ShivamEasy To Lift
The owners decided to end the suspense by deciding to take it out and open it. Surprisingly, the box didn’t require much effort to lift as it was very light, but they were sure of one thing that it was not empty. There was definitely something in it.
Toy Banana
After taking it out, the couple used a toy banana for scale. “We took the box outside. It had something inside, but nothing heavy like coins or gold bars. I thought I might get lucky, though,” one of the owners recalled.
Started Guessing
Judging the condition of the house, the pair were waiting to witness some antiques.“We were starting to guess a lot at this point. My wife thought we would find some old recipes, I thought we might discover some vintage sports cards”, the owner said.
Opened The Box
After speculating about the contents of the box, the couple finally decided to bring an end to it by gathering the courage to open it. Their spirit steeply dropped when they noticed that the box wasn’t that special as they had expected. Evidently, it contained nothing apart from an old newspaper, which unluckily for them, was also not that special.
Why This?
The only possible reason that they could think of finding the newspaper in that bag was, that it might have been used in order to protect and preserve something of more valuable and significant nature.
Really Old…
They decided to gather more insight into the newspaper. Consequently, taking a closer look, they found out that the newspaper was dated March 25, 1951. Seeing this, they deduced that the box might have been concealed by the original owner himself. “The date on the newspaper must be near the time the box was hidden,” the owners said.
