Hi, yes it is hand made and was hidden so well that it made it to maryland and was in a Purple Heart thrift store, it's is done in pencil, tracing roads landmarks , and location it is dated and seems that the person was not from area not knowing who farmland he buried it on. But full detail of land to marked location. Ariel view is exactly as he marked to this day untouched . It's in your area I am ready to come and finally look in to this. I had a stroke and been sick but am back now let me know what you think. I can go right to the location, from looking at map. Jon
