Now, imagine the chest is buried in the field, and no-one saw me bury it. 
This is my security.

However, after playing Baldurs Gate 2 all weekend, I'm obliged to say that 
really if you have a priceless artifact that you don't want found, the 
trick is to give to a peasant, because no adventurer is going to go round 
killing every peasant in the land to find the one with the treasure. See 
also the way diamonds are transported around Hatton Garden (i.e. in 
people's pockets, not in securicor vans).
