- Is it safe to store $100,000 of gold at your home? An email came in with this question, and there's just no way I'd ever be qualified to answer that question. Everyone has to decide for themselves. I can tell you some things to consider, though, that might help with securing your gold onsite.

I buy gold and other assets on a dollar cost average schedule and then buy more as price and interest allow. If you want to know more about buying gold coins, that is my primary focus here. I talk a bit about cryptocurrency, mining stocks and other equities as well. Cheers!

About 40 years ago my father in law had a large amount of cash. He was partially disabled so had my daughter climb up into his attic and stash it. A couple of her cousins were present at the time. When he sent her up to retrieve it, it was gone. When more than one person knows something, it's no longer a secret.
As Fox Mulder of X-files said "Trust no one". 40 years ago is one thing. Today?? You tell ONE person, might as well as leased a billboard stating "Hey, I have gold and here's where to find it, and here's the dates and times I won't be home!"
unreal
That was just asking to get robbed.
That was dumb to have all those people around and to trust someone like that to stash it in his house. He would have been better off keeping it in a bank or credit union.
Or the field mice have it shredded and packed into a side wall.
The saying “loose lips sinks ships” is still appropriate today as it was during WW2. No one can steal from you if they don’t know about it. Thanks for the video 2is1.
Very true!
The problem with loose lips is that they tend to belong to loved ones who don't have an appreciation for the risk associated with having a large cache at home. That's why I prefer a Depository. Yes, the amount they buy silver eagles for is less than what others are paying on eBay, but the peace of mind is priceless.
And that brings to mind the fact that when the SHTF, getting any price online is liable to be a non issue. Of course, if that's the case, then you run the real risk of getting robbed on the way home from the Depository. Again, when the SHTF, getting ANYTHING shipped is liable to be a non starter (ie. Covid, when the whole world came to a stop).
It's enough to keep someone needlessly worrying. Therefore, spreading it around at home and amongst different locations makes the most sense to me. JMHO
Exactly! A stackers worst enemy is their own mouth. If you want to keep it then don't blag about it. Act as if you have nothing at all.
sure they can. random break-in
@@barbaradimascio4623 Exactly. However you can hide it very well not likely to be found at a random burglary. But that of course come with the risk that should you die and no one else knows anything about then your relatives don't get any benefit from it and it sits there till the house is demolished or something needs to be rebuild and then the new owners get a true treasure.

Burying it in the back yard has worked for many people for generations.
Probably the best option. It would be safe from fires and tornadoes
@@DS-tt9vz But not metal detectors unless you bury it 6+ feet down I've read.
@@MoonMan1956 If some one knows you have gold they will find it regardless. Burying it in the backyad protects against robbers who don't know you have it and protects it from the elements and house fires.

@@MoonMan1956 Lucky! 9 acres!
I have been robbed in the past. It was by someone who was in my house, and was jealous of my stuff. I have a home that is somewhat ordinary looking from the street, but it is nicely upgraded inside. It is filled with high-end art, furnishings, etc. Once this person was in my home, he learned of the nice things inside, and he decided it was worth the risk to steal it. It leaves a scar, to be a victim. It is very hard for me to want nice things in my home, as the envy from others puts honest people at risk. My point is this. $100,000 is very safe in your home if you do not tell anyone about it. Keep it out of sight. Do not advertise your wealth,. Oh, another thing, police can care less about helping a rich person reclaim their stolen items. The officer that I spoke with hated rich people, and said that anyone who can afford to own nice things, can afford to have them stolen.
We do our best to give the impression that we have nothing of value in our home. No guns, money, etc.
What a dick cop
It’s not about a secure safe. EVER ! That’s the visible target for a thief. It’s about the hiding place .
It’s about executing burglars caught in the act.
How about a gigantic safe burglars wear themselves out on, when really its buried in a smaller safe underneath the big one.
And burying em in the backyard and no one ever knew they were there except you.@@busterbiloxi3833

ps those walmart safes are awesome diversions lol I keep one in every closet with some fun fakes coins and fake cash inside with a note to the thief :) Its funny to me to think they will break their back hauling them off only to find my surprises inside later...Im almost sad I havent been robbed yet lmao
I love your idea. I believe in digging a hole
You sandbaggin SOB! :)
Ha!
I might or might not have a dummy safe myself.....
@@davidpugh8772 then dig a hole
Suggestion: By a used safe that is fairly difficult to open. Fill it with concrete so it weighs 200+ pounds and permanently seal the door shut. Chances are a thief will struggle to remove it and leave the premises with a smile on his face. Option: Add a tracking device so the police will be able to find him.
Forget the tracking device, C4 will do just fine 😎
@@EroticOnion23 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
“Permanently seal the door shut”
What if you need to access your own gold?
@A Fridge Too Far, I think they mean to use this as a decoy safe.
@@afridgetoofar1818 Hopefully the gold is stored elsewhere and that is just a decoy to waste the burglar's time.

Remember the FBI raided a vault service, ignored the warrant and took all the innocent gold, jewels etc. People are suing them for return, but that is very expensive. Never use an off site storage facility.

Hiding spots are awesome .might take time but behind finished sheetrock . Expecting to keep it there for years and years unless you want an exoensive repair to add behind insulation bolted to interior wall up high... brick outer foundation
Great topic and great vid. Another way to think about this topic would be to put it in terms of time. When you purchase a safe, you are purchasing time. Therefore, if you can buy a nicer safe, or hide the safe, this equals more time. Anything that can be done to slow someone down gives you the benefit.
Your logic is on point. 👏💯👏

I installed a TL 15 minute Gun safe, bolted to floor, Rino brand… USA made. Fire rated for 45 minutes. I expect an expert could crack it open 10 minutes…. Mostly for fire protection. Will keep un-professional thieves out of my tiny 4 ounces of gold. And I got a noisy dog!
I had a friend of mine about 10 years ago that was murdered along with his wife and stepson the wife survived long enough to tell the police who did it. They were slashed to death left to bleed to death on the floor of their own home. It all started when Bill started bragging about the amount of gold coins that he had in a safe in his office. He owned a house moving company and his employees knew that he had a lot of gold in that safe. One evening about 9:00 one of his employees paid him a visit told him he needed to discuss something with him that was very important. Bill invited him into his office the man pulled a knife told Bill to open the safe bill did not open the safe he was stabbed to death multiple times, that's when his son come walking in and he was also stabbed multiple times Bill's wife was upstairs had no idea what was going on but heard a noise and went downstairs and they cut her pretty badly and left her to die. Turns out there were four of them that targeted there place. They took the entire safe and drove about 30 miles away to a remote location. The safe was found the next day but there was nothing in it. Bill's wife survived long enough in the hospital to give the police the names of all four a robbed and took their life. I consider her a hero she held on just long enough and now all four of those men their former employees have been locked up and will remain locked up for life. Very very sad story. None of this would have had to happen if Bill would have kept his gold in a safety deposit box or some other means that wouldn't be just sitting there. A safe that is visible is about the worst place you can keep anything valuable. The safe tells the thief exactly where the valuables are and some are willing to go to any length to get it. My dad always said keep your money in the bank. I know now that he was correct or at least keep it somewhere where it's not visible.
And seceret
Terrible story.
Banks aren’t safe either. Especially from the FBI and other Federal agencies. They’re crooks also.
@@2is1gold terrible story with a greatly important lesson
Keep your money in the bank until your government decides to freeze your accounts and steal it all, like they recently did in Canada.
Great video.
🤜🤛
Thank you 😊
It depends on who knows about it. If it's in a safe that's discretely located in the home and you don't brag about it, then it's probably safer than paper gold or vaulted gold if there's a SHTF scenario.
*laughs in tweaker with an angle grinder*
Suggestion: Live in the hood. Home burglaries are near zero for a reason. Bars on windows, double layered security doors, everyone has a gun and nobody thinks you have anything worth stealing

In all seriousness, even if a private vault were right next door, there is still counter-party risk, whether it be vault-owner related or more likely, government ordered confiscation during a “vault holiday”.
That’s why I think some gold paper is a-okay.
Yeah, pros and cons for sure. Cheers!
Sorry, a vault what?

⭐All excellent information. ⭐
Very interesting and informative. Really enjoy your videos. Thoughtful and intelligent.
Thanks!
BTW: Be sure to protect you "SAFE" from fire by using a water buffer designed to boil off in the event of a fire. Water boils at 100 degrees C and anything inside of a safe protected by that fact of physics (including paper) should be fine. In many metal safes - this can be as simple as a 12-40 oz beverage can sized container of water with a wax plug sealing a small hole in the top of the can. When temperatures in the safe exceed the wax's melting point - the seal will disintegrate allowing the water to boil when it reaches 100C. The inside of the safe will remain at 100C as long as the can contains boiling water. In many fires - this will be long enough to protect the innards of the safe as the structure around it burns away. Paper kindles at 230 degrees C so keeping the safe at 100C by using boiling water as a "refrigerant" makes complete sense.
Very smart
Very nice idea! If making a water jacket for the safe it could be nice to add a rust inhibitor so the it doesn't corrode and floor your contents.
but melted gold is still gold...
You are absolutely right . . We ALL are involved in this
One of your best informative videos. Kudos!
Thanks! 🤜🤛
A safe is also a good distraction…especially if bolted down WELL. Even leave some "snacks" in it. So if they get into it they will feel like they scored.
Ha!
Great point on not hiding it in electrical boxes or paint cans, because you're absolutely right, somebody will throw them away or an electrician will go into the box.
Same thing with hiding them at a family members house. If they hire a contractor for some reason, they might find your stash :)
The spouse doing you a favor (or they can't stand the mess) and throws out the cans

Fun video!
About ten years ago our friends watched a video that shared how to put all their precious metals/money into a black PVC pipe seal both ends and then put that pipe inside a larger drainage pipe in your backyard. "Modify this to fit your situation". It worked amazingly for over ten years. However, the house was sold and it wasn't until last year that the friend's old memory clicked in to remind them that they had left that pipe full of their precious metals. They went back to ask the new owners if they could retrieve it only to find out that the place had been demolished and a parking lot was there now. No one knows what happened to the PVC pipe. Very true story.
Oh no!!! 😱
0% chance this is a true story. Maybe possible if the owner died.

Careful. Security through obscurity is no security at all.
I think safes are a bad idea, unless they're very well hidden. I can think plenty of ways someone could make you open your safes for them.

When insulating my attic, I found a tiny "room" where my furnace exhaust goes from the basement to the roof. I don't have anything currently in there because it's difficult to access but over the years I've kept things I didn't want found in there.

What gold and silver? I lost mine years ago in that unfortunate boating accident! Good vid. And I hope no one’s actually using those “book safes.” The worst mistake we can make is assuming thieves don’t educate themselves on hidden storage methods.

Back in the late eighties, I was managing a large pawnshop. There were 3 owners, but one of them kept 100,000.$ dollars of various currencies,gold, silver and cash in a safe at home. He would brag about it often, until several nefarious individuals broke in while was at home and beat him within an inch of his life until he opened the safe. No one was apprehended 🤔

@@MLupacchino Over $100,000? I doubt it.
So what did you end up doing with your new found fortune?
@@victorialadybug1 - yes though the thieves and crooks he bragged to (and you rarely, really know), believed it ... even if it was only $50K USD in some gold and cash - that can be enough - esp back then - $50K in 1985 was almost serious money for a small time hood.
@@victorialadybug1 It's a common scenario. Entire families have been killed for one member bragging about 20K in cash in the home safe.
Just ordered a TL-30x6 yesterday. Good rule of thumb for safes is how much you plan to store should dictate how much you spend. If you plan on 50k of "stuff" then you need to look at a proper safe that can be insured for that amount, check with your insurance to see what is required to meet their requirements for insurance. Spent 3 months shopping and researching but it is necessary to understand all the details of a proper safe.
Of course don't tell anyone.
Yeah, good info. My insurance company has requirements as well, but they feel outdated. Cheers!
Years ago, I had a neighbor who took out special insurance on some valuables she had. A week later her home was broken into and the valuables stolen. It was never proven that the insurance company leaked information but, you know...hmmm.
It’s quite fun looking at safes and finding out about the different ratings,like TL and TRTL and what not,kinda like buying diamonds,it’s fun when you know what all the numbers mean. I have a cool antique safe that’s the size of a dishwasher but it weighs 2000 pounds so I’m not worried about anyone hauling it out.
You just did.
What brand did you finally purchase?
so shelfful and engaging
Love that treasure story
Thank you, this is valuable info! 👍🏻 Years ago, there was a pseudo documentary series called “It Takes A Thief” wherein 2 reformed burglars would scope a house, then get the homeowners’ permission to “break in” after the cameras had been set up to film the carnage. It was terrifying to see what pro thieves could grab in under 10 minutes. On another note, I am bemused at comments from gun owners who are determined to protect their safes. This plan only works if you live alone! 😱 If you have a spouse or child threatened by a thug with a gun or knife, you are gonna open that safe. Much to be considered here! I think your “layers” concept is on-point for best security.
2 is 1 and 1 is none. When 2 people know where your stash is there is one chance of losing it to thieves...
when 1 person (yourself) knows where your stash is there is no chance of losing it
Ha, well put.
If you have that much you have a decent start. I personally had that much stashed in the 90’s.
I don't blame you! Silver is bulky! I'll be trading Ag for Au when the ratio narrows.
Slap’s “Eleven Rules For Storing Gold & Silver At Home”
1) A safe advertises hidden valuables, but if you must use a safe, bolt it down and load it with VERY heavy weights.
2) Store some decoy/sacrificial coins/cheap jewelry in an easy-to-find location. Then hide the good stuff well.
3) Unless you use a safe, NEVER hide your stash in a bedroom or bedroom closet.
4) Same as #3, but insert “study” and “pantry”.
5) Forget hollowed-out books, fake soup cans, etc… your stack will be stolen in less than 5 minutes.
6) If using a desk, bookcase or shelf, make sure your hiding spot won’t be revealed if these are tipped over. Because they WILL be tipped over.
7) You WILL want frequent access to your stash (to add to it, look at it, or (god forbid) take from it)… don’t make access difficult (behind drywall, buried in the yard, need a sledgehammer to get to it, etc.).
8) Unless using a safe, the best spots are in plain sight and LIKELY TO BE OVERLOOKED, or they’re multi-layered (meaning you have to move this, shift that, lift this and open that in order to access your stash).
9) Make sure someone you trust (spouse, financial planner, estate attorney, etc) has a sealed “open in the event of my death” letter describing where your stash is hidden.
10) With the exception of #9 above, NEVER EVER talk about your stash or that it’s in your home.
11) Never use a hiding spot that can be discovered by a contractor doing work in your house or yard.
KEEP IN MIND: The average home burglary in the US lasts just 11 minutes! Thieves want a quick hit-and-run.
Great list. 🤜🤛
If burying gold just off site (or anywhere for that matter), DO NOT: bring your cell phone or any other form of tracking device with you when you make deposits. Hell, don't even drive your vehicle there. And especially don't be seen by anyone or on any camera.
Learn how to do 'perfection' wall board repair .... etc. Use a cheap safe as deflective 'bait'.
🤜🤛
If you put it in the bank they will take it
A typical jewelry safe - especially those from actual jewelry stores - maybe about 2 feet high - can make a nice end table - putting a table cloth over it and putting stuff on it like all other tables, makes it look like everything else in your house and draws little to no attention...but not letting anyone know what you have and certainly where you have it is still the best way to keep your stuff safe.
Solid plan.
Put it up on the internet so that the thieves can educate themselves further. Nice.
@@ruanbouwer3746 just a suggestion
@@ruanbouwer3746 yes - poor choice on my part.
You have a nice end table.
Great video! I was initially going with simply hiding metals but quickly realized that hiding them doesn't protect them from fires so I decided to go with a safe and 2 other off-site storage locations for mine. I also have the other stuff you mentioned 😅 though I agree that nothing is foolproof. I'm researching the off-country vault storage too.
Smart to layer it like that. 🤜🤛
Thanks for the video. If you have the safe installed in a wall, covered by a painting, the installer might rat you out to some professional crooks.
Nice Shiro :)
At my location I built a 15x10 vault. Solid filled concrete cinder block walls, and a concrete ceiling with a vault door, and inside of it a safe. It’s not impenetrable, but it keeps people honest.
Me too!
Thanks for you video; well done on this subject. Appreciate you stepping into this water. Security is both personal, common sense and situational. We pay a lot for gold, a few dollars spent and time planning how to protect it seems a responsibility. I agree with your comment about the first step of security, and in my opinion, the most important and it cost nothing .... Silence! Sharing what you have is just asking for the problems! Thanks!
Very true. Cheers!
Precisely why I consider lead a precious metal.
Security by obscurity is cool and could be effective but there are huge concerns like you say of someone throwing it out. Or if you die loved ones being able to find it.
When my great grandfather passed away , We found 120 One ounce gold coins in the bottom of a cat litter box.
Wow.
One of the things I learnt fairly early on was that buying coins is essentially collecting, and you like having your collections close to you because they are pretty, shiny and you want to play with them and cuddle, and lick... I prefer bars... They are plain, ugly... they are what they are, nothing more nothing less. They are cheap and there is absolutely no emotional attachment to them. You are then happy to keep the "investment" in a vault. I live in Australia and my preference is the Singapore Freeport. Away from government jurisdiction.
Makes sense. Cheers!
Anyone can hide anything.
A decoy is a good idea too.
Have more bars than on outerbanks just going to my front porch. Like the way it shines as i cross them. Neighbors laugh when i tell them those are real gold bars! Havent lost one yet.
It's an important topic to consider for sure. I just feel better not keeping anything at home. Spread across a couple of different vaults I can sleep at night 😴
🤜🤛
A good option is a floor safe. This is recessed under the flooring and done right it is very difficult to discern the access point from anywhere else on the floor.

If I'm going to use a vaulting service, it would be one offshore. Might as well get country diversification as well.
Bwahaha. Most definitely safest at home. Not only is everyone in town scared of me, but if someone entered my home they'd never be found again

Really just depends on the amount you own and how protective you are of that specific wealth
Problem with hiding is if you pass. Happened to someone I know. Lost diamonds and cash.
😬
Can you please address some of the issues with a bank safety deposit box…. many thanks and much appreciated
The only issue is access. You can only get in it when the bank allows you to. The claims that you cannot store gold or cash in safety deposit boxes is not true. There is no federal law banning that, though a bank can make rules on what you are allowed to store in their vault.
Paint your 1000 oz silver bars black and use them as door stops.
Solid idea.
Wouldn’t paint ruin them and the value?
@@CatsAreNiceMeowGold only reacts with acid. You can paint it any color you want.
My best friend had a contractor pour a 12x12 concrete slab in his backyard. Nothing notable to him, just a small job. Then he installed a Rubbermaid shed and cut a hole in the floor. The dugout area underneath is 6x6x6 with another layer of concrete on the floor and timber walls. He stacks metal in sealed 5 gallon buckets. When the floor is in place and the mower, pressure washer, etc are in there it looks just like any other shed.
definitely bolt that safe to the floor! concrete slab floor preferred!
Yep!
I've wanted to do this video. Glad you did it first. I'm off the hook. It is comforting to know that no matter what or when, you can see what's going on inside and outside the home. I'm the same way and get those push notifications - and while it does have its limitations, whether hardwired or wireless, cameras are certainly better than nothing. Dogs? Even better. I appreciate the common-sense approach to security rather than the neanderthal, knuckle-dragging "I'd pump him full of lead" type testosterone comments from people who have likely never been on the barrel side of a firearm yet alone trained correctly to prepare for such a situation.
Absolutely. Nobody should want to be tested in that situation and most would fail. There’s plenty of practical layers anyone can add without getting into cowboy territory. Cheers, Vert!
Are you suggesting the tools to defend one's property are not an important part of the security layers?
@@mybad8805 no, not at all. What do you think I am suggesting?
I’m not sure if I have mentioned this on your channel but I have had several safes in my day and a couple years ago I bought a custom safe from a company called sturdy safe. I found that they offered the most steel for the money! I was blown away at how well made their safes are! If anyone is looking, check them out. 🤠
Thanks!
Good advice. I am more than average interested in safes and have done a lot of research into every aspect of what makes a safe safe. Sturdy ticks off most of the boxes of what a safe should be, at least if you are considering the price. If money is no option, look into Graffunder. A TL15 rating is also a good minimum level to be considered a true safe. Sturdy's are not TL-rated, but they would with no doubt pass the test if they tried. Sadly a lot of people are douped by boxstore "safes" with shiny paint and huge locking bolts, but in reality they only get a tin can with a strong looking door.
No safe is any safer than your willingness to open it when a gun is pointed at your children's or your wife's head.
Good solid advice. Every individual needs unique plan specific to that person’s needs.

Nice shiro
Thanks 🤜🤛
When the SHTF burglar alarms and security cameras aren’t going to cut the mustard unfortunately.
There are additional ways to ensure security. Cheers!
Yes….but we can’t talk about it unfortunately
Storage services are a tall hurdle. I’m sure they are honest and trustworthy. I simply can’t be sure the service will always be in control of the their own situation if things went south in their region. It’s a mental issue….for me. I realize things could go south in *my* region. But, being the basket case that I am, I prefer to go down with my own ship. I may even go down while they remain afloat. However, peace of mind works better for me when I feel I have more control and access than the services allow. To each his own though. C’est la vie. Statistically, they are very safe.
Yep, if you’re more comfortable keeping them in your personal domain, that’s the way to go. I like a split, but it took me a while to get there. Cheers!
@@2is1gold splitting the baskets sounds rational. Maybe my faith will grow with time as well if the current madness ever retreats. Would definitely take baby steps toward an eventual split. Another option, at my age, is to begin familial distribution, as that is the ultimate destination anyway.
Your region is a trailer park filled with trailer trash.
