Inside the safe, Evil English initially found a pile of bricks surrounded by water, a result of a pipe burst that had flooded the ground floor years ago. As he removed the bricks, he uncovered an entire time capsule filled with items from the 1930s, including a coin book from 1937 in near-pristine condition, protected from the water by the layers of bricks.
Evil English’s grandparents had been avid collectors. His grandfather had a significant collection of pistols and sports memorabilia, while his grandmother was a keen coin collector. The safe contained not only coin books and various coins but also pure silver bars and an old box filled with jewelry and pocket watches.
Social media users offered advice on how to restore the water-damaged items, and Evil English had to decide whether to sell the collection or keep it as a reminder of his grandparents. The discovery turned out to be a treasure trove, not just in terms of monetary value but also as a link to his family’s history and passions.
As Evil English and his brother continued to clear the house, they found another safe hidden in a coffee table, filled with their grandfather’s pistol collection and rare bar notes issued during Joseph W. Barr’s brief tenure as the Secretary of the Treasury.
