Buried Spitfires ?

I was reading an article today about buried ex-Luftwaffe WW2 in the US, basically that after evaluation/reverse engineering they were clumsily dumped, but are now being restored.

In the comments section there was a chap who mentioned that whilst stationed at the Empire Test Pilots School in Rhodesia, he either saw or knew of spitfires that were buried in crates within the airfield's perimeter. Would the panel think this credible and if so might they be in recoverable condition ?
