The Zwick family from Neenah, Wisconsin, always knew there was a

metal door hidden in the ground in their backyard, but they never

dared to explore it before. Then, one day, the family decided to open

the metal hatch and see what was inside. It turned out there was a

Cold War-era fallout shelter buried in the backyard. A ladder led them

down into a bunker, which contained items from the past including

clothing, medical supplies, tools, flashlights, batteries – and other items

needed for a temporary stay in the shelter.

 

 

GOLD NUGGET

A Californian man armed with a metal detector and a shovel discovered

an 8.2-pound lump of gold in his backyard in 2011. Thanks to its

extraordinary size, the nugget was sold at auction for an incredible $460,000.

The lucky finder of the nugget remained anonymous to prevent a literal

gold rush onto his property. Geologists said the likelihood that there is

more gold on that land is 100 percent so the Californian may spend the

rest of his life digging up his backyard.

 

 

FOXES JUMPING ON A TRAMPOLINE

Yes, alligators bathing in a swimming pool are obviously not the only

animals that can enjoy human amusements. An anonymous man

recently woke up to find evidence of some strange visitors in his backyard:

a couple of adorable foxes that dug their way in overnight. The nocturnal

trespassers took advantage of the slumbering homeowners to

have some fun on the trampoline.

 

 

MARIJUANA WORTH 175,000 USD

Mack Reed from Los Angeles attempted to install solar panels in his

backyard when he found $175,000 worth of marijuana hidden underneath

a hot tub. Reed briefly considered all the money he could make from

this unexpected find, but he thought that the person who hid the drugs

would probably want it back. Instead, he reported his discovery to the

police and secured the place with a sign saying “We found it and have

called the police. They confiscated it and are now watching the place. Sorry.”

 

 

GIANT EARTHWORM

 

Chinese worker Li Zhiwei was putting some clothes to dry out in his

backyard when he saw what he thought was a snake. However, when

he took a closer look at the animal, he realized it was not a snake

but a giant, almost 20 inches (half a metre) long earthworm. Biologists

wondered why it was able to grow so long in a built-up area because

an earthworm’s size is usually closely related to its environment.

 

 

MAMMOTH BONE

In 2010, a family from Iowa were picking fruit in their wooded backyard

when they saw a white object sticking out of the ground. After

digging it out, they found out it was a femur. Scientists from a

local university later identified it as a 12,000 years old woolly mammoth bone.

When palaeontologists came to the site, they soon discovered more

bones with only the mammoth skull missing.

 

 

GRENADES AND TNT EXPLOSIVES

In May 2013, a 39-year old man from the Czech Republic wanted to dig

out some tree stumps in his backyard when he noticed there was

something under them. Disturbed by the unexpected finding, he called

the police. After excavating the mysterious objects, they found out that

the manĀ“s backyard contained tens of hand grenades and several TNT

explosives from the Second World War.

 

 

FERRARI

When digging for fun in a backyard in 1978, two kids from Los Angeles

found a Dino 246 GTS Ferrari. After excavating the car and a little

investigation, it turned out that the car had been stolen and buried

several years earlier by thieves. Oddly enough, none of the residents

who had lived in the neighbourhood in the time of the burial noticed

anything. Vanishing of the car is believed to have been a part of an

insurance scam. The thieves were to allegedly destroy the car but they

loved it so much, they decided to bury it and intended to retrieve it later.
