First he hit glass. Then the discoveries kept on coming.

We’ve all seen it in the movies, someone who buries a stash of money during tough times, with hopes of coming back to retrieve it in the future.

Turns out, it happens in real life, which this couple in South Jersey learned first-hand when they dug up money dating back almost 100 years in their front yard.

You’ll have to see this to believe it!

It’s not every day you find a time capsule into the past buried on your property, but that’s exactly what kind of day it was for Rich Gilson and his wife Suzanne when they found something interesting in their front yard this past July.

It started with digging

It all started when the Gilson’ decided to excavate their front yard last month, with no idea that they were about to unearth a piece of history in the form of old money.

First came glass.
While digging, Rich began hitting glass and encountered what he thought were root balls.

They weren’t rootballs.
When Rich looked closer, he realized what he’d initially thought were root balls, was actually money wrapped in burlap

There were two burlap balls with money stuffed inside of them, they had been in a glass jar that had since broken.

Each burlap money ball contained rolled up $10’s and $20’s that amounted to $1000, and they had the date 1934 on them.

In the year 1934, the Great Depression would have been in full swing, which puts into perspective how important something like this would have been to someone back then.

Not to mention, you won’t believe how much that would be in today’s dollars.

Twenty times the worth
In 1934, $2,000 would have been a whopping $40,000 in today’s money
80% of US dollars in existence were printed in the last 22 months! Inflation up to 7%, highest in 40 years!
My hedge against inflation…Crypto Currency! Read about it, learn about it, invest in it.

When Suzanne Gilson looked up the value of two thousand dollars in 1934, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

It was like this person was burying forty thousand dollars.

But who were they?
