[QUOTE="westnlas, post: 1522447, member: 28223"]Place the coins in a plastic coin tube we store stock in. Then you can enclose that in saran wrap or a sandwich bag. Get a piece of PVC pipe threaded on both ends and 2 pipe caps that fit. Put the wrapped coins in the pipe. Now bury this pretty deep, A couple of feet, at least. After you start filling the hole about 12" above the pipe toss in a bunch of scrap metal. Aluminum cans will work if you smash them tightly. 6" above that, do it again. Plant a thorny shrub like a rose bush at the top of the hole. Hopefully, the bush will mark the spot and deter really close inspection by unwanted visitors. Next the junk metal while pinging a metal detector might fool anyone who starts digging. The 2nd batch of metal should convince them they found a scrap pile. Last, you should mark the location and place that map in a safe deposit box that will be opened by your heirs after your demise. Be a shame to bury the Silver and have it lost forever. There are methods of placing booby traps to protect your stash, but that's going a bit overboard. IMHO[/QUOTE]
