I imagine and hope every day that I find
0:05
myself in the classic scenario of
0:07
finding a bag with a large sum of money
0:09
in it underneath a street bench. So far,
0:12
luck has not been on my side, but I'm
0:14
holding out hope. Well, this family may
0:17
have had an even better experience with
0:19
what they found behind a fake wall in
0:21
one of the many garages on their
0:23
family's property. Reddit user V. Sky
0:26
and his family were starting the task of
0:28
cleaning out and remodeling his
0:30
grandparents old house. They had lived
0:31
there for 50 years and built the house
0:33
themselves on 45 acres of land. Over the
0:36
course of their time on the property,
0:38
they had built multiple detached garages
0:40
and sheds, eight in total. While
0:42
cleaning the final garage, V Skyy's
0:45
brother bumped into a wall that sounded
0:47
suspiciously hollow to the family. They
0:50
decided to tear down the wall. And what
0:52
they found inside surprised everyone. A
0:55
mammoth safe weighing in between 1,500
0:58
and 2,000 lb. Check out this hidden old
1:01
safe and see what it is they found
1:13
inside. This safe is absolutely huge.
1:16
Getting it open was going to be quite
1:20
The safe looks extremely old, but
1:21
without the combination, you aren't
1:24
thing. The family was about to give up
1:27
and call a professional to come open the
1:29
safe. However, one of them made an
1:31
interesting discovery. V Sky caught
1:34
sight of a number written on one of the
1:36
rafters in the garage containing the
1:39
safe. The family then ran to the other
1:41
garages and found seven other numbers,
1:44
one on a rafter in each of the separate
1:46
garages. It took a while, but they
1:48
eventually were able to piece the
1:49
numbers together to make the combination
1:52
and open the safe themselves. How cool
1:55
that? Inside the safe was almost like
1:58
finding a pirates buried treasure, two
2:00
guns, a Winchester 3030 and a 410
2:02
shotgun, paper bills and treasury notes
2:05
from the pre-rohibition era, a deed to
2:08
property the family didn't even know
2:09
existed, and three very heavy cloth
2:14
This is where the real find comes in.
2:17
Inside those pouches were approximately
2:19
800 silver coins, most of which were
2:22
silver dollars. The dates on the coins
2:24
ranged from the late 1800s to as late as
2:28
1964. The family had them appraised, and
2:31
their current value to a dealer is
2:35
$15,000. My dad used to collect these
2:37
half- dollars for my brother and I when
2:40
little. 1922. Wow, this coin's really
2:45
history. The designs on these coins look
2:48
very old and give them a very antique
2:51
feel. That's a really nice looking 3030
2:54
lever actions are the best. What an
2:57
absolute amazing discovery and story for
2:59
this family to have. It makes you wonder
3:01
though, why didn't the grandparents let
3:03
someone know in the will that the safe
3:04
was there? How long had the safe even
3:06
been there? The grandparents went
3:08
through some pretty elaborate plans to
3:10
make sure that if someone was smart
3:11
enough, they could find the combination.
3:13
This is almost like a national treasure
3:15
type moment. I can only hope I find
3:17
something like this in my parents house.
