@jammin2marley LOL keep digging is right, you'd have to dig a hole every few feet for a couple of square acres.

Great idea with the drill bit...

The newer coils made for existing metal detectors can detect 2 feet and more with a precision that was not available 5 years ago. Might want to consider using metal shavings from a machine shop or coarse steel wool to create a "fuzzy layer" that shows up as "hot" but worthless. If you can find a source for magnetite or rotten iron, spread it about at the 4 to 9 inch level and even if they rescan, it should show up as junk metal and get ignored. Good luck.

very good video instuction and ideas. If any one can answer please do, but whats the solution to opening the screw top, which seems o be the best way, if you say had to buggout in a hurry and dont have the proper tools. What is the ultimate solution. Also, sealing what is the best thing to use that will not degrade the pvc and will not hinder in trying to open the cache in bad times. Thanks for responses. again great video and step by step instruction.

I think this is the best video on caches you can find on YouTube. Another option instead of using grease on the threads is using Vaseline, then you can leave a small tube taped to the inside of the plug to reseal it.

Great container. It's gonna leak, but good enough for the packaged contents you suggested. Though the metal detection avoidance part was pants on head retarded. It might confuse 70 year old Floridians looking for lost pocket change on the beach, but screws and drill bits signal totally different than 90 rounds of 7.62x39...

would it be OK to gently heat the tube before closing the lid so that when it cools the tube would be under a vacuum?

amazing idea. Very practical and no one thinks twice to look if it's partially exposed it just looks like water access or something in the event it does find away to expose itself.
Question: Why wouldn't I bury it in my back yard? Great video.

@jimmie200 You can bury it in your yard but anybody who thinks you might have burried something is going to check your yard first thing. It's alot harder to determine the location if you don't own the property. Thanks for watchikng

For missouriprepper - Thanks for the video.
Having read all the comments... in your opinion, would teflon tape work as well or better than grease to seal the threads?
Also, what is the longest amount of time that you have had a cache in the ground before checking and how well did it hold up?
Thanks again, I have several adventure/supply caches I intend to create.

@wardenatgs Teflon tape might work just as well I've never tried it. There is some stuff I've never checked on because of there location and because there are back up's in case there is a problem with those. Everything else I check on at least once a year I've never had a problem with any of these. There are some things that require batteries, the batteries are kept in the tube but not in the device the are to be used for and they get replaced every year when I check on things.

i like the nails idea and the logic with the depth of burial and adding the metal above it. great video. have you ever put tubes in hills or banks horizontal?

@kylew398 I've never put one in a bank or hill If your talking about a creek or river bank I would be worried about flooding and erosion uncovering the tube. As far as a hillside I never really thought about it.
