People have been taught or had the idea of burying valuables since the beginning of time. Small hidden safes have become popular over the years and their uses have varied widely. This is not a new idea, but the techniques and tools have changed dramatically.
At least 2-3 times a year a story pops up about someone finding a cache of Roman coins or some other buried treasure in their backyard. We’re not just talking about ancient Europe, people find buried treasures in America all the time. Those things didn’t get there on their own, and they may not be in hidden safes, but it shows how effective burying valuables is for storage.
The undisputed primary use of small hidden safes and sneaky stash has gotten really creative over the years. Everything from soup cans and ketchup bottles to even noodle containers and laundry powder has become a hideaway “in plain sight.” Thieves are very smart and want your valuables as much or even more than you do, but thieves are not the only threat to your valuables or other items that are only valuable to you. You know those things; irreplaceable, but of little physical value to anyone but you. The first four leaf clover your child found, your child’s first milk tooth to come out, or the USB stick that has all the backup data from 3 years of work on your novel and all those digital photos.
There are many uses for small hidden safes that people don’t think of until the neighbor’s house enters or even worse.
Sure, it would have been nice to plan to have a little hidden safe when the bad guys came. You could be laughing right now, but what could be worse than walking in? What if your house burns down?
There are very few small safes or insulated best handgun safe that can withstand the intense heat of a house fire. They even talk about it in their disclaimer.
In the event of a house fire, you definitely want your little “secret” buried outside somewhere with quick and easy access while being safe from the fire.

Believe it or not, there is something worse than a burglar or a house fire when it comes to protecting your valuables. We’ve seen this way too many times lately and it seems like it happens at least twice a year now. The only thing so great is the total destruction and total devastation caused by the weather.
Communities and even entire cities are being razed in seconds with just a few minutes’ warning, if any. In this situation, even a bank is not a safe bet to protect your valuables. Sure, the vault is secure, but getting in to get your emergency cash won’t happen quickly.
Having a small hidden safe that is buried on your property and fully under your control, even if a tornado destroyed your neighborhood, can be a good precaution to take. The best part is that they are high-tech and larger than most safes. It gets better, small underground safes are less expensive than the annual rent for a similar-sized safe.
