Have you ever intentionaly hidden something of value in the ground and if so what did you use to mark the spot? cause memory fades with time; or did you draw a map to refind the spot?
silver dollars when you were a kid would be what? 1850?
true enough oldsilver and frankn. I have trouble remembering my passwords. so did they have trouble remembering was that six paces from the well or twelve. I find old age a real pain.
True, you could use coordinates like that or you could use, say so many paces or feet in a certain compass direction from a prominent marker like a tree, rock, or building. Frank View attachment 1072670
I have only seen this once. I found a small cache dead center of a yard. It appears they used the four corner posts to get a fix on the spot. Just my guess. FrankYes, pacing is a well known method used. I was giving a method that many people may never have thought of, including myself. If you have a spot that had a couple of features that could have been used as landmarks, it might be worth trying that right angle thing.
