This plumber could not believe it. He had been digging through the rubble of a bathroom in renovation when he actually struck gold. He saw a shiny object and grabbed it. Imagine his shock when he found a gold brick! Even though it was worth $50,000, he decided to be honest and returned it to the owners.

Here is an interesting story. These contractors had been working on a renovation project in Arizona when they found $500,000 stashed in military ammunition containers. The contractors wanted to claim the cash as theirs, but the homeowners had put up a legal fight over the money. In the end, the money did not go to either of them. The court ruled that it was the rightful property of the heirs of whoever hid the money there in the first place. Robert Spann was the man who did so, but he passed away 11 years before the discovery of the cash. This was the reason his two daughters got it instead.
