Maybe it's on an old Indian burial ground. Don't put in a pool.sounds a lot more interesting than my house. 20 years ago i had it built in an up and coming neighborhood and i'm pretty sure i'm just on top of old trees and so forth. if renting the detector wasn't too bad for a day it could be fun just to scan things over and see if anything even sets it off. it should also be able to tell you how deep it is to see if you want to mess with digging it up.I've thought about renting one--not real seriously though. My yard might not be much, but it would be a damned sight worse if it were full of holes. And I can't really tell where the foundations were. My mom said during a really dry summer, you would see where the outline of the old building was, but I could never make it out. Further forward than our house, is all I know. It might explain the enormous boulder that is built into the front corner of our cellar, though. I have no idea why you would choose to put your house in a place where you would have to make extra work for yourself in one corner. There was plenty of room to move it back twenty feet or whatever. Strange. My guess is it had something to do with the original building, but I have no idea what.you ever just get a metal detector out and look around? it should be able to go around that deep. wow - i just looked and to go to that depth you need a pro version and they run $2500. maybe see if someone rents them. but the consumer ones i know i could afford simply won't go that deep. more like 6" give or take.Digging holes for a couple of rose bushes in my front yard, at about 20 inches I came to charred wood and broken glass. My mother told me that there had been a store on the property in the early 1800's that burned. I have often wondered if I kept digging around if I would find colonial coins, other cool stuff. I never have dug up my front yard, though.Why would anyone go through all the trouble to dig up an island to find s couple of buttons?I imagine they are making enough money off the series to keep them going...anyhow it is an intriguing mystery.
Why would someone go to all the trouble of designing something like that if there was no hidden treasure. I doubt it will ever be found....probably washed out to sea due to all the drilling operations.
I think there very well could be a link to the Knights Templar group based on some of the artifacts they have found. They need more guys with metal detectors....digging holes is not getting them anywhere.
