This Box I found during a recent home remodel
Imgur is the best place to share and enjoy the most awesome images on the Internet. I subscribe and found the following that you might find interesting.
So my family and I have been living in our house we bought some years back. The house was built in the late 40's. I am a 35 year old do-it-yourselfer so I had remodeled everything on the first and second floors when it came time to remodel the basement.
We peeled back the walls and revealed some random writing and drawings. Nothing too special here.
More interesting wall art. Here it gets a little more strange. Are those swastikas? This place was built in the late 40s?
Time to remove the ceiling now and it sucks! There is a good 1/4 inch of dust on of the ceiling. We put up plastic to keep the dust out of the rest of the house and exposed then patched the air returns first.
This is interesting. I stumbled upon a box in the ceiling. Cool! A treasure!!!
The box was covered with layers of dust...I took the box outside and the wife and kids were behind me. There is something inside but it isn't heavy like it would be if there were coins. If it were old sports cards, that could be a bonus. Removed the shoelace that was wrapped around the box.
The anticipation of what was inside was intense.
Undid the clasp and began to open. The excitement took hold of us.
The box now open revealed a couple of packages wrapped in wax paper.
Removed the items and found the inside of the box lined with newspaper pages.
The paper is dated March 25, 1951.
There are three items that are wrapped in the wax paper and we see green showing through and it sure looks like money.
The first package contained all $20 dollar bills.
We were so excited when we opened the second package that had all $50 dollar bills and the third was all $100's. What a gold mine!
Some of the bills were rarer than others. Some brown notes, a gold certificate and some star notes nearly uncirculated. All bills were from 1928-1934.
The find is a total mystery and remains that way and will forever be a mystery.
