   • 1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 15:

     En Chile […] existió la costumbre de enterrar dinero y joyas de valor, con el objeto de ponerlos a cubierto de la rapacidad de los vencedores. Por diversas causas, muchos de esos entierros […] no fueron recuperados por sus dueños, y ahí se quedaron, aguardando al que tuviera la fortuna de encontrarlos.
