wish I could found cash money in my yard
Keep digging man you might solve a murder cold case who knows?
Yes dig up the whole yard.shhhhhhhhj! Don’t tell the whole world!!! Geez!!
Black folks money
That’s almost ten years worth of saving considering the average pay was 40 cents an hour
A drug dealer smuggling booze
If I lost that today I will be sick AF!
Look to me they look like saving or robbery either stealing value box?
IRS wants their cut ✂️ 😒
Not everyone money hungry good man mr and miss reporter
It’s worth 10 times face value
What’s that Address?
Why does the news do that? They just gave his location of where he lays his head SMDH. Great find though #thenewsisthedevil
Them bills are worth more than 40k now. Wow!
I know I’d do something big with that money and do my best to save and all
What a stupid asshole to call the news about it. Hope the irs gets him for capital gains
First mistake was telling his wife. LOL
These stories are always so fascinating
I just wonder what the commentator has been drinking for over eXaGerating his spelling. Out of hand, out of his mind
Wild find in Wildwood!!!
1934 10’s and 20’s are collectors. I have one of each.
Why cant reporters just speak in a normal voice by now
https://youtu.be/FX8_AiWO8Mo who killed JORGE HERNANDEz
Maybe the owner didn’t have any kin folks and had to go to the hospital
I wouldn’t tell anyone.$2000 is not a lot of money,but bills that was printed in the 30s should be checked on because they could be worth alot even one bill.CHECK THE DATES,CONDITION,SERIAL NUMBERS BEFORE TAKING IT TO A (Notaphily)paper money professional. Beware of some of them too
Well he can use it for something
Learn to keep your mouth shut!🤔🤔🤔
In 1934 gold was $35 an oz . Two thousand would be $96 900 today. But we’re taught to save cash in the bank. Two thousand today will fill your tank 20 times
What’s astounding is that we’re reading about it
$2K in 1934 cash and they give a value with inflation 😂🤣😂😂
Its still only $2k🤪
Its gone DOWN in value not up.
Dude wanted that attention he ain’t find nothing
This is why I never can keep cash around. I just spend them before they depreciate. 😁 Money is a tool of life, use it or lose it. One could buy a decent new car then, and adjusted for inflation it would have been $44225 and one can buy a decent new car today too. And had he invested in stock or real estates the number would be staggering.
And the voiceover idiot of the video is screaming as if it is $2 million find. 🙄
WOW..I thought I found money in my 1920s home but instead it was a rolled up news paper. MARK 1942 OR 1944 Front Page Korean war
I waited to see the piles and piles of cash. 🙄
That newscaster was dumb right out loud. Lol it’s only worth 43k if it had sat in a bank and accrued interest this whole time. Some of those 1934 series are worth a little more than face value on the coin collectible market but likely not in the condition found in. If the guy wanted to spend the time and effort might get 2.5-3k if his luck was right with which mint printed. He doesn’t want to spend the cash because he wouldn’t be able to prove the story? The news clip wouldn’t be enough? Guarantee there a tweaker or three that would break into his house to try and find and dig up his yard looking for more 😆
Now he gotta pay taxes on it
🤔"AND PROBABLY DOESN’T NEED IT, BUT STILL FOUND IT!"….
I love these stories. Near where I live, a couple was walking on their property when they saw a tin can barely sticking above the ground after a severe rainstorm. When they started digging, they found more cans and eventually, the total find was 117 GOLD coins, collectively worth 12+ MILLION.
This kind of thing ALWAYS happens to rich a$$holes who say, "No. I’m not gonna spend it. I’m just gonna keep it to tell the story to broke ppl! And I’m not gonna look for more…. I just wanna finish my house….I dont need it."
Hit the Lotto for $250M? "Nah…Im not quitting my job. I’m gonna keep working and let it set in the bank with my other $500M I inherited. Piss off all my co-workers who live week to week and could actually USE it."
Ok, now that I shot my shade & had my rant, good for him…that’s what’s up.😏
They didn’t Trust the Banks
WELL THAT SURE LAST THING THAT YOU EVER DO IS TELL ANOTHER MOTHER FUCKER. YOU FIND LOVE SONGS OF CASH BURIED OBVIOUSLY IT’S BEEN THERE A LONG TIME NOBODY OWNS IT NOBODY’S CLAIMING IT NOBODY HAS IT IT TAKES IT YOURS SHUT UP WHY YOU GOT TO BLOW YOUR MOUTH
Exactly
Being the bills are folded and rolled they are anything but mint and pristine but they are still collectible.
I would say grade them but they arent such good shape sell them on ebay and see what u get!
It’s worth $43,000, it’s worth 2000 grand, they said that would be the equivalent of finding $43,000 today.
Gosh congratulations!! How cool !! I’d be tearing down the house !! Lookin under there !
Aren’t the bills worth more due to their age ?
Silver notes usually hold collectors value, no ?
Breaking headline .. Homeowner robbed of cash.
Moron going on the news to tell this
Currently 47,000 people know about this.
Reminds me of me walking one day around and found a little girls powerpuff girl backpack next to a trash can.. i took it home but it was really heavy.. openend it inside and found 3.8 kilos of pure coca*ne… these days i live in the bahamas✨✨✨
