We must have married the same woman, DW's dad not only buried money (depression era fear), but he lost about 20-30K in early 1960's. Their family had gone on vacation just before they were to buy a house they were having built. He took the money with him and buried it near their camp site. When packing to go back home he misplaced it, actually remembers having the coffee can in his hand and placed it somewhere. When it hit him that he didn't reclaim it, the shock made him forget where he had temporarily stashed it. Tried, but never did get it back.
Sad part is he developed dementia (many years later) and his wife never thought she located all the money he had buried. Lesson to learn is make sure spouse knows where everything (investments) are located.
To answer the question: usually between 100-200
