It's like an episode of grumpy old men. Hey sparrow. Congratulations on getting your post count up so high so quickly. Just wondering, who is The Brother?
Sorry for the delay boys...well atleast my work today should secure another couple of PAMP 15kg cases What were we talking about again?
Call me old fashioned, but i fail to see why some people make posts like this. Would you like a badge? A plaque? Golfer's clap?
Bad day mate? there is a whole 49-page thread devote to such posts called "Today I bought" Do you whinge and moan there everytime someone buys some silver? remind me again, is this a forum about BUYING SILVER? oh thats right it is too! and guess what...Im buying silver! :lol: PS: Heres food for thought for those who have considered hiding your stack in the sea: Lowest tide for 8 years apparently. Normally this is about 6m underwater.
jelliott41, As I can judge you are well versed in construction side of the real estate business. Could you give some more of your expertise? I am concerned with the inevitable shrinkage of the soil after I refilled the pit with my PM. I will try to tamp each layer very often for sure. But with a 7 feet pit some noticeable shrinkage is unavoidable. This pit will be sticking out from the background like a sore thumb. I've got an idea how to solve this problem. About 6-8 inches just before I finished filling in the dig I am going widen the pit by about 10 inches on all four sides of it and to cover with a slab made from a non-metal composite, to prevent metal detecting. Then I will finish with a shallow layer of the soil masking the place. This slab will keep the flat surface even when the soil under it shrinks considerably. From my own kind of rusty construction experience this slab could be made of glass-concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, fiber-plastic etc. If you are familiar with the Australian construction materials market what would you suggest this slab to be made from? It should be available in a store or could be ordered somewhere. Everybody is welcome to pitch in. Thanks.
probably cheaper to sell your stash in australia then buy some in switzerland and get a bank vault there or in some other country that prides itself on having banks that are untouchable by government agents
Ah - you figured out one of the reasons why burying on land you don't control is a bad idea In all seriousness though, use the recommended post hole method - if you're burying enough metal to make flying out to Australia and buying land feasible, buy yourself a digger. Then you can distribute your stash across several spots on the one property - so in the unfortunate event of it being compromised, you only loose a third or quarter of your stash etc.
I doubt it will be cheaper. You lose selling and buying. But it is not that important. It will leave a trail of fund transfer which at this point is undesirable. Let aside the taxes issue. It will be treated by the beloved Brother as a sell in one country and a buy in another. It will not have the benefits of a like-kind exchange and CONSIDERABLE taxes will be expected. I had just made a mistake of doing this in Australia in a first place. I failed to think it through the stage of the collapse of the banksters cabal. I have been kind of bragging. I am not smart at all.
A post hole digger is not a problem. I am not sure it can dig dip enough. I have not had any experience with it. No, as a foreigner I cannot buy land easily in Australia. Unless I get married which is problematic considering the demographic disbalance in Australia. I have never said it is the best idea. But considering my particular hand with which I have to play it is not the worst idea. I just have to think it through and solve this kind of small snags.
I am not sure I know what exactly this entails. But anyway I am not yet ready to move away now when taxes will be due. So this has to be done without selling.
Judging from the additional points for a female member of family of a prospective immigrant you have too much boys. I would guess it has something to do with a lot of immigrants which are predominantly males.
An good post hole digger requires 2 people to operate, or you'll need to buy a tractor and a post hole digger attachment
