So at my last job, I did engineering/land development for cannabis farmers. Everyone I knew had a story about burying money and forgetting where it was buried and being unable to find it.
Also, lots of cash was recovered destroyed.
Now... One thing I will say about that is, it's harder to find a good spot than you'd think, and good spots are more predictable than you'd think. I've notice several such cash stashes. I worked with a guy that had an even better eye for it.

- ghaff 4y agoI assume that if you bury a box of any size, you disturb the ground quite a bit. You also probably don't bury it in a random open field but near some landmark you can easily locate.
- Enginerrrd 4y agoYeah pretty much exactly this. There are signs and landmarks. Trees, stumps, rocks, corners, etc. Sometimes people make a mark to make it more recoverable, like a notch in a tree, or a topped tree. Especially when a big part of my job is figuring out what the terrain and vegetation looked like before disturbance for restoration work. I can see 30-100+ years of history on a forested property just by looking around or occasionally reading old surveyors descriptions and stuff. Beyond that, after you've seen a few, you start to get an eye for the type of spot people like to choose. People are very bad random behavior generators.
