Cache Hunting Using A Metal Detector
Cache hunting while using a metal detector is a great hobby. If you have a dream of locating a treasure, you can follow that dream. All you need is a reliable metal detector, and the desire to search for treasure.
Buried caches large and small exist everywhere. There are more caches than you think there may be. They may be hidden with in a few miles, or few blocks from where you live.
People have always buried their personal possessions. Perhaps they buried a treasure to hide from the enemy, this country, America, had to defend itself from the British during the French & Indian War, and the Revolutionary War. Many people buried a cache during the Civil War for the same reason, the fear of the enemy taking their possessions.
Many people distrusted financial institutions like banks, even to this day. Therefore they buried their money, and people are still doing this.
Some people buried their cache to hide from their spouse and family members. It sounds selfish, but it happens.
Many times the treasures were never recovered. They have been left behind due to deaths of the person doing the burying. In many cases the family members never knew of a cache being buried on their property. So what happens when everyone in the family dies, or moves away? Obviously, the treasure stays behind. And many times, these hidden treasures are located by either someone searching for a treasure, or an unsuspecting person. For instance.
There are times when home owners who are remodeling have found valuables hidden behind walls, ceilings, and under floorboards. In their yards, home owners have found caches buried in what used to be gardens, or near large old trees. The garden used to be, and still is a popular burying site for treasures. Old trees were often used as a marker for the buried treasure.
To find out where the buried caches may be hiding, read old newspapers. These can be found at your local historical society. Sometimes they make reference to a buried treasure. Read old books that tell the history of your area. Talk with the “old timers” of your town. They are a great source of information.
If you are going to search for a cache, having a metal detector is a must. Except of course if you are searching inside old homes.
If you do not own a metal detector, but you are thinking of purchasing one, don’t spend thousands of dollars on a model that has all of the bells and whistles on it. Too many times new detector users get confused with all of the high tech gadgetry on the newer models. This only confuses the learning curve of how the detector works.
All you need to spend is $300-$400 for a metal detector. Used models can be bought for $150. If you read the owners manual that comes with the detector, and you practice using it, you will become more than experienced to search for a cache.
The best places to search for a buried treasure is around older homes, or farms. If you see an old home that has been abandoned, find out who the owner is and then ask for permission to search around the property.
As I mentioned earlier, search the garden areas, and around any old trees. Also search around any old fence posts. Often times the farmers would bury a small cache beneath a fence post. They would simply pull out the post, bury the valuable, and then replace the post. Search around the outhouses, or privy. These were used many times as a hiding place for money.
Another good area is to search around old barns. A good hiding space in a barn used to be beneath the floor boards.
Cache hunting is a lot of fun. You can locate them. All you need is a metal detector, and the desire to search for them.

Sehnsucht $9.78 There’s not a big precedent for German bands succeeding in the United States, the ’80s bombast-rock of the Scorpions notwithstanding.
