First he hit glass. Then the discoveries kept on coming.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to see this to believe it!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not every day you find a time capsule into the past buried on your property, but that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

It started with digging
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It all started when the Gilson\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

First came glass.
\nWhile digging, Rich began hitting glass and encountered what he thought were root balls.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t rootballs.
\nWhen Rich looked closer, he realized what he\u2019d initially thought were root balls, was actually money wrapped in burlap<\/p>\n

There were two burlap balls with money stuffed inside of them, they had been in a glass jar that had since broken.<\/p>\n

Each burlap money ball contained rolled up $10\u2019s and $20\u2019s that amounted to $1000, and they had the date 1934 on them.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, you won\u2019t believe how much that would be in today\u2019s dollars.<\/p>\n

Twenty times the worth
\nIn 1934, $2,000 would have been a whopping $40,000 in today\u2019s money
\n80% of US dollars in existence were printed in the last 22 months! Inflation up to 7%, highest in 40 years!
\nMy hedge against inflation…Crypto Currency! Read about it, learn about it, invest in it.
\n\"\"
\nWhen Suzanne Gilson looked up the value of two thousand dollars in 1934, she couldn\u2019t believe her eyes.<\/p>\n

It was like this person was burying forty thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

But who were they?
