Bury Your Guns In A Survival Cache Before Winter: Glock Lowers Are Easy to Hide

I've already lost all my guns in a boating accident. Otherwise I would bury them I guess.... and if I were to bury them, I absolutely would feel confident putting them in a Chinese made container I got off Amazon...

"USA Made"... yea.... I bet.....

A Glock lower will do well in almost any container.

They are mode from polymer.

Remove the locking block to make it undetectable with a metal detector.

Wait, what?

Glock lowers are made from polymer? How come this is the first I'm hearing of it? I thought Glocks were porcelain guns, made in Germany. I thought they cost more than what an airport security chief makes in a month.

Is it possible I was being lied to?
 
@Reptile , a former Special Forces NCO who had been a cartographer taught me Land Navigation when I was a mere Private First Class. At the time, the Army standard was to use eight digit grid coordinates on a topographic map to find a point to within ten meters on the ground. That’s a square of about 33’x33’.

He taught us to use ten digit grid coordinates to be more precise. This enabled us to find points to within one square meter on the ground. He stated that it was how they would cache items. No electronics to track. Stash your maps showing the locations.

When burying weapons, obviously you want to bury them vertically in the hole. Ten inch PVC with caps is the best method. Fill it with cosmoline and put the weapon right in if it’s going to be long term. For ammo or grain, displace the oxygen with nitrogen as you’re dumping it in the container. An 81mm mortar ammunition tube, made of plastic with rubber O rings will cost you less than ten bucks but it will hold 750 rounds of 9mm ammunition.

Use clumps of cement with embedded rebar buried in the area to make searchers give up after digging up a few of them. It’s a lot of work but it could be enough to camouflage your real stash.

Then again, @Knob Creek said it best. When it’s time to bury guns, it’s time to dig em up.

It's been a busy digging season for me. I have refined some of my gun caches to not include much metal to be found by a metal detector.
Since Glock uppers are not registered or hard to get, how about burying just your lowers so your cache wont give itself up to metal detectors?
In 2 years, you must legally register all your guns.
In the mean time you can bury your lowers in a container in VT or NH and you'll never have to register in Massachusetts.
Then you can store your uppers in secret places in Massachusetts.
Keep what you need at home but for a large collection that is not needed right away - you can store the lowers away under the earth for long term storage...

Link below has a good container.

Just store the GPS coordinates and landmarks in a secure location.
Before you bury, keep your cell phone at home and pull the fuse on your On Star so nobody will know where you are.

What do you think of keeping spare Glocks broken apart as lowers an uppers in different places?

Some burying tips to evade detection by standard metal detectors:

• Shield coins with a metal container or sheet to confuse signals.
• Use a non-metallic container with layers of concrete or stones.
• Scatter junk metal nearby or in upper soil layers to create false signals.
• Bury near large metal objects to mask the signal.
• Use strong magnets to interfere with magnetic readings.
