Grabbed the wife and the digital camera for recording the big event! Had her record the unveiling of "King Tuts tomb II" frame by frame and got down to business! Dig and scratch, dig and scratch, carefull! Carefull! almost there! Almost there!

Loadroom,, I live only blocks away from you.... lets get together and find somethings

We could probably do that some time, you've got me nervous though since your looking for your "71 Olds 442"
In the winter of 1979 in McCall I had a head on collision with the same and I was driving my 1971 Pontiac Firebird! It's feeling a little twilight zonish! LOL, pm me and we'll swap contact info !

I can't believe what I am reading, this same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago! Only it wasn't at my house, but a co-worker who has their house for sale with an attached vacant lot. They gave me permission to hunt the lot-after about two hours I get the reading and start to dig-about 12 inches down I hit the top of the can-it was at a slight angle. At first I thought it was a pop can-but after some clearing I saw the word Folgers-I thoght I was going to have a heart attack. I thought to myself-there is no way this is down this deep by accident-it had to be buried here on purpose! I was so excited. I must have worked the hole for about 1/2 an hour-but all I had with me was a small hand shovel-tried prying it from the side with the shovel-it wouldn't budge. Boy, it must be filled with some goodies I thought. By this point my wrist was killing me and it was dark-so I decided to bury the hole and go home-come back tomorrow with a bigger shovel. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very good that night!! The next day right after work I went there with a big shovel and dug and dug and dug-finally was able to pull the can straight up-ugh!!!!! Needless to say you know the feeling I felt, what a bummer!!(not my exact words and thoughts at the time

). On the plus side I did find four wheat pennies at this lot & they were all dated 1919-all four of them-and they were all in different spots-I found this rather strange as well. Oh well, keep searching-the next one may be the big treasure!!
