There are more hordes and caches out there than most people realize.

Since monetary systems began, there has been a reason to hide hordes and caches of valuables.

And even when people are hiding a horde or cache, they can be a little predictable.

I have hunted old home sites and hunted inside old homes. there is always something hidden. When looking for hidden treasures, it makes it easier if you try to think.........normally.

All of the hidden hordes and caches have been hidden by normal people. Just normal people that have were living in a different time.

It is popular in todays times to hide money and jewels in a bank, or a safe in our homes.

In days gone be there were not banks or hidden wall safes like we have today. So ingenuity was the guide.

Some always popular hiding places not so long ago were behind bricks and stones in the basement walls, buried at the corner of a buildings, even inside hollowed trees.

In the early twentieth century, my grandparents would use pipe banks to hide things. This was a simple pipe filled with loot, plugged in both ends and hammered in the ground.

I found one of these pipe banks one time. Let me tell you that cash does not fare well, but coins and jewelry are just fine.

When hunting an old home site or camp, just think of where you might hide things, and that may be where you find them. It's sometimes just that simple.
