About 40 years ago my father in law had a large amount of cash. He was partially disabled so had my daughter climb up into his attic and stash it. A couple of her cousins were present at the time. When he sent her up to retrieve it, it was gone. When more than one person knows something, it's no longer a secret.

The problem with loose lips is that they tend to belong to loved ones who don't have an appreciation for the risk associated with having a large cache at home. That's why I prefer a Depository. Yes, the amount they buy silver eagles for is less than what others are paying on eBay, but the peace of mind is priceless. And that brings to mind the fact that when the SHTF, getting any price online is liable to be a non issue. Of course, if that's the case, then you run the real risk of getting robbed on the way home from the Depository. Again, when the SHTF, getting ANYTHING shipped is liable to be a non starter (ie. Covid, when the whole world came to a stop). It's enough to keep someone needlessly worrying. Therefore, spreading it around at home and amongst different locations makes the most sense to me. JMHO

I have been robbed in the past. It was by someone who was in my house, and was jealous of my stuff. I have a home that is somewhat ordinary looking from the street, but it is nicely upgraded inside. It is filled with high-end art, furnishings, etc. Once this person was in my home, he learned of the nice things inside, and he decided it was worth the risk to steal it. It leaves a scar, to be a victim. It is very hard for me to want nice things in my home, as the envy from others puts honest people at risk. My point is this. $100,000 is very safe in your home if you do not tell anyone about it. Keep it out of sight. Do not advertise your wealth,. Oh, another thing, police can care less about helping a rich person reclaim their stolen items. The officer that I spoke with hated rich people, and said that anyone who can afford to own nice things, can afford to have them stolen.

I had a friend of mine about 10 years ago that was murdered along with his wife and stepson the wife survived long enough to tell the police who did it. They were slashed to death left to bleed to death on the floor of their own home. It all started when Bill started bragging about the amount of gold coins that he had in a safe in his office. He owned a house moving company and his employees knew that he had a lot of gold in that safe. One evening about 9:00 one of his employees paid him a visit told him he needed to discuss something with him that was very important. Bill invited him into his office the man pulled a knife told Bill to open the safe bill did not open the safe he was stabbed to death multiple times, that's when his son come walking in and he was also stabbed multiple times Bill's wife was upstairs had no idea what was going on but heard a noise and went downstairs and they cut her pretty badly and left her to die. Turns out there were four of them that targeted there place. They took the entire safe and drove about 30 miles away to a remote location. The safe was found the next day but there was nothing in it. Bill's wife survived long enough in the hospital to give the police the names of all four a robbed and took their life. I consider her a hero she held on just long enough and now all four of those men their former employees have been locked up and will remain locked up for life. Very very sad story. None of this would have had to happen if Bill would have kept his gold in a safety deposit box or some other means that wouldn't be just sitting there. A safe that is visible is about the worst place you can keep anything valuable. The safe tells the thief exactly where the valuables are and some are willing to go to any length to get it. My dad always said keep your money in the bank. I know now that he was correct or at least keep it somewhere where it's not visible.

Keep your money in the bank until your government decides to freeze your accounts and steal it all, like they recently did in Canada.

BTW: Be sure to protect you "SAFE" from fire by using a water buffer designed to boil off in the event of a fire. Water boils at 100 degrees C and anything inside of a safe protected by that fact of physics (including paper) should be fine. In many metal safes - this can be as simple as a 12-40 oz beverage can sized container of water with a wax plug sealing a small hole in the top of the can. When temperatures in the safe exceed the wax's melting point - the seal will disintegrate allowing the water to boil when it reaches 100C. The inside of the safe will remain at 100C as long as the can contains boiling water. In many fires - this will be long enough to protect the innards of the safe as the structure around it burns away. Paper kindles at 230 degrees C so keeping the safe at 100C by using boiling water as a "refrigerant" makes complete sense.

"Modify this to fit your situation". It worked amazingly for over ten years. However, the house was sold and it wasn't until last year that the friend's old memory clicked in to remind them that they had left that pipe full of their precious metals. They went back to ask the new owners if they could retrieve it only to find out that the place had been demolished and a parking lot was there now. No one knows what happened to the PVC pipe.

Good advice. I am more than average interested in safes and have done a lot of research into every aspect of what makes a safe safe. Sturdy ticks off most of the boxes of what a safe should be, at least if you are considering the price. If money is no option, look into Graffunder. A TL15 rating is also a good minimum level to be considered a true safe. Sturdy's are not TL-rated, but they would with no doubt pass the test if they tried. Sadly a lot of people are douped by boxstore "safes" with shiny paint and huge locking bolts, but in reality they only get a tin can with a strong looking door.

If you have that much you have a decent start. I personally had that much stashed in the 90’s.

My best friend had a contractor pour a 12x12 concrete slab in his backyard. Nothing notable to him, just a small job. Then he installed a Rubbermaid shed and cut a hole in the floor.

Thanks for you video; well done on this subject. Appreciate you stepping into this water. Security is both personal, common sense and situational. We pay a lot for gold, a few dollars spent and time planning how to protect it seems a responsibility. I agree with your comment about the first step of security, and in my opinion, the most important and it cost nothing .... Silence! Sharing what you have is just asking for the problems! Thanks!

The only issue is access. You can only get in it when the bank allows you to. The claims that you cannot store gold or cash in safety deposit boxes is not true. There is no federal law banning that, though a bank can make rules on what you are allowed to store in their vault.

I know telling “good guys” about your stashes is not a great idea, but having a note locked up somewhere with the stashes listed would not be a bad thing. One day you may up and croak and your family has to go on an Easter egg hunt of the century to hopefully find it all 🙂 In my grandfathers case, he got too old to remember where everything was as we were moving them to downsize homes. I was finding $100’s in old boots headed for the dump and 10oz silver bars and rounds up in the attic. Like to think we got it all but I have a feeling the new owners have a few free gifts stashed in the walls of that house….

The typical home security wireless camera runs on a very common frequency. I found that out when I had a reverse camera in my car, and wired it separately from the viewer/screen. With the camera off, and the viewer on, if I got within range of someone's wireless camera, I'd pick up that camera in the viewer. Even though its more work, hard wired security cameras are the way to go.

Add a separate upgraded insurance policy for fire and theft as well for your gold and silver.

If I'm going to use a vaulting service, it would be one offshore. Might as well get country diversification as well.

I've wanted to do this video. Glad you did it first. I'm off the hook. It is comforting to know that no matter what or when, you can see what's going on inside and outside the home. I'm the same way and get those push notifications - and while it does have its limitations, whether hardwired or wireless, cameras are certainly better than nothing. Dogs? Even better. I appreciate the common-sense approach to security rather than the neanderthal, knuckle-dragging "I'd pump him full of lead" type testosterone comments from people who have likely never been on the barrel side of a firearm yet alone trained correctly to prepare for such a situation.

The problem with glass break detection is over sensitivity. A storm with rain and winds could set it off. Any vibration like someone knocking on the window or bouncing a tennis ball off it sets off the alarm. So the window doesn't have to break to set off the alarm.

A good option is a floor safe. This is recessed under the flooring and done right it is very difficult to discern the access point from anywhere else on the floor.

Slap’s “Eleven Rules For Storing Gold & Silver At Home” 1) A safe advertises hidden valuables, but if you must use a safe, bolt it down and load it with VERY heavy weights. 2) Store some decoy/sacrificial coins/cheap jewelry in an easy-to-find location. Then hide the good stuff well. 3) Unless you use a safe, NEVER hide your stash in a bedroom or bedroom closet. 4) Same as #3, but insert “study” and “pantry”. 5) Forget hollowed-out books, fake soup cans, etc… your stack will be stolen in less than 5 minutes. 6) If using a desk, bookcase or shelf, make sure your hiding spot won’t be revealed if these are tipped over. Because they WILL be tipped over. 7) You WILL want frequent access to your stash (to add to it, look at it, or (god forbid) take from it)… don’t make access difficult (behind drywall, buried in the yard, need a sledgehammer to get to it, etc.). 8) Unless using a safe, the best spots are in plain sight and LIKELY TO BE OVERLOOKED, or they’re multi-layered (meaning you have to move this, shift that, lift this and open that in order to access your stash). 9) Make sure someone you trust (spouse, financial planner, estate attorney, etc) has a sealed “open in the event of my death” letter describing where your stash is hidden. 10) With the exception of #9 above, NEVER EVER talk about your stash or that it’s in your home. 11) Never use a hiding spot that can be discovered by a contractor doing work in your house or yard. KEEP IN MIND: The average home burglary in the US lasts just 11 minutes! Thieves want a quick hit-and-run.

If burying gold just off site (or anywhere for that matter), DO NOT: bring your cell phone or any other form of tracking device with you when you make deposits. Hell, don't even drive your vehicle there. And especially don't be seen by anyone or on any camera.

You just get a very thick safe and you bolt it to the floor in a good hiding space like under the stairs or in the wall or in corner of closet somewhere.

Creatively hiding $100,000 in gold coins (lets just say 50 coins) at a home is probably very easy for the average person who isn't broadcasting the fact that they have it. The problem is deciding if you want 50 separate creative locations, possibly forgetting about where they are later, and quickly retrieving them should the need arise to quickly abandon the house during an emergency evac.
