A New Jersey man excavating debris around his house accidentally unearthed $1,000 worth of bills all dated to the year 1934.

A New Jersey man excavating debris around his house stumbled upon a mystery last week when he accidentally unearthed $1,000 worth of bills all dated to the year 1934.

It rained the next day, and when Gilson resumed his excavation work Sunday, he could see the two objects more clearly and realized they were tightly wound wads of old $10 and $20 bills, totaling around $1,000. “It was pretty shallow, too,” Gilson said. “Somebody had to crawl under there and dig a hole in that crawl space.”“Every bill is dated 1934, Series A, which I thought was strange,” he said. “If you go in your pocket right now and look at your bills … they’re not all the same year. It just doesn’t happen that way.”
