Bury knife.

Knives would probably be illegal by the time it's discovered, requiring the area to to be taped off with crime tape until the rest of the area is excavated and "secured."

What if a child found it? What about the children? sarcastic tone

Bury an obsidian knife for two benefits. One, the metal detectors won't detect it. Two, the person who finds it may think it is a Paleolithic treasure. Third benefit - it won't rust.

I actually did that once. I once worked for a survey company staking out power lines across country including archeological sites. The State of Texas required an archeologist to accompany us to locate and detour equipment around certain areas. I found an incredible bi-face serrated knife and against my fellow crew members advice showed to the archeologist. The b@stard confiscated it, saying it was illegal for civilians to collect artifacts.

We made his life miserable for the remainder of the job, salting the area with crude homemade flint knives or exact replications carved out of wood we half buried with Made in China stickers on them.

I was also later contracted by the elementary school I went to as a kid to bury a 'time capsule' with my backhoe that was to be dug up a century from now to show the little ones what life was like back in 1998. I was given possession of it, a stainless cylinder containing all kinds of stuff the students wanted to put in there, calculators, photos, class photos andwhatnot.
A buddy I grew up with that also went to the elementary school where it was to be buried said we should have sawed into it and added our own interesting articles including the standard 'f... you punk' message, pics of a porn actress getting railed from behind with the faces of the teacher and smiling principal photoshopped on the torsos , used condoms etc... I know bad taste. The buddy/fellow deviant was a game warden in S. Texas who later guided politicians and wealthy corporation owners and moguls from around the world.

I had a whole lot to say on the subject but we're not in W&C, short answer is no, if your looking to make it a treasure put it in your basement, hide it in a wall or up on a rafter,

One of these...

Not one of these...

Hey to each his own, if you can afford to buy and bury custom knives just for kicks, more power to you. Personally I think you're a little odd for wanting to do that but it's not my concern, bury away... :confused:

I thought it may have been some kind of prepper nonsense :p

Never thought about doing it just for kicks.
I don't think you'll ever do it, but if you do let us know. On second thought you better not tell us...someone here may try to find it:D
 
I will probably be buried with a knife on me , but a knife alone...nope.
 
Around 1992, give or take, I was in college and used a brand new Buck Lite, I think it was called, with OD green handles to field dress a doe I killed on the farm. I must have blacked out and and buried it in a time capsule - after the last cut, I never found it again. Wish I knew so I could dig it up now.

You must have been abducted by aliens while you were dressing that deer, hence the lost time,and knife.

Now some little grey alien is sporting your Buck.

I've often wondered. Anybody sees the little guy with my old knife, tell him I'd love to get it back.

I think the young, undeveloped mind becomes overwhelmed by the excitement of the hunt causing it to leave a knife, whether it was a Clovis knife on a Paleo-Indian bison or mammoth kill or after field dressing a deer in the modern age.

I was given a knife from an uncle that belonged to my grandfather, his EDC during the Great Depression, a folder made by the Electric Knife Co., with the instructions not to take it camping or lose it. I carried it anyway and gutted my first deer with it at the age of 12. And promptly walked off and left it, never to be found again.
