Saving Them
Since there were literal treasures like we mentioned, Matthew was ready to get to work. He soon took the task of peeling the bills apart and leaving them to dry up. The project was going to take him a few days. Some of these money bills were savable, but then again how many could he actually save judging from the fact that they had stuck together like glue for who knows how long?
Not An Easy Task
As Matthew soon found out, it was possible for him to be able to save these newly found treasures form the safe they had just dug up. Sadly, some of the money notes were far too spoilt to be considered as legal tender. The only thing left for him to do now was to wait for these notes to dry up. When they did dry up, he did not anticipate just how much they money would amount to…
Counting Money
Spoilt or not Matthew started counting the items that were present there in the rusted box. As he counted all the money, he realized that it all added to roughly $5,000 worth of dollar bills. However, most of the money bills were too soaked and could not be saved. Even though he would not be able to use most of these note, the rest that seemed okay were now his….
Some More
Even though the cash he had collected were faded, all in all, Matthew now had with him about $16,300 in cash! Now the treasure that he discovered could finally be quantified. However, the mystery that surrounded him was far from over. There were so many things to learn about the safe still. Matthew would soon discover something truly remarkable about the safe and what it was all about.
A Suspicious Act
Although it would certainly be a rush to discover a real-life treasure, Matthew was somehow feeling suspicious about the rusted box being placed there in his backyard. He had an inkling that this was actually someone else’s belonging. Most of us would just take whatever is kept inside the safe, but Matthew had a feeling that something was not quite right. He got an answer after looking inside the box…
All That Glitters
He now wanted to take inventory of all the jewelry and riches, plus the dollar notes that had been kept inside of the safe. It was truly incredible to see that so much gold had been left there in the safe. Matthew even took his kitchen knife to measure all that there was. He found yet another surprise while he was measuring the contents of this box. There was a piece of paper inside that changed everything.
