Took us a while to figure out where my ball went, but Jeff's landed right on top of mine and totally buried it. What's the ruling?

Rule 18-5 does not explicitly indicate what to do in the event this happens in a hazard, so I assume you would get to recreate the lie and replace the ball.
I think that situation is covered by 20-3b. You need to recreate the lie and replace the ball.
The question I have is whether you recreate the buried lie or the lie before the ball struck it.
Jeff may ask for your ball to be moved under 22-2. He should then recreate the lie and play. You should recreate the lie you had before Jeff's ball hit yours and replace it.
