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.

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.

@dgunearthed7859 Год назад

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!"

@2is1gold 2 года назад

Very true!

@djhal7961 2 года назад

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

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.

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.

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.

@curtisscott9251 Год назад

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.

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.

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.

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.

I also have the other stuff you mentioned 😅 though I agree that nothing is foolproof. I'm researching the off-country vault storage too.

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 🤔

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.

This is helpful thank you - I think I might start with the JM bullion.

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. 🤠

@2is1gold 2 года назад

Thanks!

@MrSyvern1 Год назад

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.

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.

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.

@2is1gold 2 года назад

The problem with glass break detection is over sensitivity. A storm with rain and winds could set it off. Any vibration like someone knocking on the window or bouncing a tennis ball off it sets off the alarm. So the window doesn't have to break to set off the alarm.

I know telling “good guys” about your stashes is not a great idea, but having a note locked up somewhere with the stashes listed would not be a bad thing. One day you may up and croak and your family has to go on an Easter egg hunt of the century to hopefully find it all 🙂 In my grandfathers case, he got too old to remember where everything was as we were moving them to downsize homes. I was finding $100’s in old boots headed for the dump and 10oz silver bars and rounds up in the attic. Like to think we got it all but I have a feeling the new owners have a few free gifts stashed in the walls of that house….

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.

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.
