When I was in Boonville FD, we had an early AM structure fire and I was one of the first to arrive. Old farm house, it was rocking...elderly gentleman standing in his boxers and t shirt in front yard. Told me PLEASE go in and get his overalls hanging on his bedpost. He was crying at this point. So as soon as first in engine got there, I slapped on an air pack, other buddy took an 1 3/4 in the front door and we went for the overalls. I found them, followed hose back out, tossed them at the elderly feller, and went back in... after pack was dinging, and I came back out...fire was out.... He had $15,000 case hidden in that pair of overalls. Tried to give us $500 each for getting it. Didn't take it of course.
We have creeks on several properties. I’ve always wondered about diverting it temporarily, burying stuff under the creek bed, then restore the natural flow. Seems that within a few days it’d be almost impossible to identify the location even though the water is only a foot deep. Thoughts?
Seems a lot easier than burying it on the bottom of the lake in 20’ of water and more secure than just putting a weighted box in the lake.
If you never expect to be targeted, burying something in the crawl space or under the insulation in the attic would likely be sufficient...they won’t be randomly digging under houses or ripping out insulation. If you’re concerned, bury them in the liberal neighbors crawl when they are on vacation.
does "concealment" include....
1. hiding in plain sight? example: a key on the counter-top. but what lock does it open?
2. overwhelming the "signal field"? ex: LOTS of keys on the counter. all look the same.
3. having the key off site? ex: the key is on the counter at my mother's house.

During the Klinton regime, a friend buried multiple stashes of ammo and weapons in his yard, then used a farm tractor spreader to cover the yard with 400lbs of 1/4" washers to annoy metal detectors.

Submersion is the most time, prep and labor extensive but the most secure as its harder to get to. Most will forget to check underwater. We've sunk rubber boats under piers during infiltration and later recovered them for exfil. Cache must be secured in that instance for tides, waves and currents too.
