begin here soon as well...
