My Own Lost Cache

[runningafever]

Growing up as a kid in NH, I was an avid coin collector for my age. Christmas, birthdays, I would receive coins from relatives and I would search for them at flea markets and garage sales. Having been born with the hunt in my blood, and well aware of pirate lore, at the age of around 10 I decided it would be safest to bury my collection. I buried it in the front yard by the woodpile, and between some roots and left it. A while passes by and I decide to take a peek only to find that I am not able to locate them. I spent some time searching of course, and went back over the years that I was there to look again and again. I moved from that house in 1985, coin collection a timecapsule of my youth left behind. Maybe its been found or maybe it has become encapsulated in the roots??

I would bet your cache is still there today unless the new owners have down some major landscaping.


A friend and I did the same thing with toy cars, coins, cards and who knows what else we put in there. I know exactly where we buried it, but it was a vaca't lot back then and is someones back yard today. If they ever move out I'm going hunting for it (if my friend didn't dig it up behind my back! LOL)

Like many others here, I had a similar experience. I buried a large metal soda cracker tin with toys, etc. on a Michigan beach. One shovel length from a large sign's south post.

A year later - could not find it. It's much harder to go back and dig something up than many people who haven't tried to do it understand it to be.

Which, of course, is a major reason there's so much out there for all of us! These days, I'm thinking, paper money buried in sealed lengths of plastic pipe.

Good luck to all,
