A couple has found a treasure trove worth approximately $100,000, roughly equivalent to N133 million, while magnet fishing.
The couple from New York have been identified as James Kane and Barbie Agostini.
Magnet fishing involves using a powerful neodymium magnet attached to a fishing rod to retrieve metal objects from bodies of water.
Little did they anticipate that their routine excursion would lead them to uncovering a safe filled to the brim with cash.
According to reports, the couple had embarked on their magnet fishing expedition with the usual expectation of finding common metal objects submerged in the lake.
However, their routine activity took a thrilling turn when their magnet latched onto something much larger and heavier than the usual fare.
To their surprise, they hauled up a safe containing a substantial sum of money.
In an exclusive interview with NY1, James Kane remarked nonchalantly;
“We have found plenty of safes before, this is just what a magnet fisher does.”
Kane and Agostini went on to reveal that this isn’t the first time they’ve stumbled upon intriguing items during their fishing trips.
According to them, their hobby has led them to discover various items over time, including jewelry, watches, small pistols, and even old subway tokens from New York City.
