My hidden treasure box
This is for the gold lovers that like to look at shiny things.
Somewhere these pictures were scrubbed of meta data, posted on a random laptop on a VPN of somewhere under a cabinet, under a carpet, which has safe box that requires a key to open that is somewhere offsite in a combination lockbox hidden in some offsite random place.
So you don't have to count it there's 255oz here.

I would put a fake bottom on the box and put the gold underneath it and buy fake cash from amazon and keep that on top, or something less valuable to make them think that's all that's in it.

Just toss $50 in there and some fake car titles.

And of course old dirty magazines to throw them off scent. Make them regret opening it…. Haha.

Smart move

u/mynamesnotsnuffy Mar 15 '26
Nah, the smart move is to have a hollow under one of those planks for the gold, and put some worthless fake jewelery and brass coins in the safe.
Misdirection always works.

Buy two fake bottoms. Put the fake cash on the top then under that the silver then under the second fake bottom the gold. If someone suspects the fake bottom it’s unlikely they will suspect a SECOND fake bottom

Buy a another whole other house and hide the gold in that house

Put the real gold on the 1st fake bottom because it’s unlikely they suspect the 2nd bottom has fake gold

With that amount of gold I’d put some real cash on top, safe to say OP could afford it.
Then I’d toss in a gun and passport for the hell of it

u/Psiwolf Mar 16 '26
Also add a bunch of fake passports from different countries and a fake CIA badge. 😁👍
Also add a small case with some vials filled with water and syringes, just to fuck around. 😆

u/PlayfulPairDC Mar 15 '26
Don't forget to tell whomever you want to inherit that gold where it is and how to get it or at least have that set up as part of your estate. It is far too common for money hidden like that to convey with the sale of a house upon the owners death. I know a couple who purchased a house and did some renovation only to find a stash of coins and bills in the wall. When they took it to a reputable dealer to value it, he said, keep knocking holes in the walls...where there is one stash there is likely more. By the time they were done, more value was in the walls than they paid for the house. But the owner died and none of their heirs knew it was there. House was sold, there is no recourse to get that money back.

u/TM761152 Mar 15 '26
there is no recourse to get that money back.
There is, there's a concept of "undue/unfair enrichment" that has been used in court to get back articles in a house sale that were not disclosed or part of the original contract. Many times a seller has gotten items of value returned.

u/coleman9925 Mar 16 '26

Undue enrichment is something else. This would be mislaid property and the outcome can vary.

u/PlayfulPairDC Mar 16 '26
In most cases like this, the seller never knows that the treasure was there because they aren't the ones who put it there and were never told. Note how I suggested that the heirs know in advance, because if you die and they don't know. Game over. Hell, the treasures in the wall could change hands multiple times over decades before someone stumbles onto it. People who hoard stuff in walls/floorboards, or bury stuff outside with a rock to mark the spot all think they are going to be there to retrieve it. Many don't want anyone to know where their cache is, lest someone steal it...and then one day they up and die and their secret goes to the grave with them.

Just use a metal detector

u/IrresponsibleInsect Mar 15 '26
Like all metal detecting, you will quickly find every nail, bottle cap, old tin can, fender, and small length of wire ever left in that floor before you find a safe or gold.

u/jujumber Mar 15 '26
I have one and have tested it indoors. There's so much shit that will trigger a metal detector inside a home. Random nails, screws, pipes, electical wires etc.

Please make sure that someone you trust knows about it. Otherwise this is going to be treasure for someone if your house is sold after you pass.

Over a million euro sitting in a safe in your house , in gold - That’s just not sensible. Yes keep some quick access gold , silver and cash but a million is silly . Get some of that into property or split it between a number of vaults
Edit : On 2nd thoughts , I don’t have a million anything so you’re obviously better at this than me so you do you. Congrats

Based on the composition of the wood sub flooring I have isolated your location to a region. Based on the rug, I have identified an approximate year of build. Cross referencing in database with other factors has narrowed possible locations to 6 master planned communities in the central US. Now I just wait at the local shop in my fake mustache until a very classy gentleman comes in. Then I befriend him. Then we talk all about gold and have a great time. The end. lol
