accidentally unearthed a set of rare bones while they're digging a backyard pool for a client in las vegas the workers only dug until four to five feet below ground level and they immediately discovered the fossil at first the workers thought that a large animal like a horse was buried in the garden but once the fossil was analyzed by the folks at the nevada science center they were again surprised to hear that the bones actually belonged to a dinosaur the creature probably lived somewhere between 6 000 to 14 000 years ago according to experts the sediment layers of the area may have been ice age layers which explains the existence of the rare fossil it was definitely a pleasant surprise for the owners of the area which claimed that they even joked about the workers finding a rare fossil that could pay the expense for the pool construction and they actually did before we go on like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now number 14 150 000 cursed money in 2011 a man who was just digging for some dinner veggies found more than enough for a humble dinner the incident occurred in a carpenter's home in illinois he found a staggering 150 thousand dollars in his garden he found the money stashed inside a nylon bag and when he found it he immediately went to the police and claimed that it wasn't his many commended the man for his honesty and he left the police station with the understanding that if the money was not claimed by anyone by the end of 2012 the money would be his none immediately claimed ownership of the money until 87 year old delores johnson in a naperville liquor store stepped up and staked their claim over the money however after a few months of claiming the money johnson passed away with the recounts claiming that the money she got was cursed in an unlucky turn of events the original finder's son died due to a cardiac arrest months after he found the money do you really think the 150 000 bag was cursed or was it just another tragic coincidence number 13 million dollar door stopper now this isn't really much of a find but it's still astounding nonetheless this bust sculpture was just used as a door stopper in a garden shed for years no one noticed its real value i mean not everyone can easily appraise the value of an artwork and there are some beautiful door stopper statues out there that can easily be confused as valuable however this door stopper is actually a bust statue of sir john gordon a laird and a nobleman this statue was created in the 18th century by esteemed sculptor edme bouchard who would have thought that you'll find a masterpiece on the floor of a garden shed when a worker noticed the statue they immediately reported it to the authorities and they were shocked when they were informed that the statue has a value of over a million dollars thankfully after more than 300 years of being passed over and eventually being used as a door stopper the statue was

ever dreamt of stumbling on a treasure that can possibly make you instantly rich then this story is for you while some people travel all around the world in search of gold this couple only needed to find their very own treasure in their backyard apparently the couple routinely walked their dog on the property in the gold country and on one particular day they noticed the top of a decaying canister poking out of the ground curious and intrigued they dug the canister out and took it to their house not really expecting much of it when they first opened it they saw discs covered in dust but when they brushed and cleaned the dust and grime away they were shocked these items weren't just merely discs they're actually perfectly preserved 20 gold coins with liberty head designs on the front these coins date back from the 1890s and they're extremely valuable the couple quickly ran back to the same spot and after another round of digging they found a total of eight cans containing 1427 coins they were all dated from 1847 to 1894 and because they were made of gold that doesn't corrode they were in mint condition terrified that treasure hunters would soon gather in their property if they caught wind of the discovery the couple kept a low profile and only seek guidance from a local coin expert after a few months the coins were posted on amazon while a few of them were sold to reputable coin collectors all of the coins they found can easily bag them 10 million dollars this couple is certainly lucky you just walk the dog and you get 10 million dollars free number 11 diamond ring and carrot nature can be quite funny sometimes and this is one of those instances mary graham's aged 84 lost her diamond ring while weeding on the family farm in alberta in 2004. she informed none of the family about her ring's disappearance for more than a decade afraid that it'll break their heart instead she got a cheaper replacement ring and acted as if nothing happened but i guess nature decided that she'll help keep the ring safe and help them find the ring i guess it's true that no secret stays unknown after 13 years her daughter-in-law entered their house with surprise and amusement written all over her face in her hand was a carrot with a diamond ring in the middle as it turns out the carrot had grown straight through the ring the carrot had an odd shape because of the

claimed that had her husband been alive he would have found the entire situation funny number 10. buried ferrari when you buy a luxury car it's normal to take care of it so how on earth did a ferrari car get buried underground the story goes like this a few children were playing in the dirt in a homeowner's yard when they suddenly discovered something hard buried shallow in the ground curious they immediately alerted the sheriff's deputies when they decided to dig and find out what the buried item was they were astounded when they saw a 1974 dino 246 gts in relatively good condition according to reports the car was apparently stolen in 1974 and the car was buried by the thieves but after a few days a new story surfaced and apparently the original owner plumber rosendo cruz actually tried to commit insurance fraud with the supposed thieves he talked with the thieves to make the car disappear and he claimed the insurance money of the car the thieves originally planned to take the dino to a chop shop where it would be taken apart and sold separately by parts but instead they hid the whole car to dig it up for later unfortunately for them they forgot where they buried the car once the car was uncovered the businessman purchased the car and had it restored aside from a vintage ferrari he also acquired a car with a very interesting backstory number 9 graveyard imagine you're just doing some yard work when you suddenly uncover something creepy how would you feel if you discovered several graves in your backyard i would be very terrified for sure this is the story of an unidentified man living in omaha he was just working in his yard when he suddenly uncovered not one but several headstones it certainly is a grim discovery at the time he just bought the house and he didn't know what to expect initially he thought that he just dug up a few erected stones and he didn't really expect that he would uncover a whole headstone he just kept digging and digging and before he knew it he uncovered a whole grave site apparently his newly bought property is more than a hundred years old and originally there was a gravesite in this yard but it was covered after years of neglect the whole property was covered with concrete bricks dirt and tree branches the oldest headstone in the area dates back to 1926 the omaha man immediately called the authorities to inform them of his literal grave discovery number eight one thousand-year-old human remains a fourteen-year-old boy in utah was just digging a trout pond in his father's salt lake city home when he stumbled across a grim discovery after digging six feet into the ground the boy found human bones initially the boy thought that he was just uncovering animal bones until he discovered a human skull at this point he told his dad about his discovery who then contacted the local officials the bones also belonged to a very special human being it's the remains of a native american person that lived more than 1 000 years ago the local officials immediately claimed that the boy luckily found an important archaeological site that contains the remains of native americans the boy was happy about his discovery but he expressed that he kept remembering the human skull he dug out of the garden he even remembered it as he fell asleep number 7 whale fossil this boulder looks normal for many of us and even i wouldn't be able to determine that there's a whale fossil lodged inside this huge rock at first glance but gary johnson noticed something when he first saw this rock more than 50 years ago he first spotted this boulder in their house's yard when he was just a teenager but he thought nothing much out of it he forgot about the rock until 50 years later when authorities celebrated the discovery of a million-year-old fossil of a sperm whale uncovered in the nearby school johnson immediately notified the authorities regarding the boulder he had forgotten the authorities immediately uncovered the 1 000 pound rock using pulleys and a steel trolley the whole crew pulled the fossil up a steep backyard slope into a truck to transport it to the museum after studying the fossil the museum found out that it was actually a 17 million year old baleen whale fossil what's more astounding is that this is only one of the 20 baleen fossils known to exist today there are still baleen whales living out there in the ocean and the creatures in the fossils that we found are their million-year-old ancestors number six weapons this couple in west valley phoenix discovered a different kind of treasure in their backyard while people discovered gold and ancient coins in their backyard they discovered a cache of automatic weapons buried next to their garden wall the homeowners originally were digging a hole for a tree but instead of just dirt they discovered a duffel bag and when they opened it they discovered rusted rifles and handguns it's a pretty amazing discovery but it's also terrifying at the same time according to the family they have been living in the house for four years already although prior to that the house stayed vacant for a year they suspect that perhaps the duffel bag was buried in the property around this time neighbors expressed their fear and wariness about the uncovered firearms you'd really wonder who buried them what was their motive and if they even got their chance to use them the authorities immediately came to the house to retrieve the firearms they immediately got to work investigating whether these firearms were somehow used for a crime number 5 world war ii bombs there are still sites all over the world that are restricted from public access because of the presence of unexploded bombs and landmines the problem with these explosives is that you'll never know they're buried underground until you detonate them by that time you'll already be injured because of the huge explosion the sheer force and power of bombs is enough to make people wary even from world war ii bombs that look like it's too rusted and old to detonate this couple in particular were quite alarmed when they discovered this world war ii era japanese bomb in their yard in missouri at first they didn't know what they discovered and so she took the object inside the house to wash the mud and dirt off she quickly noticed the japanese engravings on the surface of the item at some point the couple disclosed that they even tried to use a steak knife to try and clean the item but midway they quickly stopped in horror when they realized that the thing might have been a bomb after a quick search online they confirmed their suspicions the couple contacted the jefferson county sheriff's department for help the bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives responded to the scene as well as the air force the couple realized the severity of the situation further when the authority secured the area and the couple was forced to stay inside their home to be safe should the bomb explode the surrounding area was investigated by the authorities and they were more horrified when the authorities informed them about the status of the bomb even in its old rusted state the bomb wasn't just a shell it still contained a 500 foot blast power it wasn't just a mere shell just imagine if they weren't as lucky things could have ended up very differently the authorities immediately removed the bomb from the property all the while emphasizing the danger of the situation to the couple and now it's time for today's topic with all the outrageous things people found in their homes in the last couple of entries let's pause and take a look at this picture if this picture is true then this is certainly one of the most insane things found in a person's backyard this looks like some sort of bomb shelter or a buried facility there's a huge possibility that this may be an underground survival bunker it really isn't uncommon to find one nowadays with all the talk of the doom and gloom impending to hit our planet many people want to be prepared should an apocalypse really occur one of the easiest ways to ensure that you'll survive is having an underground bunker that'll keep you safe inside this buried space you'll have enough food water medical supplies and it's guaranteed that you'll be safe from falling bombs artillery or other attacks your food and water supply is bound to run out but the bunker ensures that you'll live long enough until help arrives hopefully what do you think of this photo as always comment down below with the hashtag today's topic and let us know your opinion about what we just showed on screen with that said let's keep things moving number four bomb shelter in 2015 many were astounded when a homeowner in arizona reported that he found a supposed cold war era fallout shelter hidden right under his backyard the news was first posted in an online forum he posted that he found a 1960s nuclear fallout shelter after receiving a tip from the previous owner of the house in tucson arizona he wasn't disappointed when he did find a nuclear shelter after digging around the area the shelter was apparently built in 1961 by a company named whitaker pools as you can see in the photo the circular entrance was easily noticeable and the hatch was even placed upside down much of the shelter is rusted and it isn't in good condition anymore some of the steps towards the bunker even fell down after clearing the entrance of the shelter the owner quickly explored the dome he discovered that the shelter was made out of concrete and at a fiberglass ceiling unlike what he was originally expecting he found no furniture or supplies inside the shelter but according to him he wants to restore the whole shelter and store equipment and provisions inside amidst the cold war specifically between the 1960s and the 1980s people lived in constant fear and paranoia about the intercontinental ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads suddenly hitting near their houses because of this people who were capable enough prepared bomb shelters to keep them safe number three prehistoric bones from ancient whale fossils let's take a look at this huge mastodon fossil that was discovered in a homeowner's backyard in michigan authorities caught wind of an alleged dinosaur bone buried in a backyard and when they arrived on the scene and saw a massive rib bone sticking out from the ground they knew that they hit the jackpot the bone looked prehistoric but it turns out that it wasn't just a dino bone it was the bone of a mastodon it's an animal that existed in the ice age these creatures are distant relatives of modern day elephants that lived more than 10 000 years ago overall the team spent more than four days of careful digging just to safely recover the mastodon bone according to them the discovery was just pure luck and it's amazing how they even managed to uncover something amazing the authorities believed that there could still be hundreds of mastodon bones in the area with most of them between more than ten thousand to fifteen thousand years old number two cannonball kids love digging and exploring they're very curious about anything and everything so it's no wonder that they notice a lot of things although not every kid has the opportunity to discover something as amazing as a historic cannonball dating back to the civil war a ten-year-old kid from southwell in nottinghamshire was surprised when he found a cannonball while he was digging a deep hole in his garden the kid's father originally uprooted a tree in the area which left the huge hole the round rusted object can't be identified by the father and son duo at first and so they took it to a nearby archaeological resource center where historians were able to identify what it really was what they originally thought was nothing important turned out to be a tragic but important piece of history the cannonball was made out of iron and it weighed roughly eight pounds during the war these cannons would have been fired by a four-bore cannon surely this experience became one of the child's core and happy memories the kid was really ecstatic when they went to the museum and they saw a whole drawer of similar cannonballs i guess this little discovery sparked an interest for history and archaeology for the kid number one gold coins sometimes investing in a metal detector is more than worth it in 2021 a man discovered something amazing in his backyard while using his metal detector what he found was the largest ever hall of anglo-saxon gold coins he probably expected to find something valuable but not this much the man first uncovered a few but over the course of 30 years the unidentified man managed to find 131 coins the man first found a coin around 1990 then he discovered more between 2014 and 2020 among the coins he found were frankish ancient coins from 580 a.d to 630 a.d some roman coins two gold pendants two pieces of gold a gold bar and a few gold pieces of jewelry he really did get lucky in his fine even though the metal detectorist managed to get the gold coins the fate of the treasures were still up to the local coroner if the coroner decides that it belongs to the crown it would be sold to the local museum with the support of the british museum i guess it's not finders keepers
