<p>[QUOTE="RGJohn777, post: 945944, member: 22102"]A fellow came to me within the past year with the remains of what he had buried "to hide it from my kids". I guess the kids grew up and went away or something so he dug it back up. The cash was rotted and I suggested that he send it to the gov't to be replaced if possible. Of course people who bury cash may not want Uncle Sam to know that and judging by the look on his face, he fell into that category. </p><p>The coins were mostly silver dollars and were in just plain awful condition. Some were even hard to distinguish as silver dollars. He wasn't too happy with my offer and declined it. I don't know the particulars of his burial technique but what I saw convinced me that burial is not the way to go. </p><p> Safes are safer. More secure and more accessible. And your goods remain good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
