5-7 ft. Down! I doubt if there's a Dog alive that can pick up a scent that deep! I hope I'm wrong, tho!

Then again, I don't know how they sniff it out at all.
So, who knows.

FF: Prior to 1983, The Ink used in US Currency was Lead Based! Maybe a fairly large amount Could be detected? Anyone know for sure?

The Current Ink contains Cadium, Mercury, & Arsenic!

Joe, do you mean cadmium?

Just a thought. They keep making changes to the paper currency for foiling counterfeiters. What if the cadmium is radioactive? In small amounts, what is normally carried in your pocket means nothing dangerous but in large amounts that are stashed, it could be something else. It could put out enough of a signal to be detected by a geiger counter. Naturally occurring cadmium is composed of 8 isotopes. For two of them, natural radioactivity was observed, and other three are predicted to be radioactive but their decays were never observed, due to extremely long half-life times.

Think of the possibility, the ability to find large stashes of paper currency even if hidden or buried especially in a non-metallic container.

Stoney: I meant Cadmium! Sorry, TYPO! Your'e idea is worth checking out! First, You need a fairly large number of Bills! That leaves me out!

I think you can rent a ground penetrating sonar unit or the chemicals in the pvc or bills may give off something to an infra-red unit??

Like I posted earlier, there is equipment that can find it but I don't have a clue where to get your or my hands on it. If I could I would use it for locating buried antique ceramics.

A couple of years ago I did get to observe the FBI searching a back yard of a house in Los Angeles. They were looking for money stashed from an armored car heist and the guy who had done it. The guy and is Buddy's were now gone. First they searched the yard with metal detectors and found nothing. I recognized the metal detectors. Next they brought in some equipment I have never seen and it look like it was proprietary made. Carried in expensive field transport cases. That is, like a government contract that had no identifying name or numbers. They looked for a full day and then found some 3" dia. pvc canisters that were buried next to the back cement block wall, buried vertically about 2.5 feet down.

I was only there as a bounty hunter after the robbers and was waiting to see if they could recover any info I could use to track. The FBI was very sullen and not cooperative beyond what they were required to communicate with me.

Also there was a case in the past 4 years or so where a Bio-Research engineer had taken home samples of anthrax and other such things and buried them in his back yard (Southern California). The whole deal was very hinky as the engineer claimed he had stored the samples to guarantee his life etc. because the Bio-Lab was creating illegal bio weapons for the USG. In that case the FBI took about a week and totally removed the entire back yard looking for anything. They found the samples, documents, paper money and some guns buried in PVC pipes. I understand it was an exhaustive search. The whole case against the guy was sealed and he never was prosecuted for anything.

Point being, there is tools to do it and I wish someone out there can find them or where to find them and post here for all of us to know. I wonder if it could be micro acoustic where the open air chamber of the pvc would make a void or irregular barrier to the sound travel vs just damp dirt? Any speculation out there?
