old coin

The fur traders buried their goods all the time. I even heard of some guys building a camp fire over their stash back in the day. Then a guy drowns in the rapids, becomes a pile of bear dung, etc.
They exist. An old dairy-man told of the silver coins he seperated out and hid while he was on his death bed. The family then found it. 20 years worth of silver coins from his milk deliveries in gallon jugs in a stone wall.
They exist, most of the large ones are myths, legends, or wishful thinking but many do exist. A lot of people did not trust banks and buried their money,.......
I'd imagine the most common cache in the USA could be from the people that didn't trust the banks and from the people just planting money for fun.
Looking back, did any of you ever bury money as a kid just for fun?
