I love the care and depth that goes into these explanations.

Only prepare one chest and film it being burried three times.

That way you are only out $1000 and they'll keep searching for the other 2 (non existent) chests if/when they find the chest.

No, no, people will give up if it's just one. You need to do two chests, marked #1 and #3. Film a #2 being buried also, but dig it up immediately.

Wouldn't this just result in Metal Detector sales?

Who is mowing lawns to look for dig spots? Just look for shit ass grass in patches.

The kids ruin the whole garden, and that's when the lawn care company comes into play.

When I saw this I thought this was an old one, but not at all. Was there a similar one before? Or has someone else done this joke already?
