I live on an old home site that has been in my family and constantly inhabited for 200 years. Ive found flint, arrow heads and all kinds of different farm junk deposited over the course of the two centuries of inhabitation. Before my mom died she told my daughter she buried some money in the back yard, but I believe there is a much larger cache out here to find and there is a strange shape made by the formation of planted pecan trees. Please someone help me out here. 20201011_174556.jpg Screenshot_20201011-175027_Gallery.jpg

Most backyard caches are buried so the person can see them from their bedroom window. You can get a steel rod with a "T" handle and probe around looking for a soft spot.

You might be zoomed out too much. Once a TN member here, put in a drain tile back yard of farm he inherited. I'm thinking it was 2 mason jar caches of silver coins he dug up. Both caches were down 4 feet, probably never beeped them times detecting the back yard.

My mom always sat on the bed next to her bedroom window, or stood at the kitchen sink staring out in the yard. She got sick in the middle of 2018 and about January 2019 we were having dinner when she told my daughter about the buried cash. Some time between those two events I remember her being out in the yard with her walker and a little spade, but I didn't even question the act as we had been planting lemon trees and all sorts of different plants around the yard.

As for the pecan trees I am prospecting for something much older, maybe my great grandfather would have buried out there. He was a tough old farmer and knew every inch of the land. The farm dump is located on the edge of a cypress forest just off screen to the right, unseen on the images I submitted. In any case I just thought the pecan trees were grown in an awfully unusual formation and I couldn't discern any agriculturally significant logic to the pattern.
