The top of the quart jar is buried 6 inches deep. The jar contains silver and copper coins…The cap of the jar may not be there now….I am now doing maps and photo’s on my computer screen so I need some feedback as to if it is working or not…Sure saves money on ink….Art

thanks Art Unfortunately it looks like it's in the Neighbors Yard
Unless the Counties tax site Property lines are That far off.

I Will check Extra Close there at the Fence Line
this Spring

and that side if the neighbor is into it.

Just checked Property Records.
I Know the Neighbor also From
the 70's - 80's If he Remembers me I'm in.

Yea I Figured That.

If I remember right he said there was no Fence
around the yard back then.
It is Very Possable He buried it in the Neighbors Yard.

or that when the fence was put up
part of their yard ended up on the other side.

I Need spring Too
that area has more Potential then just the Cache.

Behind them is a 19th. Century Church Grove
in the woods. Thousands used to be Brought in by Train
for a Yearly Church Picnic.

2 Miles from my house & I Never walked in it
or Touched it.  tongue3

Hi Jeff 
  I live and hunt out in the Mohave Desert area. In order to save time, before I hunt I always map dowse. A good % of the time it leads me to productive targets .
  I printed the photo of your site and dowsed the map/photo for location to search . I agree with , aarthrj3811 , on the location indicated by the point of the white arrow.  It is where I would start .  Good luck    icon_thumleft  Extractor   

I'll just follow you with My E-trac ! ! ! !

Hello,

I'm a new map dowser but have had some success. I won't claim to be as experienced as the others who have posted here.

But I figure if your shooting blind, what are a few more areas to check...

These are the two areas that I recieved strong signals at. Pretty close to where I marked, kind of hard to do this way, usually I use bing maps or google and then grab gps coords before I go metal detecting a new researched area.

Wish you luck:)


Funny after checking that we all got different locs.  Blame that on new age progressive searching I guess.

The area on left should be (if up is North) just SW of the white blip. The area on right is in a straight horizontal line from the blip and slightly North of there.

Hey Monolyth…I think a little different about Map Dowsing…I do not expect us to all to have the same location. That seems to be how it works. Jeff now knows that the treasure is there. He can have the fun of pin pointing it…Art

I believe whatever you were picking up there (arrow) is still not dug.

I took time yesterday to map dowse the one map. Here is what I got. The red arrow is pointing to what seemed to be the best signal...marked by an X inside a circle.

All the plain Xs are good targets, either a single coin or relic. The two Xs boxed around or squared off...they are a couple good targets together, most likely coins.

The X with a question mark (top left) is possibly a non-metal target, most likely paper money.

I had been using a pendulum, but switching to a pair of dowsing rods...they stayed crossed over the area surrounded by pen lines. In that area, pendulum dowsed to mark an arrow pointing to $ sign. Probably is some kind of jewelry. Some clads are scattered around also. The X in a circle above the words "clad coins" is a good target. The X plus circle with a question mark seems to be antique, possibly a bottle.

The three circles close together, I put them there last...didn't take time to find out what they could be...

Hope this helps. icon_sunny
