A New Jersey man named Rich Gilson was making renovations on his home when he discovered a load of cash hidden under the porch.

Gilson says he thought it was trash, but realized it was old cash.

“My wife was in there painting and I said you got to come see this, you won’t believe what I just found,” he explained.

“Either somebody robbed a bank and buried it there, or somebody didn’t trust the banks in 1934 during the height of the depression,” he said.

“He later found two tightly rolled cigar-shaped wads of cash containing $10 and $20 bills,” Fox News reports.

“Gilson said that he found over $2,000, which was said to be preserved in its original 1934 condition.”
