"Securely" being the key term here. Something that is buried securely today may not be buried securely tomorrow, or in 100 or a 1000 years, because the geology of the planet is not static. This can become even more of a problem if the knowledge should be lost what was buried where.

The subterranean geology of granitic shield provinces doesn't change much over the course of ...human-accessible timescales.
