This dead drop was intended to look like a cemetery spike, which kept the drop from drawing any unwanted attention.
Communication between agents and their handlers always poses a risk. A “dead” drop allows secure communication by one person leaving and the other person picking up material later at a prearranged location. This eliminates the need for direct contact. This device is a spike that one could push into the ground. It is hollow and could contain messages, documents, or film.
