    Methinks the lesson here is DO NOT put your safe in the ground, in the basement, where it can hold water. Other than that, im sure he landed a nice score. Hope my grandkids do the same

    I kinda followed this on Reddit as they posted periodically. What puzzles me is how they fit all that stuff in what looks like a tiny floor safe - at least the lid makes it look small. Would the size of the safe have been much larger than the lid??? how'd they get all that stuff in there?

    I went to view this video and of course there was a commercial at the beginning. It seems like these commercials which I first noticed a few months ago are all over now. When I go to You Tube I get commercials at the beginning of a video. When on Facebook, where my friends write, there is a commercial between posts. Is there a way to eliminate the commercials and just go straight to the videos?

    If I discovered a treasure like that I certainly would not broadcast it to the world (for a number of reasons).

    I hope that the coins are properly conserved. It would be unfortunate if someone took the coins from their holders & cleaned them with silver polish.

    I can't think of a better example of how not to store your coins...or anything for that matter. Granny might as well have stored them in the septic tank.
