I am pretty sure that a court could order your backyard to be excavated if it believed something important buried there.

That said, hiding evidence from law enforcement/money from the tax authorities is a crime anyways, regardless of where you hide it.

Actually, no they are not, generally.

There is no duty to provide evidence of a crime to law enforcement in the US, anyway - merely to comply with warrants or the like, if issued. There is a difference.

It is also not illegal to hide money - just illegal to not pay taxes due. There is also a difference there too.
