In these troubling economic times, people are more worried about keeping their valuables safe from burglars or other threats. It's good to have a stash of money stored away in case of emergency or to use on a rainy day. You can spend hundreds of dollars on a safe that can be cracked by thieves, or you can find less-expensive, just as effective ways to bury your cash and other valuables, like burying them underground.

Step 2
Seal the tube with the threaded end caps using epoxy, extreme pressure wheel bearing grease or another adhesive.
Step 3
Dig a hole near your house to bury your tube. Dig the hole so it is at least a foot deep. Place a rock or other object over your buried object so you know where to find it in the future.
Tip
It's a good idea to make stash tubes with PVC pipe since it won't corrode underground. If you decide to make your stash out of metal or buy a metal case, bury it near metal fence posts so it can't be found by metal detectors.
