"along with multiple brass-cased hardware." from this statement it sounds very much like a gun of some type. If so not a good idea at all. The powder will degrade and the gun will rust unless stored in cosmoline in a dry place.
If you bury anything on public property chances are good someone will plant a tree there in no time and everything will come out. Worse, if they get the police involved and track you down and then fine you.
Hmmmmmm.....From this post I take it it's a gun. If that's the case why are you wanting to hide it in this manner?
Well, hiding it would really be my only option to store it. I will be moving around for some time, and I can not take it with me. Therefore, I would like to keep it because there won't be many around in the future.
I once had a business operation that I had to shut-down. So I stored a few things, in a trunk.
The metal things were oiled; and each item was placed within a ziplock bag.
The trunk was lined with oil-tarp, and once all items were in the trunk I folded the tarp over the top of the items.
Within the top fold of the tarp I stored a revolver. I poured a couple quarts of used motor oil on the tarp, and shut the lid.
I wrapped the trunk in another tarp, as I placed it in the ground, and I poured another quart of used motor oil on that; and then I filled in the hole.
I went back a decade later, someone had poured a concrete slab and built a garage on the spot.
<shrug> Burying stuff in sealed PVC pipes (time capsules) is more common than you might expect, and from reports on the web, seems to work well. The public property part is bizarre and a misuse of the property. If the weapon is rare, perhaps a loan to a gun collector or even a museum would do the job. Otherwise, selling seems like a good option.
