Re: 10,000 gold coins
With such an amazing accuracy of "6 ft. underground" (as opposed to any other depth measurement), it's amazing that this level of detail didn't also extend to something more concise than 90,000 square foot search area.
What makes you think it is necessarily 6 ft. deep? As in, what type source did that information come from? And the number of coins is also amazingly concise, meaning certainly someone had/has great insight into the details of exactly what's there (except for where....... within the square footage).
Skip the LRL coat-hanger stuff, and get a metal detector.

Re: 10,000 gold coins
90000 sq feet sounds like a cake walk to me. Get a back hoe and start digging............... But it sounds to me like some one is pulling some one's leg..................... for...Why would you let the whole world know

Re: 10,000 gold coins
Keppy, say it isn't so!!
Besides, it's probably taken on good authority because a dying miner dragged himself into a saloon, the lone survivor of an indian attack, and spilled his story to the several on-lookers there, before ever making it back to reclaim his fortune! You can't argue with that, and the 6 ft. deep, # of coins, and exact square footage now can you??

Re: 10,000 gold coins
By "Ottoman Box", you're talking 16th-17th century, inlaid mother of pearl and bone miniature trunk with brass hinges and brass lockplate; dimensions 4"x4"x6" or so and extremely rare!?! Not exactly the thing to fit 10,000 gold coins into unless they are very tiny!?!
Brass hinges and lockplate would give a different signal than gold, so you'd be looking for a mixed signal in the scenario you mentioned. But like I said before, that number of coins wouldn't fit in a space 4"x4"x6" anyway.
The only other "Ottoman Box" I've heard of is a storage-type footstool (or "ottoman")..... but that's not the kind you bury treasure in either....
My History degree is with a dual specialty, one of which is Medieval Europe, and although the 16th century is pretty much the end of the Middle Ages I've never heard of the "ten thousand gold coins/Ottoman Box buried between 3' and 6' deep" legend.......
Very interesting!!
But I'm still confused about this. Can you illuminate any further?

Doze off the top 6ft of dirt. Easily affordable with the proceeds.

Re: 10,000 gold coins
Thank you Cybercop, with full respect to your History degree is with a dual specialty you need to read more about Ottoman army during the first world war, and the box dimensions 8"x8"x12" not 4"x4"x6" and the coins are only 7grm so it fit very will, so please don’t be confused about it, any way do not want to argue about it, I just need to know if there is a good MD that can detect easily such box made of wood and iron full of gold coins.
