Agree. While it's a cool story to tell your grandchildren, burying medals (of course, not on your own property) would be much faster solution.

- harveywi 10y agoI believe a there is a plot line in Pulp Fiction that touches on a solution satisfying both constraints.
- edblarney 10y agoIf he had hidden it, and it was never recovered, then it would be like a really cool 'Copenhagen mystery' - the 'lost Nobel Prize'. They could have a little festival every year to look for it ...
- pavel_lishin 10y agoThe Nobel Prize medal appears to be about 2.5 inches wide, which would make it immensely unsatisfying in at least one constraint.
- nilved 10y agoYou'd need to start with smaller medal first.
- Practicality 10y agoIs there some method of digging holes that I am not aware of that doesn't make it obvious there is a freshly dug hole? I mean, that spot in your neighbors yard that looks freshly dug would probably be a good place to look. (They were occupying the whole country)
- crpatino 10y agoIf you want a digging to go unnoticed, you don't try to conceal the digging; you dig in a place where lots of other mundane diggings are already happening. So, not going out in the middle of the night in ninja swit; but chearful gardening in the Church's front yard instead. You can even put a heavy, thorny bush on top, so people will be too lazy to undig it by accident.
- crpatino 10y agoI had missed the point about Nazis already going parading on the street. In that case, indoors methods of dealing with the medals provide a big advantage. I'd probably have tried to melt them, though.
