That's the first time I've heard of gold deteriorating to dirt! :laughing7:

Keep it up. It might still be there (if your arms don't give out first)!

If that would have happened on American Diggers, the box would have been filled with old watches, etc seemingly untarnished by time. Hmmm.........

Congrats on the 10 inches wide 18 inches long metal container find :notworthy:

Remember the glass is always Half full, unless it's beer,

then it needs topped off :occasion14:

Had almost the same thing happen to me....almost. All I found was the lid of a strong box!

Must have been poor quality gold. :laughing7:

Then again, maybe it was a decoy and the gold is another 4 feet down.

Maybe there's a false bottom in the box.

I'd keep checking the area anyway.

I've never found a box however I found a imitation reproduction of an old Spanish gold coin buried at 6 inches, I rushed to a coin and collectibles dealer nearby, ended up being a coin from some dungeon an dragons game haha
