The Most Insane Backyard Finds Ever!

while spending time in your backyard you might have fantasized about finding buried treasure or maybe you just wanted to complete that tunnel to the other side of the world your mom wouldn't let you finish when you were kid but many people have actually found crazy things in their backyard from World War two bombs to sacks of cash prepare to be amazed by this list of the top ten most insane backyard finds a bag see number 10 cursed cash in 2011 an unemployed Illinois man named Wayne Sabah's was out picking broccoli in his backyard when he found something green but it wasn't broccoli it was one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash well who wouldn't rather have cashed in broccoli right so Boz did the right thing and turned the money over to the police with the understanding that it would be returned to him if no one claimed it by 2012 shortly after an elderly neighbor of his claimed she got rid of the cash because it was cursed apparently she realized how crazy that sounded and wanted it back but then she died and the court decided to give the money to her daughter with a portion going to Sabah's sadly just ten days before he was to get his cut he died maybe that curse story wasn't so crazy after all number nine perfectly preserved Roman villa a man named Luke Irwin of Wiltshire England was laying electric cable in a backyard barn so his kids could play table tennis thing when he uncovered what looked like a mosaic he sent a photo to the local council and by the next day archaeologists were crawling all over his backyard it turned out he'd on earth the well-preserved Roman villa thought to be one of the largest ever found in England the original house was dated to between 175 and 228 D and is believed to have been about three stories tall archaeologists also found high-status pottery coins and animal bones likely from a meal the owners of the home were probably very wealthy no word on whether the kids ever got to play that game of table tennis though number eight ten million dollars in gold coins let's be honest we've all dreamed of finding buried treasure but for one Sierra Nevada couple that dream came true the pair who wished to remain anonymous to prevent other treasure seekers from ever running their home were walking their dog in their backyard one day in 2013 while their dog was finding the perfect place to be they noticed the top of a rusty canister poking out of the ground after unearthing it they discovered it held many gold discs so they rushed home to examine them it turned out they were almost perfectly preserved gold coins from the 1890s the couple later found eight more cans with coins that had a face value of around $27,000 given the antique status of the coins and the fact that many were in uncirculated condition plus inflation the coins were valued at around 10 million dollars strangely the u.s. men couldn't link the coins to any theft on record number 7 extinct creatures in November of 2014 Eric Witzke and his neighbor were hanging out in Eric's backyard when they noticed something sticking out of the ground at first they thought they found a dinosaur bone but it was later identified as a prehistoric Mastodon the cousin of the woolly mammoth a paleontologist from the University of Michigan examined the bone and noted that it showed signs of butchering so it may have been eaten by an early paleo-indian resident of the land meanwhile as a Fulk man came across an interesting bone while building a fence in his backyard in 1997 he tossed it in a shed and forgot about it for 16 years when he eventually took it to a local museum experts there discovered it belonged to apply a sword a reptile that lived about 250 million years ago interestingly the playas or was not native to the English Sea and no one is sure exactly how it wound up in the backyard number 6 world war two bombs some people just weren't cut out to be city planners this was apparently the case with whoever decided to build a neighborhood over a world war two bombing range in Orlando Florida since 1998 residents have been finding bombs and rockets in the backyards of their homes in a housing development built over the site one was even found near a running track at a local school more than a hundred explode have been found and the Army Corps of Engineers has launched a large-scale cleanup of the area bombs have been found even more commonly around Europe with multiple still being unearthed today especially around London and parts of Germany in fact last Christmas more than 50,000 residents from the German city of Augsburg were greeted with the present of an unearthed bomb forcing them to evacuate their home so that could be defused number five alien-like creature probably a dear fetus in 2015 California resident and avid social media user Gianna pop onus found a strange creature in her backyard guarded unsure what it was she recalled seeing strange lights in the sky and hearing something like a scream shortly before she found the pink slimy thing the bone has uploaded a picture and spread it all over the internet with many people commenting that it was an alien while others thought it was a miscarried cow or deer fetus most eventually settled on the ladder for an explanation with Snopes rating the story as false and agreeing it was likely the deer fetus the US Navy later said the strange lights reported that night were due to a missile test to be fair if it was an alien and a team needed to phone home it would have been stuck here forever since the clonus would have been using her phone to post pictures of it on social media number four a gold nugget and a valuable meteor the gold rush on California may have ended in the 1800s but it's still occasionally possible to find gold there in 2011 a man was poking around his backyard with a metal detector when he found an 8.2 pound gold nugget this massive piece of gold sold for four hundred and sixty thousand dollars with the owner asking to remain anonymous to keep treasure hunters off his property it's a clever move since experts say it's extremely likely there is more gold in his backyard meanwhile some need not bother to search for the treasure it just lands in their garden one serbian man living in bosnia claims he was being attacked by aliens after six different meteorites hit his house hopefully he kept them because depending on their size and composition some can be worth up to $25 a gram 1/2 ton meteor found in Chelyabinsk for instance was put up for auction at 3.4 million pounds of course if you see one land you could just use it to lie your cigarette as David Stevenson of Leeds did last year when a meteor landed in his backyard after the proceeded shower number three a bill for $5,000 and an Aboriginal skeleton many of the people on this list got lucky and found money or other valuables in their backyards Watford Kenna Nicole saw their find went the other way ken found some bones in his yard while digging a fence post he thought they belonged to an animal and wanted to forget about them but Nicole nagged him to find the rest of the bones eventually they uncovered a skeleton that a local forensic anthropologists identified as that of an Aboriginal woman who had died about 400 years earlier at that point the Registrar of cemeteries told the couple to have their backyard assessed by an archaeologist at a cost of about five thousand dollars to them appeals to their mayor went nowhere but eventually a member of the provincial Parliament urged them to declare the bill an undue financial restraint in the hopes the Registrar would reimburse them for the cost all of which could have been avoided if Ken had just ignored his wife and kept digging those fence posts number to one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in weed Mac Reed of Silver Lake California was just trying to be a responsible citizen and install eco-friendly solar panels on his home during the installation he opened an underground access vault below his hot tub for a technician to inspect at which point he found an army green bag stuffed with marijuana and hash all carefully bagged and tagged he had missed - considering the resale value of the drugs but after also considering the drug lords who might be coming back to the bag he eventually decided to do the right thing and report his fine to the police when he called the cops said they were really busy and asked if he could just drive the bag to the station Reed explained that he didn't think driving to the PD with 20 pounds of drugs in his car was a broad idea and eventually they found a supervisor to come out and confiscate the find concerned about the criminals who might come back and find the drugs missing he put a poster over the access door explaining he called the cops and they were now watching the place number one a Ferrari lots of kids like to dig in the backyard most just find earthworms and if you're really lucky a couple of mud encrusted penny but in 1978 to Los Angeles kids found a 1978 Dino 246 GTS Ferrari no not a matchbox car version but the real life-sized caller local police helped excavate the car and discovered it was reported stolen four years earlier and buried by thieves strangely no one living in the neighborhood at the time noticed anything unusual like say a neighbor digging a car sized hole in the backyard police returned the car to the insurance agency that had paid the claim after it was stolen and it was put up for auction we assumed it was advertised as recently cleaned and detailed eventually the cops received a tip that the whole thing was an insurance scam the owner paid thieves to steal the car hence the parts and destroy the rest but they pulled a fast one and buried the car to come back for it later what's the strangest thing you've ever found in a backyard I'd be interested to know so please let me know in the comments below also if you
