<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2165563, member: 73555&quot;]I used to save the junk I detected, and had a belt bag to hold it.&nbsp; Coins or valuables went in the toe of my boots, or in the contents of my Army canteen (which I never drank from, by the way).&nbsp; Anyone &quot;messing&quot; with me, I could empty out the belt bag, and &quot;See?&nbsp; I found nothing, you&#039;re welcome to it...&quot;&nbsp; I also carried a little ketchup squeeze bottle full of flour, useful for marking places you&#039;ve been, and making arrows to help you navigate the next day.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also had cards made to give to cops, I&#039;d offer to help them search a crime scene, free of charge.&nbsp; None ever took me up on that offer, but I&#039;m sure it lowered their &quot;suspicion&quot; level.</p><p><br /></p><p>Favorite hiding places for farmers and homesteaders tended to be places of high traffic, like inside the barn, halfway between the house and the outhouse, under the front path, etc., where they could get in and out in a hurry, and the traffic covered up evidence of digging or soil movement.&nbsp; Another favorite spot, cut off a fence post so it only stuck about 6 inches below ground level, and stuff a &quot;poke&quot; at the bottom of the hole.&nbsp; The fence materials would hold the shortened post upright, looked perfectly normal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
