I gave in for now .
OK I got paranoid about my stash in the home .
Got so I'd take it to work (in truck) take it on vacation

I had to except that was a disaster in the making .So now it's in a bank vault for $40 per year
takes 2 keys to open . I have to make a will out or if i die it will be considered abandoned property
So any thing I should know about
Like if the SHTF can I get into the bank ?
If I keep buying silver as I am where the heck can you keep it
safe .

I know the bank workers are already thinking :) whats up cause they are the ones to slide box out
and it's heaver than they expect .

A heavy duty HOME safe...not the kind you can pick up and walk away with under your arm.

The 500 lb, bolted to the floor, you must use an arc torch to get inside, kind.

And then NEVER tell anyone what you are keeping at home.

There's always me who can take ownership of your stack if no names come to your mind while writing out the will. Just put my name "Miss Ing Link" :)

IMO they're really only good for keeping documents fireproof.
 
the problem is that safes become a target. If people know you have one your more likely to get broken in to. if you get broken in to and they see out they might come back for it.

hiding your stack is best if your concerned about the bank, of you can safely secure and hide your safe that's better, like really hide it. Just don't have it in the corner of a room where people walking through the house can see it.

if you can build a safe into a wall or into a cupboard or even bury it where someone won't look.

Obscurity is the best security, the safe is just a nice wrapper to hold a thief up for ten or twenty minutes or keep a fire out.

that's the other problem, if people know you have PMs and aren't worried about burning cash they could use thermite lances to get into a 2 ton safe in a worryingly short period of time.

Also, thieves will need to read the occupational health and safety standards before commencing, alternatively you have a safety data sheet and evac plan located near the safe.

Make sure your home insurance is up-to-date in case any thief happens to get "Fume-Gas-Poisoning' or splatter burn injuries from molten metal; you don't want to be sued. :)
 
Keep two safes. One full of cheap coins and stuff. Leave it hidden but in a traditional place Eg in a builtin wardrobe. Get a second better safe and conceal it well. Put you big silver and gold into that one. :)

thermite burns pretty clean, I actually don't mind the smell...molten iron splatter is a different matter, I hate the smell of burning flesh, all the more if it's mine.
 
hide it in plain sight. if you have a kid, give them some molding clay and have them mold a pig around a bunch of coins.
