He also noticed all the bills were from the same year, during the Depression.
A New Jersey man excavating debris around his house last week found a wad of bills dated 1934, totaling about $1,000,Last Friday, Rich Gilson was using a mini-excavator while working on the 1920s-era home in Wildwood that he and his wife, Suzanne, bought about four years ago. He came across plenty of rocks and the old foundation when he noticed two “little round things” that were roughly two inches in diameter and three and a half inches long.
Gilson returned to working on the house on Sunday when he got a closer look at one of the objects and realized it was money. Gilson found a sort of jackpot — $10 and $20 bills, totaling $1,000. Gilson said the cash had been hidden under the porch in an area someone could have gotten to through a crawlspace.
Taking inflation into account, $1,000 in 1934 is the equivalent of more than $21,000 today. Gilson can’t say for sure, but he believes the money was acquired through shady means.
