I was contacted by the granddaughter who owns the 40 acres property shown below. Her and her siblings are planning on selling the property but before they do they would like a search made for buried valuables. Grandpa was known to have buried mason jars of coins and from what they recall he bought a new car every year. This was in the early 1950's. Old bank records over the years indicate there's more loot not accounted for.
They don't feel he had any vices to squander the money on. No one else knows about the grandpa except for some deceased family members who never searched the site as far as the grandchildren know. There was no one from the area or any family who appeared to come into sudden wealth. I explained that a search of this size can't be done overnight and will take some time to organize and execute. The location is in Michigan and about a 5 hr drive for me as I am in Detroit. The sister who lives nearby said the site has high weeds and the lower right in the pic is where the home, shed and barn were and the rest of the site is swampy but there was an apple trees area.
The family is planning on being in town Oct 11th or so and I'm hoping on meeting them along with whomever I can get to join me to metal detect the areas of interests dowsing reveals. If I can't get there I want to find some people who would be interested in helping them search and send the info with them. They are willing to compensate me for travel/motel so I don't think they would not help others who want to help especially if it's to speed up the search. If I make it I will also field dowse and follow up on any targets the dowsers here indicate. I usually dowse my own projects but with the timing on this one would like to see what your dowse reveals as this appears to be a one time opportunity. I am also photo dowsing the location. We will all have a share in any recovered treasure. I'm attempting to see if I can have more time to assemble a team of individuals to tackle the project correctly. It sounds like they don't mind if searches are done without them there but I want to see what dowsing reveals from the tnet dowsers, then proceed from there. North is up in the pic.
Thank you for your help.
