Buried antennas were seriously investigated by the military some time
ago, and are probably still in use. While terribly inefficient, some can
radiate enough to be useful, and invisibility can be an asset.

Agree.

I didn't mean to imply that a buried antenna wouldn't work at all. Dirt's
not a perfect shield material, which is what would be required for zero
radiation.
