    I have been thinking about this, but haven't done anything yet. The least anyone can do is bury important papers for when the house burns down.

    Maybe a better idea would be to store them in a safe deposit box. Just sayin'.....

    I've set cache's but one thing I've done is seperate items to multiple cache's and certain metal items were grouped together and non metalic items seperate to foil the people with metal detectors snoopin where they don't belong. minimises loss.

    Another thing you can do is toss some pull tabs in the hole as you cover it up. Metal detectors are getting pretty sophisticated today but after digging up two or three pull tabs they might just give up.

    i don't know how effective it is, but i've read that it helps to burry things under fence posts, to confuse metal detectors.

    If you're burying a 55 gallon drum, make sure that there is either a lot of weight in it or that it is not in a low spot. A lot of folks in western Oklahoma were buying prefab storm shelters made out of some pretty heavy metal but a hard rain came and several of them popped up out of the ground.

    Very true. When water pressure builds up below, empty concrete swimming pools and caskets will pop tot he surface. I would think that the smaller surface area of a small barrel would make that less likely.
