Obviously he just misspelled the word, we all see it no real reason to bring that up. Actually,Ive seen a few people in this thread using Burry instead of Bury....Most people dont learn unless shown the correct way...Im not trying to insult anyone,just pointing the to the proper spelling! As to the OPs question,I would not Bury Any of my valuables...Ive seen too many stories of people forgetting where it was and other stories of someone else finding your stash!! |

The top of a drop ceiling works well. I hide some up their, as well as my wife's Christmas presents. Just don't put too many pounds on any one tile.

I think it would be difficult to dig and bury my stash at interval, time and time again, people may get the idea that I am trying to hid something of value!

Would a floor safe installed in the back lawn look suspicious?

If you were to install a small improvement in your backyard, say a tool shed, well head house, or greenhouse, you could pour a small concrete slab for a floor safe as part of your construction plans. I would not consider this option if your property doesn't have good drainage or there is a risk of seasonal flood. Keeping things dry is crucial for keeping your safe mechanically sound and your contents undamaged. Just a thought.

Hey Ed,
You think our silver would handle the humidity and constant runoff here in the PNW? Serious question. I know at a certain depth that temperature is in the 50's, regardless of latitude. But I'm not sure ground humidity works under similar principles.

I think a second SDB in another bank serve a better purpose, unless my stash grows exponentially. I would then convert majority of my silver to numismatic valuable, and hold some gold bullion.

Hide the "stuff" in plain sight!
Put the coins in an empty box of soap powder next to your washing machine.
Or just put it into your car and rest easier.
Just do not loose too much sleep over this dilemma.
You are selling the house, not burying a time capsule!

That's assuming you can do all the work yourself, of course. Otherwise, you'd have to worry about the contractor knowing you've got a floor safe out in your shed... |

Heres my input, I havent been arsed to read the whole post.
Dont bury your stuff, thats never a good idea. One thing I've seen on the web is hiding things in fake fittings.
Ohm and if you have a fireplace with a ledge behind the fire or a closed section, you can put stuff up there. (unless you have a cat, they love it back there).
And maybe set up a decoy. if you have the equipment necessary to silver plate something, then plate some other things. I have two 'copy' bars which are copper bullion plated with precious metal. The actual valuables are elsewhere, those are put on show. If a potential baddy comes and roughs up the place and robs you, they'll think they've found it all when they come up to the decoy.

silvercoinrn: there is a guy on a metal detector forum I lurk on who is wealthy enough that he purchases different types of the fractional gold eagles and burries them in parks back on the east coast. He has burried several in Central Park in New York City. He leave a little note in them with his phone number and email address so you can tell him if you found one of them.

You think our silver would handle the humidity and constant runoff here in the PNW? Serious question. Sure... if it's packed correctly. If / when I bury any part of my stash, it will be inside some 2" x 16" PVC plastic tubes with glued-on end caps. Tubing like this easily holds water in at 40-50 psi, so why wouldn't it keep water out at 1-2 psi? I would keep the coins / rounds inside round plastic coin collecting tubes inside the PVC. This should work well as long as I don't forget where I left them.  Quote:

Temp should not be a problem and a relatively constant temp should be best of all. The PVC should be very moisture resistant and a couple of desiccant bags inside the PVC tube should help eliminate any condensation problems. |
