Hello all, I am 42 yo father of 5 retired military. I am looking for some advise from some experienced detectors. I own 100 acres on Keel Mountain in Alabama, there is a large 20' wide creek full of boulders and flat rock with several indented area's of calm back water. Also along the large flat rock wall there are deep carved caves, it was know to house Cherokee Indians way back. I have found three different caves right up from the river. I was reading a story this morning about the keel Mountain gold.....Google it you will be surprised, supposedly and logged in Lincolns Presidential personal log it talks of Union troops being ambushed at keel Mountain and they were bringing two large duffel bags filled with Gold Coins, after the fighting one Union troop tried dragging the coins up the mountain to hide them only to be shot in the back, the rebel troop took the coins and hid them himself to come back later and get them, however he died shortly after returning to Hazel Green (20 min car drive) but tried to tell the family where the coins were. I want to know the best detector to buy that can scan deep in dirt or water....Do they make one like that? There are so many area's of interest I'm sure we will stay busy for the summer. Also no one has been on this land in over 100 years the same family owned it, no wrappers, cans, cigarette packs....no signs of humans or garbage in the river, it is pristine. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I do not want to buy a cheap detector I want a good one. Thank you all for your help....God Bless Dan
