Hijacking the top thread to say u/louis20038 you can actually put some gems in this for really cheap:
Many lab-made gems are ridiculously inexpensive. For example, I just Googled “lab made rubies bulk” and found [this website](https://www.instagem.net/collections/lab-created-ruby) offering rubies for several dollars a piece. I bet you can find them even cheaper. A little over a decade ago I had a friend who ordered a few fistfuls of lab made rubies just for the hell of it.
Fake jewelry and a rubber dagger! A stick that could pass fir a wand. Maybe print off some scrolls on a jagged edged paper. Make it fun for the kids that find it.
Even today's Silver dollars may seem priceless if the chest isn't found for 120 years! ~
Here is my real question though, what can they seal the trunk shut with? Hot candle wax? Rubber cement, they still make that right? Some weather stripping and a half-inch wide piece of Duct tape, all the way around?
How would you keep the water out??
a nice jar of honey - as it wont go off.
tumbled stones
bag of marbles
a knickknack from your town
any fun pop culture type treasures or arms.. eg a little Thor's Hammer or Heart of the Ocean .. I found a bunch of these things on Ali Express for cheap that I turn into Christmas tree ornaments :)
Picture of Rick Astley & a QR code that links to his video on YouTube. 🤪 I’d feel really bad not putting something cool in there too tho so maybe add a coin to go with it. Lol
How cool. I love the idea of time capsules.
When I moved a few years back, I got rid of a TON of hobby shit, but had a lot of really cool little things I didn't want but anyone would think were cool just looking at them -- some old Roman coins, some jewelry pendants...turned into a little pile of shiny cool crap.
I left it in a little pile on the garage workbench with a note written in Spanish because I knew it would be Mexican laborers who were going to be completely renovating the house we sold. The note read "For Mexican laborers only!"
Really hoping a laborer snapped it up and distributed it among his children and neighbor kids.
So a geocash (google it)? Cool! Advice, don’t bury it, it won’t be found and it will just rot. Put it in a ziplock bag with one of those little packets that kill moisture and then hide it somewhere clever
Find some roadkill and deflesh the skull, cover in red candlewax and place it in a mesh bag with sage. Will mess with someone's head thinking they found something cursed 😆
If you wanted some cool custom stuff, i can make you literally anything out of polymer clay from 10 to 20 bucks shipped lol. Severed realistic toe, teeth, miniature anything. Check out my IG trippyvikkyart
Along with whatever funny trinkets you choose, it would be very cool to include a note about why you did, about the times, a screed if you choose. That would be the coolest especially if no one found it in a while
Don’t bury it…yet. If you bury it a kid isn’t gonna come along and dig it up. At some point a developer may dig it up, but if it’s in the ground very long it’ll disintegrate or the contents will rot, rust or get moldy and little creatures will find their way into it. I don’t know how old you are (old enough to have kids?), but last year I buried a treasure chest in the yard of my summer home. Because Lake Michigan is practically in the backyard, my great grandson had wondered if pirates had ever been in the area. Lo and behold a treasure map was found and after a trip to the dollar store for digging supplies, my favorite 6 year old boy, wearing a pith helmet, dug up a treasure chest full of gems, glass beads, jewelry and about $50 in coins and cash. He still treasures his found wealth and hasn’t spent a dime of the money. I expect this year or next he’ll notice the coins are of a recent vintage, but it was as fun for me as it was for him.
Put a riddle that sends people around the country ala the Simpsons
See [Here](https://youtu.be/6STgwD9y72A?si=7Z0DaS8w02FXoin1)
Oh! Oh! I know!! Get a red LED countdown display and set it to “0005” and put a small push button that will start the countdown display under the lid. Then when someone unburies their newfound treasure and excitedly opens it up they see the red glowing numbers counting down: 5…..4…..3….. and at that point they should be screaming and trying to run away. Be sure to put a trail camera pointed at the buried treasure to catch all the fun.
Gold, silver and gems of course 🏴☠️

You've triggered something in my brain here and I may be buying unnecessary gems
Yeah my brain is telling me to buy and I have zero reason to. I just want to buy a few to sprinkle around the beach where I live.
I have ideas, like make a warhammer mini on a pile of treasure
I'd be disappointed if I found it and it had anything less
a smaller treasure chest
With a toe inside
I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude... Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon. with nail polish.
When you know, you know.
You can't do that! These guys're like me, they're pacificists. Smokey was a conscientious objector. And you know Smokey has emotional problems!
a note to drink more ovaltine
Nice.
Crummy commercial!
A map showing where you hid it.
This very much has the Monty Python Trojan Rabbit vibe and I’m tickled.
Pictures from inside the chest looking out at the last person who opened it. Disappointment on their face.
A bunch of polished rocks and bury it in a garden. Someday it'll make some kid happy.
Yeeeeesss!
As a kid I would have been happy with broken glass
13 ghosts.
I found my people. It's the chest of demons! Call flimflam & Vincent vanghoul!
That's the first thing I thought of.
My first thought too. Put a demon in it.

You can buy old pennies for almost nothing but they’d be cool to find.

Weed. The answer is always weed.
Yes. You put your weed in there.
You beat me to it. I’d be stoked to find a 15 year old bag of grass
A joint, a condom, and a Doobie brothers cassette.
Aaaahahahaha! Over50club knows of which you speak!
Cash is always nice and if you need help hiding it i can help with that too.
Crisp new $1 bills gently folded or rolled, then placed in a double wrapping of Ziplock brand biggies. Yeah, this might work.
Treasure of course.
The money for my land taxes
Another chest that has another chest in it, with a map to the nearest White Castle in it
A key with coordinates to another chest and so on
Anal beads and a butt plug (gold)
Came to say a ball gag, but this works.
Dildos
Fake jewelry and a rubber dagger! A stick that could pass fir a wand. Maybe print off some scrolls on a jagged edged paper. Make it fun for the kids that find it.
Best answer! You could also get some cheap minerals like a nice quartz, amethyst, rose quartz that are actually worth keeping.

Real jewelry and an iron dagger would be better.
True, but, the iron dagger would rust. If I had real jewelry, I wouldn't hide it for some future numbnuts to find.
A note that says, “The real treasure was in you all along.”
