No metal detector was needed in this treasure hunt! A New Jersey man just stumbled upon piles of cash hidden beneath his Wildwood home.
Rich Gilson made the shocking discovery when was in the process of making major renovations on his Andrews Avenue home.
“I thought it was trash,” Gilson explained.
To his surprise, the homeowner had actually dug up two tightly wound cigar-shaped rolls of cash filled with 10s and 20s. Taking inflation into account, all that cash would be worth nearly $43,000.
“My wife was in there painting and I said you got to come see this, you won’t believe what I just found,” he said.
More than $2,000 dollars in cash – that’s what he found! Each bill is in pristine condition, and all minted in 1934.
“Either somebody robbed a bank and buried it there, or somebody didn’t trust the banks in 1934 during the height of the depression,” he questioned.
Believe it or not, Gilson says he’s not going to spend any of his new-found cash. To him, the $2,000 is well worth the story!
