I received an ad from Kellyco today teliing about amazing finds made by detectors. One was where postal authorities had a dectorist help recover money stolen by an employee. It said it was buried in cans and a piece of stove pipe in his yard nine feet deep. That sounds a little hard to believe.
 
Really, who is going to dig 9 feet down?

But, maybe they could twist the pipe and cut the dirt out till it got down 9 foot? The pipe could still be detected at the surface.
 
Several of the big detector makers have Two Coil detectors that can detect a coffee can many feet deep.
These are intended for large deep objects and do work.

However, Implying any detector can do this is false advertising.

A two-box system can detect large objects at depths but not small objects.
 
I liked the first one in the blog.

:"Detectorist, Edward Rowe Snow, visited an island near the shore of Nova Scotia in 1952. Here, he excavated eight Spanish doubloons from the 18th century. The treasure was found along with a skeleton, whose hand was still holding some of the doubloons. The doubloons may have come from a Spanish galleon that was seized in 1725 by pirates."

Cue the narrator:

Spanish doubloons? Here? In the hand of a pirate skeleton? Could it be part of Captain Kidd's treasure, believed to be buried here at Oak Island?
