A Couple’s Discovery While Renovating Their Basement Will Make You Question The History Of Your Own House

Waited For His Wife

When the husband took the suitcase from another corner in the basement, he noticed that it was surprisingly identical to the first one. This was a light blue vintage suitcase. Keeping control on his overwhelming curiosity, the man decided to wait for his wife while continuing the work of tearing down his ceiling in the meantime.

Another Newspaper

 “I sat and stared at it, and cleaned my precious for hours while waiting for my wife to get home,” the man explained. He could not wait to inform his wife about the new discovery that he made. Finally, when the wife came back home, it was time to reveal the contents of the second hardshell suitcase. They sat down together and excitedly tried opening the box.

More Money!

Just like their previous discovery, the two of them found another newspaper from the same year – 1951. This was again used to cover the contents of the box as a barrier. As the couple was riding their luck, it doesn’t seem that astonishing to tell that they found the second hardshell suitcase was filled up to the brim with $20 bills.

Contacted A Lawyer

The couple wanted to be smart about this. So what did they do? They contacted an estate lawyer to know more about the details of the legal aspect. On further investigation, they found out that the original owner of the house had died in the 1960s and had no descendants. This basically translated to them having full ownership of the money they found.

Great Fun

“All the money is in the bank and will be paid toward our mortgage, minus taxes. We seriously had to make an appointment and sit there and watch them count it all out. It was great fun,” the couple expressed. It was indeed a good fortune to be able to discover suitcases full of money. They would definitely get to enjoy spending this money that they did not even have to earn.

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap!

The couple ultimately decided to sell these antique bills. They ended up with an unbelievable amount of $45,000 dollars. They believe everyone reaps what they sow: “We are generally good people. We try to help others when we can. Acts of kindness go a long way.” They were convinced that it was their good nature that led them here. Have you been of any help to anyone near you today?
