Had a friend pass away a few years back. He was one of those the end is near survival people, with guns, ammo, dried food and silver buried for the post apocalyptic period. Well sad for him, he died before the world ended, good for the rest of us.
I knew he had a stash near his deer stand on one of my farms. Not exactly where he had it but he said he could keep an eye on it so I figured line of sight from his stand.
His widow asked if Ed told me where his stuff was buried? I explained he never did, but I thought I might be able to find one stash. It took me several tries but in the end I found his stash by the deer stand. In it he had a couple detailed descriptions of other locations. In the ammo stash he had 250,000 .22 bullets, nine 50 caliber ammo cans filled with 30 cal surplus ammo and several large 20mm ammo cans filled with various different pistol and rifle ammo and shot shells. It was a full truck load. Over about a year I think we found everything but I’ll never know for sure. We did find all his guns for certain.
I gave everything to his widow. It was hers. She tried to give me the ammo but I declined. In the end her son sold everything at a local gun show. His method was simple he used decent asking prices and discount pricing for volume. When others were pricing a brick of .22 at $80.00 he sold his for $65. 00/ brick, 2/120, 4/200. Sold everything in a single weekend. He even sold the dried food and other crap we found.
