"No Cash" cache. . .

"No Cash" cache. . .

Well last night it was only going to get down to 50 degrees and Baldingboy had found another potential hotspot for us to go check out.

So I got my stuff together and when the wife got home from work I told her that Uncle Sam had called and needed me to go detect for mines in downtown Cape.

I called BB to make sure he was going to come and his wife said he was just finishing up his cucumber facial and he would be leaving soon. So I drove over to an area BB and I had hunted before waiting for him to get it together. The first signal I got was a nickel and then I got an interesting signal that really didn't read as trash or treasure so I dug it up and this is what I found in the hole

I about fell over when I looked down in the hole and saw what I thought was a cannon ball looking up at me the minute I touched it though I knew it wasn't a cannonball.

So anyway BB showed up and we headed to the place he found. We scared the stuff out of a woman and her two pre-teen children when they drove up and saw two demensionally challenged guys digging holes in their yard. (They rent an apartment from the home owner). After we calmed them down and BB was done trying to get the ladies phone number we went back to detecting. About that time the person BB got permission to hunt from came home and told us we were hunting in the wrong place. We went around the side of the house and they showed us where the good stuff probably was. I was detecting and I head BB say hey something is wrong with my XLT it is making a funny sound. I explained to him that that meant it had found something and maybe he should dig it and he pulled a really nice 1896 Indian Head penny!

Just then my machine went off and I looked at the meter and it was in the zinc penny range. So I dug down 4 inche and found a canning jar lid. I filled the hole back in and stood up to move away and the detector went off again. So I opened the hole back up and found 5 tokens!!!! They were all under the lid. I didn't find any glass so I am not sure how they got under the lid like they were.

I hunted a while longer and found some more junk a base for a lightbulb that has some wierd attachemnt on it I have never seen before and some kind of winding of copper wire. That one drove me nuts for about 10 minutes because I found one strand of wire and the Beast kept saying it was 2 inches deep but it was so fine and it was laying on top of the ground. I tried to find it and finally after digging a rather large hole found the wire lying on top of the ground just to the left of the hole. Gave it a tug and it was still attached to this mess.

I don't know how many coins/items it takes to make a cache but it was a neat hunt and it was a lot of fun. Too bad the weather is about to change and make it impossible to keep hunting. Maybe I need to move to Florida?

Re: "No Cash" cache. . .

Yea, all my finds are "no cash value" too

I can't believe how much stuff you guys can dig up in a short hunt, and IN THE DARK TOO.

Great story telling

Life is about enjoying life. Sounds like you do.

Sorry that it was not a cannonball, but it was good practice for the one you will find in Cape.

OK.......actually, when ME22 called me, I couldn't hear anything but a loud humming. He was at the beautician under the dryer trying to get ready for the nights hunt. I told him that he would still be ugly (no matter what) and he agreed to leave and meet me at a site we had previously hunted. I showed up and he is holding this thing that looks like a cannonball and asks me if I know what this is. I tell him that it reminds me of how the fire hydrant he ran over with his car looked like when he pulled the car off of it. He makes a very LOUD buzzer sound and says "FALSE, it looks like a cannonball." I play along and he reveals that it is the top to a fence pole. I put on my amazed face and he seemed to calm down. We headed off to the site we are going to hunt.

Arriving at the site, Mastereagle spent a good hour beside the Air Conditioning Unit next to the house pulling copper wire from the core. He would pull out a piece and say, golly.....where is that penny? I would just tell him it was under that fan. In the end, I think he thought it was a pretty good joke.

Mastereagle talked to me all night long while I was detecting with my head phones on. All I heard all night was "I am gonna" and "blah blah".....the word "gun" and "crispy creme donuts". Sometimes it is better to smile and nod. Well.....anyway; other than the tokens I planted for Mastereagle to find, here is what I left there with:





It was a beautiful Indian Head Penny and a great night to be out, but don't make the mistake of believing Mastereagle when he relates his story. Gotta run, I have a hot date with the girl I met on the hunt.

Re: "No Cash" cache. . .

Sounds like you all had a good time, Congrats...
What did the cannon ball thingy turn out to be, a cap to a fence post?, I can't tell from the pic...
Sweet looking IH,
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~

 

[mastereagle22]

Re: "No Cash" cache. . .

Yeah the top of a fence post, it was laying in the bottom of the hole when I pulled the plug out!

The humming and buzzing you heard was that cheap crappy phone you carry that loses it signal every time you go under an overpass, drive through an area with thick trees or heck even when the wind blows.

Any one that knows anything knows that the copper stuff is from a motor winding and not an AC coil. But I forgot------ you don't know anything!!!
And the copper from an AC unit is worth a lot more than the junky old clad pennies you found that night!

Dude I am just worried about you, you really should stay away from those Crispy Cremes!

And if I ever find you planting anything for me to find the only thing that will need planting will be your stinky corpse!

See I don't think he found that IH it is too nice! I think he brought it in his pocket. No wait he brought it in his wallet, that was where it was when he showed it to me.

And as far as your "date" goes, don't worry the restraining order she took out against you probably won't affect your job. Besides one other thing have you ever seen the T.V. Show cheaters? I wouldn't try to make that date if I were you........

Re: "No Cash" cache. . .

No you dolt. I smell a setup between your wife and the woman who gave you her phone number. Why else would she possibly give YOU her phone number Oh BTW you might want to check the number she gave you because I don't think 911 is her real phone number!

I am just watching out for my best friend. I have never been attracted to another man but I can promise you that if I EVER am it would have to be someone way better looking and way nicer than you.
