.....thus concluded that all such tales are false and only simple minded dummies would ever fall for one of them. It is called projection, I think........
Yes. After 40 yrs. of detecting, and considering this, hearing all the tales, and as you recall, chasing a few: Yes I "project" that learned-skepticism on all new ones I hear. Hey, it's a skepticism born of hard knocks, logical thought process, etc.... So yup, I "project" now
..... Would it take 1000s of men to transport this in the bush etc etc. Would that lead to more than a handful of men?.........
And have you ever noticed too, that all these caches are .... of necessity, said to be sssuuuuppper deep ? Eg.: "3 to 6 meters" etc.... (10 to 20 ft.). Sheesk, have you ever dug a hole 10 to 20 ft. deep by hand ? Try that next time you're at the beach (where sand is easy to dig mind you).
Then ask yourself: "Wait a second ? What difference would 1 ft. versus 10 ft. versus 20 ft. make ? If the top is covered up, invisible from view on top by passerbys, then why does anyone back then need to necessarily bury it "10 to 20 ft. deep" ? I mean, seriously now. And didn't they intend to come back and retrieve it some day ? Then why make it so much harder on themselves?
Yet you'll notice that these caches, from story to story, are always estimated to be these insane depths.
