Hey guys. I'm from Connecticut near the border of Massachusetts and just saw Treasure found in an Attic in Mass. !!!!! Currency from the 1950's !! Please watch video . There are a few short ads first , so be Patient . Thank You . Local treasure hunter helps family in Western Massachusetts find hidden money | News | wfsb.com
I'm confused, why would there be lawsuits? It was their family members that hid the money in the first place.
I saw that on the local news tonight as well. Surely thought we might see Paddy on the hunt! ;-) He's not too far away from us.
You hear about these from time to time mostly in abandoned homes that have been lost and forgotten, makes you wonder if you have something like that in your home let me check...LOL
I'm doing the same thing in my dirt floor basement right now. I'm using a metal detector also. The house was built in 1911.
I use to live in a house from the 1880's (1989 to 1990) . That floor was dirt. I wish I had a detector then.
Imagine if that cash was invested back in the stock market at that time in the 1950's and assuming an average return with dividends re-invested, what the value of that $46K would be today??? And as a follow-up, what is the value of $46K from the 1950's in 2021 dollars???
How does the IRS prove that taxes had been paid on the money back then. Whose responsibility is it to search tax records to determine if the taxes were paid in the 50f's. To me, it is a gift and there are IRS regulation that gives guidance on the taxability of the money. WHY CAN'T THESE IDIOTS KEEP THEIR TRAPS SHUT? I would try to pay off the person that found the money with a sizeable amount. However, the IRS gives rewards to people that rat on others. I heard that there was a 14 year kid that got a reward for reporting that his mother wasn't paying taxes on her day care. PEOPLE ARE STOOPID!
It could be 'buried' in a treehouse. Buried is a very subjective word. Buried in a wall. Buried in the floorboards.
Hidden. You can see more videos concerning this find from the treasure hunter on Youtube: (0:56) (2:56) (35:49 - extended footage) Interesting notes about this find: -All of the notes, except perhaps a small amount of hundreds, are uncirculated -The serials on some of the notes have been blurred -There appear to be at least two straps of star notes, which is very cool What is worthy of some discussion in my view: $46,000 was found in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes. Why no twos? Sure. They're not very ubiquitous in regular circulation these days but it's said twos popularly circulated in daily commerce up into the late '60's. With so much cash being stashed in the '50's, why no $500+ denominations? The government issued these for circulation until 1969 and they were generally available at banks prior to their discontinuation; even then, they were still fairly commonly available from customer deposits throughout the '70's and into the early 80's or so. I suppose whomever assembled the notes in the box either didn't want these denominations or didn't care to ask for them. Now going back to the extended video, take a look from the 31:25 - 31:36 mark concerning the straps of twenties that are being held. Does this stand out to anyone else? You may need to increase the resolution of the video to 720P or 1080P on the cogwheel settings to get a clearer look.
