after seeing story after story about
0:13
hidden treasure in the walls of older
0:14
homes I'm about ready to start buying up
0:17
old properties with the hopes of finding
0:18
something amazing inside the walls
0:21
although with my kind of luck the only
0:22
things I'll be finding in the walls are
0:24
dust and probably Bones from a mouse
0:26
that couldn't make its way out in time
0:28
well the couple years about to read
0:30
about has much better luck than I do
0:33
they moved into their home about 2 years
0:35
ago which was purchased as a fixer upper
0:38
they started working on each room then
0:40
once that room was done they'd move on
0:41
to the next it was time for them to
0:43
remodel the kitchen they know that their
0:46
house had had six previous owners here's
0:49
what they
0:58
found well REM modeling their kitchen
1:01
they found a safe in the floor after
1:03
they tore out the kitchen island the
1:05
safe looked relatively old and was built
1:07
into the floor really well when they
1:09
first moved in they found a safe code in
1:11
a medicine cabinet they weren't sure
1:13
what the code belonged to but held on to
1:16
it just in case the safe looked to be
1:18
about 10 to 20 years old and after
1:20
trying to open it a few times it finally
1:22
unlocked when they open the safe they
1:24
stood there in disbelief they felt as if
1:27
time had stopped they were staring at
1:30
piles of money an old bottle of liquor a
1:32
blue book and what appeared to be an old
1:34
bingo card her husband was a little
1:37
hesitant about reaching in for the items
1:39
in case the safe was booby trapped
1:41
luckily for them the safe was not booby
1:43
trapped inside was about
1:45
$50,000 mostly in $100 bills when they
1:48
counted it it ended up being $51,000 180
1:52
this bottle of James E pepper was also
1:54
found in the safe per Wikipedia it's
1:57
credited as being the inventor of the
1:59
oldfashioned which is basically whiskey
2:02
bitters a sugar cube and a lemon peel
2:04
although there are a lot of variations
2:06
out there the seal was still intacted
2:08
and the seal stated that the tech stamp
2:10
was 1960 aged 6 years from the looks of
2:14
it this whiskey is top-notch and
2:16
extremely rare to find the book was
2:19
titled a guide for the perplexed by EF
2:23
Schumacher it was published in
2:25
1977 when they opened the book they
2:27
found a picture of Gregory peek but upon
2:30
further examination it appears the book
2:33
was trying to give them some Clues
2:35
specifically on pages 1 7 11 and 14 on
2:41
the back of the picture there was a note
2:42
that read alen I have a book you must
2:45
read I've underlined a few key passages
2:48
your friend Vincent when they got to
2:51
page seven they found a map of Arizona
2:54
it looked like a bookmark at first but
2:55
it wasn't this was more of a flash card
2:58
that had an X over the city of Mesa
3:01
which is just outside of Phoenix the
3:03
front of the card had an outline of
3:05
Arizona which was highlighted in green
3:07
amongst the other Mountain States on
3:10
page seven they found a passage that had
3:12
been underlined it was located in the
3:14
chapter titled on philosophical maps The
3:17
Passage read one way of looking at the
3:20
world as a whole is by means of a map
3:23
that is to say some sort of plan or
3:26
outline that shows where various things
3:28
are to be found next up was page 11
3:31
there was a picture of a house or an old
3:33
estate with the sentence underline that
3:35
said there yielded such fruitful results
3:39
they found another picture that had been
3:41
stored in the book and on the back of
3:42
the photo it read where one tree becomes
3:46
three this is almost sounding like a
3:48
treasure hunt of sorts they're not sure
3:51
what this photo is of or where this
3:53
three-headed tree may be hopefully
3:55
someone can help them next up was page
3:57
14 they found another underlined passage
4:00
that read most modern readers will be
4:03
reluctant to believe that perfect
4:05
happiness is attainable by methods of
4:08
which their modern world knows nothing
4:11
there are three numbers circled on the
4:12
bingo card that was found her husband
4:14
pointed out that the safe that they
4:16
found in their house has a three-digit
4:18
code so maybe the three numbers on the
4:20
bingo card are to the safe near the
4:23
three-headed tree they haven't decided
4:25
what to do with the money yet but they
4:27
do know that the note on the back of the
4:29
picture was addressed to alen so if alen
4:31
sees this there's your cash but they
4:34
have said they're keeping the Jamesy
4:36
pepper
4:37
whiskey this is such an amazing find not
4:40
only did they find the safe but it gave
4:42
them something to keep an eye out for
4:44
where is this three-headed tree what is
4:46
the meaning behind the underlined
4:47
passages in the book and why are there
4:50
three numbers on this bingo card the way
4:52
they stacked it up in the safe means
4:54
that they wanted it to be kept for very
4:56
safekeeping whoever placed it there did
4:59
not not want it to get messed up in any
5:01
way I hope in the future there's a
5:03
followup to this story because it's
5:05
pretty amazing
