There isn't much point replaying the sequence to gain stash coordinates. Read this with specific attention to the "Survivor" section Xray PDA Skills module.

The actual stashes in question (this page and the one where Seriy has to be dead have the following code:

[gar_field_cache] target = 6119 name = gar_field_cache_name description = gar_field_cache_descr items = mutant_dog_tail,1,detector_simple,1,mineral_water,2 condlist = {=actor_on_level(la02_garbage)} 10 community = bandit,stalker,dolg

[gar_small_hangar_cache] target = 6121 name = gar_small_hangar_cache_name description = gar_small_hangar_cache_descr items = wpn_mp5,wpn_addon_scope,1,medkit,1,mineral_water,1 condlist = {=actor_on_level(la02_garbage) =is_dead_one(6109)} 10 community = stalker,dolg

As you can see, there is a 0.1 probability respectively of getting the coords (and for the second one Seriy MUST be dead)

You have to multiply this by the 0.08 base value if you have no skill points padding "survivor" - or 0.3 if you have 10 points assigned...

It's still a mighty small number...

One strategy is to complete the mission, make a hard save, AND THEN 'interview bodies' for coords. If nothing comes up - reload the hard save. No need to replay the sequence endlessly. Applies to all stash coords.
