I've recently come across a story of someone in his youth that worked for a man that paid him in silver dollars. This person would work for the guy, and he would make him wait at the front of his house while he went off on a trail for 5 minutes or so and came back with his pay. The man got sick very suddenly and went to the hospital and died (this was in the late 50's or so). After he died, people searched his house, and found some silver dollars in the mattress, but as far as anyone knows, no one has looked elsewhere on the property. The fact that some were found in the house (again, I am pretty sure of this), most likely means he never had time to remove the rest before he died. Also, my this person never told anyone of how he got paid with the thoughts of going back some day.
The point of this story is what should I use to look for this cache? I won't be able to look until this summer, and in the mean time, I have picked up several books on the subject (cache hunting, treasure manual 6 and 7). I have a Whites Prizm II and a Garrett Ace 250 I use for coin shooting, but I want something that would give me the best chance of finding this cache. Something that would cover the most ground and still find something of the size of a quart jar of coins or something like that.
I've read several threads here about building your own, and have seen some plans, but am not sure I want to go that way. What would be best to use that could detect two foot or so deep and cover a larger area than my detectors? Any hints or specifics would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to spend some money if necessary.
And if I find anything I promise to post pictures :-)
Thanks
Jay
