I once worked with a waiter who had twins, and they had this. They'd talk together in gibberish, yet act as if they perfectly understood what the other one was saying. I found it fascinating.
So I was rather pleased to discover there was a word for it.

"Cryptophasia is the phenomenon of a language developed by twins (identical or fraternal) that only the two children can understand."

I've always missed something...
Can't believe I missed this:
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grouville_Hoard
"Mead and Miles started metal detecting in the area where the hoard was reported in the early 1980s after they heard about a farmer who some years earlier had discovered a number of silver coins in an earthenware pot while pulling out a tree from a hedgerow. However, as they did not know the exact location of the find, and as the current owner of the farm would only allow them to metal detect once a year for 10–15 hours after the crops had been harvested, it took about 30 years before they eventually managed to locate the hoard."
