Couple Discovers Hidden Treasure: $100G Cash Found in Muddy New York Lake!

In a twist of fate, a New York couple struck gold while magnet fishing in a Queens pond. James Kane and Barbie Agostini were enjoying their hobby at Taman Corona when they pulled up an old, mud-covered safe. Little did they know that this unassuming box held a fortune.

Upon opening the safe, Kane and Agostini were met with a sight that left them stunned: hundreds of drenched bills, estimated to be worth a whopping $100,000. The money was wrapped in plastic, but unfortunately, it had been soaked and was nearly destroyed.

Kane, a seasoned magnet fisher, had reeled in many old safes before, but this was the first time he found anything substantial inside. Agostini, initially thinking Kane was joking, soon realized the gravity of their discovery. The couple wasted no time contacting the police to avoid any legal complications.

Since there was no way to identify the likely stolen safe’s owner, authorities allowed Kane and Agostini to keep both the safe and its contents. The only catch? The bills were waterlogged and in poor condition. The NYPD confirmed that the money did not need to be handed over because its value couldn’t be determined due to the severe damage.

Kane and Agostini had taken up magnet fishing during the pandemic to combat boredom. Their YouTube channel documented their various finds, including grenades from World War II, 19th-century guns, a motorcycle, and even a wallet containing foreign coins, pearls, and gold jewels.

As the couple plans how to salvage their newfound stash, the internet buzzes with speculation. Was it a hidden treasure, a forgotten heist, or just a stroke of luck? The mystery of the muddy safe continues to captivate imaginations worldwide. Would you venture into the unknown? Let us know
