Need help with a picture.

Im no dowser benny, but I do have experience and use common sense. First I check foundation corners, next run the fence line and property boundries....I focus on property corners, and fence posts. Next imagine your self looking out a kitchen window....caches are often buried in spots where the depositor could glance out the window, and see the spot and keep an eye on it. Often times ill search out the cloths line area....usally this is within view of a window as mentioned before. This is a spot where the loose pocket change ends up on the ground, and a post for a cloths line is a great cache marker. Next of course is the old growth trees...I always check these trees for caches, and I often bury my own caches in the roots and shade of an old marker tree....look for marks or hardware on and in the tree. Large stumps should be checked also. Barns, sheds,and out houses have always been go to hiding spots, and should be checked....same approach under stairs, and all four corners of the structures, or foundations....of course basements and root cellars are hot spots also.....caches are often times buried at depths that are frustratingly deep, and patience and determination are a virtue when cache hunting. I my self bury my caches at depths that are detectable and tested with my detector. I think most caches are buried within view of the main house, and its reassuring to the depositor to be able to glance out a window and make sure no one is obviously digging the spot.View attachment 2006943

I use jars with metal lids....they are sealed in blue tape, and then dipped in hot paraffin wax !! Last pic is what that spot looks like now....I call this dime cache of 30 bucks the pissy cache....I often pee on it !!:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

Cheers Benny !!
That’s awesome info thanks Bart!
 

To finish what I started saying about cypress tree... 2 trees in an area with scattered button finds. I was helping with the museum survey, at least going over satellite images. They covered back up this large slab again, after I told them what it might be. At each end was pointers looking like a top of helmet (think it's the German helmet).

The Pointed Helmet thing is a PickelHaube Helmet. The two pins? I would think an alignment site, top of pin to top of pin check from each end?
 

I am Happy that I have never been a thief and Never greedy as those types can stay far away from me and the moment I sense that in a person it's Goodbye.
Have to add to this post that I may have to become a D expert and source out all the parts and build a couple and the package can be expanded to LIDAR etc. I want this thing to be afffordable to most anyone even if I earn little per
unit.
I am looking at posting in the "TOOLS Forum" about this idea. Thanks for your interest guys I have never done anything like this before and it is for the benefit of all treasure hunters. I have my Origin letter sent out long ago to protect the Idea as a few of my ideas have been stolen in the past.

Hello All,

If you could offer any advice on buried valuables (silver most likely) please let me know. Also, looking for the original home site.

Thanks in advance!

How about sharing why you think there is something hidden on the property? The background story helps in figuring out how the person hiding something may have been thinking.

No real backstory to be honest. Just an old property.

Always good to check it out more.

Ahhh a hunch hunt. Been on a few of those. Never can tell what one might find.
Stand under the kitchen window, look around, is there anything that stands out in the yard?
Picture where the clothes line may have been. Look for tool sheds etcc. best of luck.
