Fun fact about the Padmanabhaswamy Temple: There is said to be 3 vaults and that 2 vaults have already been opened and revealed to have treasure, but the 3rd one is still sealed cause it's believed that anyone who tries to open the vault will be cursed.

A full auto Tommy Gun wrapped up in an oily towel with it's cleaning kit. Apparently my grandpa brought it home from WW2 legally. He forgot about it. Had it legalized in the early 60's. Value is $93, 000. Well, that's what he has been offered. No sale though. I did find it. There is a tooth in the butt. I asked why there was a tooth in it. " I ran out of bullets".
