תניתוה עומר שהחזיק בו להוליכו לעיר והניחו על גבי חבירו ושכחו התחתון שכחה והעליון אינו שכחה ר' שמעון בן יהודה אומר משום ר' שמעון שניהן אינן שכחה התחתון מפני שהוא טמון והעליון מפני שהוא צף סברוה דהני תנאי כר' יהודה סבירא להו דאמר בשדה פרט לטמון

You have it stated: 'If he laid hold of a sheaf to convey it into the city, placed it on top of another sheaf belonging to his neighbour and forgot it, the lower is considered to be a forgotten sheaf but not the upper. R. Simeon b. Judah says in the name of R. Simeon: Neither is a forgotten sheaf, the lower because it is hidden and the upper because it is suspended.

Tosefta Peah

[If a farmer] took a sheaf in order to take it to the city, and [then] he put [this sheaf] down [on the ground] on top of his friend (i.e. another sheaf) [while still in the field] and [then] he forgot both of them [in the field where he put them down], then the bottom [sheaf] is [considered to be] Shikcha (forgotten sheaf), and the top [sheaf] is not [considered to be] Shikcha. Rebbi Shimon says, “Both of them are not [considered to be] Shikcha. The bottom [sheaf is not considered to be Shikcha], because it is covered [by the top sheaf], and the top [sheaf is not considered to be Shikcha], because [the farmer] acquired it [for himself].”
