Story time: while digging a hole for a cute ponytail palm my wife an I were planting. We found this coffee can. Wore some gloves because I figured it was someone’s pet. It was wrapped in 10 plastic grocery bags, which set off alarm bells. Had the sheriff come an pick it up. They ran the address and said it’s most likely tied to a homocide a previous resident was convicted of. A week or two later while chatting with my lawn guy(he worked for the previous owners) and he says the previous guy was always digging in the back yard. Borrowing a friends metal detector this weekend. Wish me luck!
Mini update:
Wife googled names of peoples mail that still gets sent here and pretty confident she found the guy.
Edit: removed link due to not being 100% that the person is the one responsible
2nd mini update: Wow this blew up! I will update this weekend if I find anything or not. If I do I’ll start a new post. To answer some questions. It was just the gun and a empty magazine. Gloves were on the entire time. I haven’t heard any new info from the sheriff. They photographed the entire area, and took everything related.
