Gaithersburg, Maryland-Buried coin collection

[Frankn]

This one is for coin collectors, metal detectorist, and cache hunters.
In 1972 Herman Rabbit died. He left a map showing where $350,000 in paper money was buried in milk cans and a drum containing $50,000 in silver was buried. They were recovered. Now here's the kicker, He collected rare coins and his collection has never been found. The bad news is that he owned 3000 acres, but caches are usually buried in site of the house. Any one interested in partering on this one? Just find his house site and away we go. Frank

I live in Gaithersburg. I'm game. Only problem is this place has been overdeveloped now, and there's not much "Farmland" left.

Crazyfish, since you live up there, stop in the recorders office and find the location of Rabbit's place and who ownes it now. Check with them and get permission to search. If you need help on the search ,let me know and I will come up there. I am in Harford Co. , but it would be a good adventure. Frank

Unfortunately, it looks like Herman Rabbit farm is now NIST property (National Institute of Science and Technology). Maybe not though....

Good catch crazyfish, looks like that park has been graded and the rest developed. To late again I guess. Nice try, Frank
