Not one coin ! Unless there are some in the locked box I found ! UPDATE !

MaineRelic · Jan 9, 2011

January 9th and I can still get out ! Most of the 6 inches of snow we had has melted and tempertures were a balmy 38 today ! I am very limited to where I can dig as only the south slopes covered with leaves or heavy matted grass are not frozen solid. I hunted the south facing slope of another costal stream . There was an old buggy trail that followed the stream. I walked and detected this trail where it was not frozen. The signals were scattered yet fairly steady . I don;t ever remember finding 4 harmonica reeds on a single hunt and yet not find a single coin. Unless there are some in the hand made wooden box I found hidden or lost just under the leaves at the base of a big oak . I have not opened it yet ! It looks like a school carpentry project. My wife is dying to see what is inside . Any guesses ?? It makes very little noise when shaken so I am guessing paper . I just hope it is green paper !! Thanks for looking !! MaineRelic. I waited till after the football game was over to open the box. I had the drill all ready. It took all of 10 seconds with my wife waiting impatiently ! A little bit of tobacco is all that was in the box . Not wacky tobacco just plain rolling tobacco . Next time

I must be the only one liking the axe head!

Oh, and open the box already! A cordless drill will make short work of it. :thumbsup:

At first I thought geo cache. But people who look for it would need a key to open to take something out. So, unless there's some way to pass the key around, I'd guess it isn't one.

Come on! Open it up!!

I think you should open the box and then tell me what the %7@3 is this Nice Dig's!!!

It looks like the part of a lock for a Dutch Door. The upper part of the door opens and the lower stays closed. I have one on my kitchen door and I live in an 1790's house. :thumbsup:

I'd give it a sniff test before opening it around kiddies.

Ive been to locked geocaches, the key is the first part of the hunt, then the cach, then you have to return the key.

some poor little kids life savings? maybe a time capsule that didn't get buried?
