Stories like these bring out the pirate in me
May have mentioned this one.. but my grandfather was set to hide all the rifles for the local shooting club and hunters in his village during ww2. He started greasing them up and wrapping them in with oil soaked clothing and rags. After he has done this and dug down about 50% of the rifles, he didn't had the time to complete the remaining half. So he just hung them up side down in the threes close to his cabin. This was done so that the men would have the chance to 'regroup' and take up the fight. For various reasons, the rifles stayed hidden until the end of the war. When he was set to recover them, only the rifles hung up in the threes where still usable. There is an natural updraft under large threes, so they where in remarkable good shape.. Some of the rifles dug down where recovered, but since they where all rusty, most of them is still there today. Today, I have inherited the cabin, it would be interesting to walk around there with a metal detector some day
..probably not ww2 weapons and not excactly diamonds or gold! Still it would be interesting to see what he dug down
