Is it possible to find land owned by someone and the only information you have is their name and the province?
It must be public record but how would I go about it?

Your line of query reeks a bit of stalking. If so I will help you out.

LoL no it's about buried cash where the landowner died of an overdose and I could easily spend a summer digging holes. Is 30 acres a lot of land to search?

Not for somebody with no other purpose in life.

In years past I did deed research for many people.
Where the government keeps deed records for the region would be the first step. Some gov entities restrict access to that info for many reasons.
Thirty acres is a lot of land to dig up. Sixteen hundred feet by 1900 feet is bigger than it sounds.

What’s their name and what province? I have contacts in this administrative field and can help.

Are you trying to beat nomore to the buried cash?

Land deeds sounds like a good start.
I imagine it was buried in some container that would have some metal on it so I'll be using a metal detector. Even a gym bag has a metal zipper so I'm confident I'll find it. Then using a grid pattern I'll systematically search the 30 acres.
If that doesn't work I will have to drill down every square foot until I hit it which seems like a daunting task😞

Lmao oh ya? I would happily share it if I had some help but alas I don't know you or anyone willing to work a few months straight trying to find it.

Are you prepared for being arrested or shot for trespassing?

Not if you're a backhoe.
