WILDWOOD – Rich Gilson found roughly $1,000 from the Great Depression buried on his property on W. Andrews Avenue July 8, NJ.com reports. After the first round, Gilson discovered nearly $1,000 more July 10.
Using a rented excavator for work on his property, Gilson unearthed wads of tightly wound $10 and $20 bills. The money was all printed in 1934, buried in a porch area accessible from a crawlspace.
Gilson told NJ.com he suspects that something suspicious was going on and that the homeowners needed to hide the money away. He doesn’t plan to spend the over $2,000 in cash. He’s asking the neighbors, who have been in the house for three generations, if they have any ideas as to the origin story for the money.
Gilson has done home renovating on many houses over the years, but he has never found anything quite as interesting.
