I sure as heck wouldn't tell the news or anybody.

Rick from Pawn Stars was interested in the $2000.00 in old bills he said $100.00 was the best he can do.

[amunra]

$2k in 1934 was almost enough to buy a house.

[bigunk]

All in pristine condition 😂 ummmm are we looking at the same bills

[THEHEAVYSPITTERSDVD]

Shiiiit I be digging around there all week 😂😂

It doesn't mean the money was buried in 1934, it could be any decade after that.

Imagine hoarding your life's savings for 90 years and then realizing it not even enough to pay the rent for one month. Thanks, Congress and Federal Reserve.

When my great grandparents passed away and they started going through their house they found money in paintings, coffee cans, under the carpet. All to the equivalent of about $50, 000.

1934 they didnt trust the banks and 2024 we still dont trust the banks😂😂😂

I seriously doubt the original owners are still around to complain or contest the find.

[WinningJesse]

That’s mine sir, I left it there. I’m coming by tonight to retrieve it, thanks.

[MilePost]

I would have never told the media or anyone. Matter of fact, I wouldn’t let the media touch it!!!

[jrl]

Why cant reporters just speak in a normal voice by now

[zahirmurji]

Piles and piles of cash. Guy found two rolls worth $2000.00 and not piles and piles.

[nychris]

Just because the bills are 1934 bills doesnt mean they were buried in 1934

[tonywalker]

Someone from the 30’s/40’s sure wish they hadn’t buried that money.

[KingKing-lzvo]

That's almost ten years worth of saving considering the average pay was 40 cents an hour

[westondaniel]

If that person would have stashed gold instead of cash the new owner would be a millionaire!
