10-4 on the Oop's. I think the false readings idea is a great one. Collecting cans as we write.
But truthfully, anyone who read my post and belongs to uncle scum, their gonna tear up the back yard with a fine tooth comb anyway...
False positives on the metal detector would be the only way to discourage em.......if they're "discouraged" at all. Most of those guys are tenacious and go till they can go no more (unless someting distracts em to move on).
Enough false positives and they'll get discouraged. All it takes is one good find and they will be hard to stop.
Easy solution is not bury them in YOUR yard. When mom and dad are on vacation bury something in theirs. Or find a secluded spot on public land and bury the cache tube only. See if it is undisturbed after about a month, and then fill it.
Now if your yard is over 25 acres or so, it could be safe to bury in it. If you have a buddy that owns a farm, see if you could bury it on his property.
