NICE HORD WAS FOUND AND IM NOT TELLING WHERE

[Indyfan73]

OK ON WEDNESDAY I WAS VERY PISSED OFF LEAVING WORK IT WAS A VERY BAD DAY I WAS ON THE WAY HOME WHEN I SAY THAT THE OLD HOME THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HUNT FOR SEVERAL YEARS WAS GOING TO GET TORE DOWN. I STOPED AND ASK THE PEOPLE IF THEY WOULD MIND IF I WENT MEDAL DETECTING AROUND BEFORE THEY TORE IT DOWN AND WAS GIVEN WRITTEN PERMISION TO DO THIS FROM THE CONSTRICTION FORMAN (YES I CARRIE RELISES WITH ME JUST IN CASE).
I WAS OFF AND ON MY WAY IN A BETTER MOOD AND DECIED THAT I HAD 2 OR 3 GOOD HOURS OF HUNTING AND I KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING TO GO.

I ARIVED BACK AT THE HOUSE A HOURS OR SO LATER AND STARTED IN THE BACK YARD NEER A FINCE LINE AND SET TO CLEARING MY HAD AND AFTER SOME SMALL LITTLE SCRAPS OF METAL AND A FEW MODEREN COINS I HIT A BIG SIGNAL. I WAS THERE ABOUT A HOUR AND A HALF AND THIS SIGNAL PEGED MY WHITES CLASSIC 5 ID IF WOULD NOT MOVE OFF THE SILVER DOLLER MARK FOR A FOOT SQUARE AREA. TO ME THIS IS JUST A LARGE PIECE OF TRASH BUT IT WAS TOO SHALOW FOR A LARGE PEICE OF JUNK METAL AND THESE ARE USUALY BOUNCE ON MY SIGNALS AND SO I ADJUSTED AND WENT BACK TO SCAN AGAIN AND AGAIN I PEGGED THE METER.

I STARTED TO DIG AND ABOUT A FOOT DOWN I FOUNS A RUBBER INTERTUBE LOOKING LIKE IT HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM A OLD CAR TIRE AND I STARTED TO YANK IT OUT WHEN I HERD METAL. I STRATED TO DIG AROUND THE SHAPE TURNED OUT TO BE ALMOST SQUARE SO AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES I FINALY POPED OUT A BOX WRAPED IN A CANVAS BAG AND THEN THE RUBBER TUBE THAT I ORIGANLY SAW. I SET IT DOWN AND CHECKED THE REST OF THE HOLE AND NOTHING . I STARTED TO REMOVE THE RUBBER AND IT WAS SO BRITAL AND MOSTLY FELL APART IN MY HANDS AND SOME IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. I GOT THE CANVAS WRAPED PACKAGE HOME AND WENT IN FED THE DOG AND PUT IT ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER AND STARTED TO OPEN TO MY FULL SUPRISE THERE WAS A METAL LUNCH BOX INSIDE. I PRIED IT OPEN AND THERE WAS MY FIRST EVER HORD

WHAT WS INSIDE WAS TO MY STONISMENT AND A DREAM COME TRUE. I WILL POST THE EXACT DETAILS OF WHAT WAS IN THE BOX IN THE MORNING. I KNOW THE BOX IS MARKED NUMBER 2 SO I WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE FIRST BOX OR TILL IS FULLY CLEAN THE YARS AND OUT AREA OF EVERYTHING I HAVE 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE HOUSE GOES AND THEY DO WHAT EVER WITH THE LAND GOD I HOPE ITS NOT ANOTHER STRIP MALL TO MANY OUT THERE NOW AND THERE NOT FULL.

Can you clarify for me, because we do things differently over here when construction is involved (mostly).
Does the construction company own the land?

I'm assuming so, which means you secured a great way of saving the possible caches.

Hope you find the one marked #1 and then some bigger #s. very odd set of dates. Almost seams that who ever buried it maybe passed on and didn`t want any one else to share his treasure. Really great find, get the rest. I think if you find #1 it will have the good stuff in it, or maybe I should say the best coins he had.

You took the wind out of the sails of yesterdays cashe.

 

[goldhungry]

Absolutly a nice find. I would hurry and get back there before anyone else does and find that number one.

 

[missionman]

Good to look for #1. I'm also thinking about # 3 and 4 and 5 and .............h.h.

 

[mobile miner]

PS. No walkers, no slq`s. strange huh. Get to work.

 

[cntrydncr1]

awesome!!! go get #1

Thats interesting how you recieved permission, if the crew is digging it up anyway. But what about the owner of the property? did you even do any research on who is on the deed? If its the govt? or a strip mall or something id say yeah, go for it, take the money and run. But if this is a persons land or privately owned then you really should do the right thing and inform the owner of what was found.
Dont get me wrong, its a great find. I really hope your effort paid off and you get to keep it, but you were not expecting to find that much. If I were you I would ask the construction foreman whats going in its place, if he says a burger king? then dont even mention what you found, but it wouldnt be fair to the land owner if its privately owned.

Wow, can we see the outside of the lunchbox? What type?
I had an old Beetles Yellow Submarine; I wish I still had it today.

Oh man!! Is that awesome

After reading your story I can hardly wait to get out hunting this morning

 

[ELVISFAN]

GREAT FIND LOOKS LIKE SOMEONES BEEN IN MY CLOSET...LOL

 

[DMN]

I'm with Moundbuilder. I think it's someone's coin collection. What a sweet find. Hope it's a legit to keep too! Not trying to spoil the find because that's one great recovery but I've often wondered if construction people can give OKs to detecing on land that may only be a place they are working on, not owning. Anyway, it's on hekuva a find!

 

[Rickiowa2009]

What a great find, enjoy your treasure!

 

[richm]

Fantastic find!!!! Not only might there be a number 1, maybe there's a number three! The person who buried these probably had a reference map so they could dig up a particular one if need be. I agree, a coin collection. There might be one with cash (paper money) considering the way it was wrapped, the person who hid them was trying to make them water tight. Keep us posted and show us the lunch box. I had a Bullwinkle one Rich.

 

[d2arcing]

sounds like this guy just wanted to post his coin collection, i am a gambler and i think it is a "lock" (guarantee) he posts about box 1 in a few days, but maybe not to make it look true

No construction company s are contracted out to work the land legally the owner has rights to the caches unless its agreed before hand

 

[BuckleBoy]

The most amazing thing about this find is the condition of those steel pennies. They will rust in a regular whitman coin folder in a damp room. I have dug some, and you wouldn't even know what they were, except that they were in with other wheaties in a pocket spill.

That's STONISHING.

 

[rogues71]

gratz on a great cach find hope you enjoy the feeling it doesnt come around to often. it never fails that some one will post negative comments about your finds because they havent come up with it first, any way good luck finding number one if it still is there.

 

[washingtonian]

Wow! Keep us updated and try and find that 1st box. Sounds like an awesome place to hunt

and.... (drumroll) ..... another reason to never post finds on the web. Especially when the value is this high.
