Better take some sort of GPS device, though. Otherwise you may never find it again. Who was the British chap that buried a bunch of silver before WWI and never found it?
Sure but you can never reconnect that device with the internet directly or indirectly.

Alan Turing? I think I remember reading about that in the Hodges bio.
Edit: Yep, Turing - https://www.iflscience.com/alan-turing-buried-his-life-savin...
And at that point, I ask what are you burying that is so uniquely valuable that you don't need to access? I guess there are circumstances around cash or coinage that you don't want the government to know about--though that's increasingly hard to spend in large quantities today.
And to what degree to you trust your family with this secret information?
Don’t take your cell phone with you when you do the burying. And only tell your family about it with hand written notes. And make sure they know not to look up any information related to the caches. And that they know to never speak of the caches near an internet enabled device.
Also, don’t disturb the ground in any visible way. Just comparing google maps satellite imagery is enough to uncover your hiding place. Probably better to disturb many places and only hide valuables in a few of them.
