James:
Before discussing the dig, thought I'd share with you (all) map sources for the area. The ones that use satelites, we'd want ground radar (penetrating) and perhaps infra-red to get a better fix on the 2 "studebakers." Here's what I received today:

yes if did.
The studebakers will not be buried deep, certainly not at a water table level. Afterall, after the Hoover dam was built that area was no longer flushed and dried out.
If we dug down and hit one, best think is to mark it and get a GPS fix on it.
Next step is to contact some folks with back houghs
