Burying A Coin

Use an airtite ;-)

Several nice stories of coin 'deposits' and 'withdrawals'.


Around six years ago they replaced thousands of sidewalk slabs in my city and I wish now that I had my detector (and free time) back then.
When I did buy my metal detector three years ago, I checked out my own back yard and found a gorgeous 1941 Mercury dime, along with several junky looking clad coins; nothing else was dated older than 1970.

I never buried coins myself, but somewhere around 1999-2000 I had to replace the rotten walls in a corner of my detached garage (it was under a bad valley of the roof). While doing this, I had taken Polaroid pictures of how bad it was (and took 'after' pics later), and I decided to leave a photo in the inside wall. I ended up wrapping a $1 bill around the picture and then sandwiched it between two wall studs. Right now you can still see a small fraction of the edge of the photo between the 2x4s, but not the thinner dollar bill. The only way the bill will ever be seen again is if the garage is ever knocked done and the nailed studs are separated for some reason.
