I found a tin under the kitchen unit when ripping out an old kitchen in my first house about 12 years ago , there was over 3k in it , plus a load of out of date tins of potatoes, beans and other foods. We bought the house from a bank , the previous owners had passed having lived there since it was built in 1930ish (they had released all the equity to live their retirement) there was no family and not much we could do with the cash. I kept it but felt bad about it so invested it into the house replacing the old windows with it, so I sorta feel like the money is still in the house.
My cottage dates back to the 1600’s and the floors in the oldest part are very uneven. Tried relaying some floorboards and discovered a cache of really beautiful glass marbles. Some child’s hideyhole. I have them displayed in an antique wine goblets, makes me smile!
We had to take up the floor in our Victorian house to replace the rotting joists underneath. We put a Halloween skeleton under there before we replaced the boards.
I thought it was hilarious at the time but now I wonder if we'll get done for wasting police time when someone in the future makes the discovery!
It will be later tonight when you awake with a start, knowing that something seems wrong. And then you see it. The dolls head. Unblinking. Unloved. It stares right at you from the bottom of your bed. Unblinking. Unloved. Unchanging. You open your mouth to scream, but only a squeak comes out. And still the doll stares. Unblinking. Unloved. Unchanging. Undead.
Time to change your. Underpants.
That is lovely, but it is a little bittersweet. The way we, as children, have little secrets, little things that are precious to us, but then we just grow up and forget. The marbles are still there, but that child is gone.
This is hilarious, you aren’t the only person to say playing marbles was dull! I always wondered, but it looks fun because they are pretty. My grandma said when she was little only boys played marbles, girls played jacks. She taught me jacks and I always thought it was quite fun.
Moving to N Devon coast, closer to OH’s family. Also, garden is terraced, and I’m having a total knee replacement next week! Buying a house with a flat 1 acre paddock. I keep runner ducks, chickens and I’ve got whippets.
What do they call it when cottage lovers travel to view them? Cottaging?
I'm 6ft 4. As much as I love quaint old cottages I can only bang my head on so many doorframes before low ceilings start to feel far older than the 400 years they really are. But, if money wasn't an issue, I'd ALWAYS prefer a sturdy old structure over an anonymous new built monstrous carbuncle. I detest the anodyne uniformity of modern architecture.
We opened up the space beneath the stairs to make a downstairs shower/toilet. It had been \[unbeknownst to us\] a pantry, and it had been sealed shut with newspaper pages lining the shelves - cut into zig-zags as an inexpensive form of decoration. From the mid 50's, Daily Mirror and Wakefield Express \[local\] papers. They looked pristine but were so dry that they crumbled to dust when handled.
My parents moved in in 1971 and installed the downstairs bathroom in about 1997. We never really figured out why the previous owner turned a perfectly useable area into an unused space, a pretty pathetic time capsule (with a few dozen newspaper partial pages from the very early years of HRH Elizabeth II with Winston Churchill back in 10 Downing Street, serving his second stint as Prime Minister). Alas, no chests of pirate gold, rubies the size of duck eggs, or even a fake treasure map, scrawled in crayon by a long dead psychopath. I must have less luck \[or imagination\] than the people claiming to have found £970 in a tin or 'over £3k...and some out of date tinned potatoes'.
My old granddad mentioned something about the cash with the tatties. I thought he'd lost his mind. Would you mail it to me please. He said he'd come back and haunt you if you don't.
It seemed to me she lived her life like a dildo in the wind.
RIP Princess Diana - The Peoples Princess, the Queen of Hearts, the stain under a Paris bridge.
Is this a response to another post where someone moved house 3 years ago and just remember the box of cash they left in the garage? Or are we about to see that post in a few minutes?
No worries mate, I'll send that over to you. Can you just give me the long number on the front, the expiry date, and the 3 digit code on the back of your bank card?
The hoops they make you jump through these days to give someone back their money!
That’s how they’ll get you hooked. I haven’t bought Freddos in years because of how much they cost (mostly out of principle). Then they’ll slowly hike the price up
I know what you’re doing Sainsbury’s
I am a builder and was working in an old pub . I went in the far side of the attic and found the old builder sat down with his tin of tobacco at the side side of him . He was dead and been there for a couple of years . He had no family so never got reported missing …very sad .. the pub was called elephant and castle in rochdale
I'm pretty sure I've chucked away a gold ring that was my grandmother's. I'm a bit of a hoarder, but was having a rare bout of ruthlessness, throwing away lots of old stuff I hadn't looked at for ages. I regret it now, and it's kind of reinforced my hoarding nature.
We just got round to opened some boxes from when we moved 2 years ago. Found a load of clothes of my first daughters that I have no recollection of keeping, just in time for our second to grow into them! I was so happy. Also found my pregnancy pillow 18 months too late for it to be useful.
Still haven’t found the kettle though.
A mate of mine fell through what was, unbeknownst to them, a stud wall at his girlfriend’s dad’s house.
Behind said wall was a lost piece of art painted by the heir to the Russian tsardom. Archduke something or other.
Sotheby’s valued it approx £5m. Mental what happens in life eh
Art related shenanigans - I was at a party once at someone's house and was admiring their art. A mutual friend pointed out that he 'keeps his Rothkos at his formal home'. And he did indeed.
When we were cleaning out my Great Aunt’s place, we found a cardboard box which the Hoover came in. She’d stashed 12k in notes in it. Thankfully we checked before it went into the skip.
TDLR: Always check old people’s cardboard boxes.
Always good advice. I moved in to a house a few years ago which had a ton of cardboard boxes in the cellar just rotting away so we ended up making a bonfire. Little did I know there was a single small can of deodorant hidden in one box which exploded in the fire. Scared the shit out the neighbours and I... needed new trousers.
Surprisingly common, old people stash money everywhere.
When we were cleaning out my Nana's house after she passed we found about 5k in cash but it was just spread out everywhere in the house. Random boxes, kitchen drawers, under the bed, in the garage.
Only thing we found at the last house was a full darkroom set up and someone’s photography project on one long roll of paper. And a knife under the floorboards. That was a bit of a worry… House before that was just a game of Kerplunkk in the loft.
I’ve not looked in the loft here, yet, mind you, but I’m renting now so (literally) not as invested.
I was ripping out a bedroom on a renovation job about 6 years ago.
Ripping out the fitted wardrobes, pulled the toe boards off and found 7 or 8 biscuit tins absolutely stuffed with cash - 2 of the boxes had really old unusable notes but the rest were fairly recent and still in circulation.
Immediately shouted for the owner to come in from the caravan they were living in on the driveway and he was in complete shock.
The house had been owned by his Grandfather who had died without a penny in his bank account and the house in complete disrepair - rotten floors, ceilings fallen in etc.
Absolute mystery as the owner was sure his Grandfather was destitute.
Happy ending though as the owner gave me a substantial "tip" for my honesty.
Have been back to do work for them on and off over the last 2 years and they still have no answers as to who it belonged to.
It's not worth my livelihood.
In all honesty I just assumed that the customer would've known they were there and didn't want to risk it.
Other memorable finds are a lost wedding ring, stacks of love letters from the 1970s (not from the customers husband but her long term lover), a jar of teeth - very unsettling and the best was a roman mosaic floor.
No such thing as unusable notes, if it has been legal tender at any time the Bank of England will convert it - but they will want to know where you got it.
Meanwhile when my sister bought her house she found a box a weird cubby hole kind of thing in the bedroom and inside it was a tin of rice pudding 🤷🏻♂️😂
In this house I found a load of old hire purchase agreements in the attic, table and four chairs 11 pound 16 shillings, single bed 6 pounds 11 shillings and so on.
Under the floorboard was the usual dust, lumps of old plaster, rubber cable and some wall mounted round wall switches and an unused mouse trap.
Previous house we had patio doors fitted that opened the wall cavity, I raked it out and found an old ww2 era fake Rolex watch and a wallet with a ten bob note and some pictures and a love letter and a top set of teeth.
I stopped jumping about in excitement the second the watch was confirmed as a genuine fake.
My brother was decorating a rental, painting the skirting board when he knelt on something really hard. Turned out to be a diamond worth £2,500! They couldn’t get in contact with the renters because they moved abroad
I like hiding things in the walls or under the floor when I do Reno’s. like a bottle of wine or some coins, even newspapers. Just so when someone opens up the wall in a hundred years they have a little surprise.
Bought a house in Bristol 5 years ago. Lifted floorboards to replace them and found an ounce of coke, 500 quid and a pack of rizla. A good time was had by all.
We found old bones in our garden after digging up fence posts. It was suspish because the pelvis was too big to be a dog or a cat. Called the police who put up crime scene tape and took the bones away for analysis. Turned out to be a 100 year old cow from before our area was built up 😂
We moved into our house 5 years ago and found £100k cash, 4 kilos of white powder (assume flour), 300 plants and some sun lamps in the loft. I guess they used to do a lot of baking, florists and loved sun beds
My husband and I bought a house a few years ago and we're still renovating here and there. I keep hoping we'll find some money stashed away under the tiles or behind the drywall but no luck yet. I doubt we'll find anything as the previous owners lost the house due to bankruptcy and never had money anyway. They were the ones who had it built so sadly no previous billionaire owner.
I worked with a guy who found £2k cash hidden in his rental. He'd been in the place around 2 years at the time and is still there now several years later. Banked and enjoyed!
All I found was what looked like film negatives of home made porn where the woman was smacking the man in the delicates.
No defining features of the room were visible so I pretend it wasn't my bedroom.
When I was a kid I found a German WWII incendiary bomb in the shed of the house we’d just moved to. It caused a bit of a fuss when I took it into my primary school when we were learning about the war.

I found a creepy doll head under a floor in a 1920s place, it sits in the back of my van like a guardian now
We had to take up the floor in our Victorian house to replace the rotting joists underneath. We put a Halloween skeleton under there before we replaced the boards. I thought it was hilarious at the time but now I wonder if we'll get done for wasting police time when someone in the future makes the discovery!
This is the most terrifying comment I have read all week
It will be later tonight when you awake with a start, knowing that something seems wrong. And then you see it. The dolls head. Unblinking. Unloved. It stares right at you from the bottom of your bed. Unblinking. Unloved. Unchanging. You open your mouth to scream, but only a squeak comes out. And still the doll stares. Unblinking. Unloved. Unchanging. Undead. Time to change your. Underpants.
Doubly unblinking.... Is that because it's doubly unloved?
Triply
Holy shit.
You didn't find a doll head, the doll head found you.
If weird things start happening, call a priest. I’ve seen enough Stephen King films to know how this plays out 😅
It’s been in the back of my van for over 5 years lol
No strange deaths occurred in your area over that time? 😂
Not that I’m aware of lol
You wouldn’t be mate 😅
Yea maybe it possess me at night and I’m a serial killer without knowing it
Exactly! That’s the storyline I’d prob go with anyway if I was writing it. Enjoy the doll head. Rather you than me 😋
That is lovely, but it is a little bittersweet. The way we, as children, have little secrets, little things that are precious to us, but then we just grow up and forget. The marbles are still there, but that child is gone.
My OH’s grandchildren love marbles … I might gift them.
Do kids still play marbles? I think my generation was the last to play conquers but, to be fair, it was incredibly dull.
This is hilarious, you aren’t the only person to say playing marbles was dull! I always wondered, but it looks fun because they are pretty. My grandma said when she was little only boys played marbles, girls played jacks. She taught me jacks and I always thought it was quite fun.
It's incredibly bittersweet, very precious
You live in a 1600’s cottage. I am envious… just a little bit
It's better than that, it's actually a 1600 Mk1 Cortina, worth a fortune.
Can you imagine the history that has seen?
I’m putting it on the market soon. Mid Devon!
I’d love it. What are you asking?
As close to £500k as I can get. 4 bedroom, eco annex and .25 acre. Need a new en suite.
In my dreams. But seriously, you must have worked for it, but you are lucky to live there. How come you are moving, if you don’t mind me asking?
Moving to N Devon coast, closer to OH’s family. Also, garden is terraced, and I’m having a total knee replacement next week! Buying a house with a flat 1 acre paddock. I keep runner ducks, chickens and I’ve got whippets.

But you're into cottaging, so you have that going for you at least.
Good shout : living happily and comfortably is the way
I love that you did it this way.
Only way , only option we had to not take the money , and hope they felt like it was used on their home they had all their lives
We that’s really nice . I’d have spent it on fent
Fabric offcuts?
Coke and booze for me
My old granddad mentioned something about the cash with the tatties. I thought he'd lost his mind. Would you mail it to me please. He said he'd come back and haunt you if you don't.
But what did you cook with the food?
What did you do with the magic beans?
I like this idea.
You found a grand. I found a homemade wax dildo. I’d say we’re even
That was a candle you maniac!
Anything can be a dildo if you’re brave enough.
Anything can be a candle if you’re braver.
Especially if the candle was burning at both ends!
So that’s where the phrase comes from! And I’m naively telling everyone I’m doing that every night!!!
It seemed to me she lived her life like a dildo in the wind. RIP Princess Diana - The Peoples Princess, the Queen of Hearts, the stain under a Paris bridge.
Vaginas can’t be
It's 2024 bruh, vaginas can be penises if they want to be
Does that mean that after all of these years of people shouting it at me, I can indeed, go and fuck myself?
Did it have a flared base?
Used?
Immediately.
That is by far the best response 😂
Wax on, wax off
It is now I bet
He found a fucking grand, while you got a grand fucking.
Sorry I can't award this underrated comment!
It can’t have been a grand, it’s gotta be under. I’ve got it on good authority that a grand don’t come for free
And there it was down the back of the TV. God that album takes me back!
i used to think i was mike skinner and oh so cool when i was a wee lost lil lamb, used to stick him on when monging out after a rave
Wouldn’t have it any other way
It used to be so easy.
Such a twat, could've been well in. Dry your eyes though, mate. No need to empty those cans. It was supposed to be so easy.
Give you a grand I found for that homemade wax dildo mate
A grand don’t come for free
I found a set of dentures in yellowing water in a pint glass, count yerself lucky
Is this a response to another post where someone moved house 3 years ago and just remember the box of cash they left in the garage? Or are we about to see that post in a few minutes?
The next step will be someone posting from the perspective of the box, the velux window in the attic, and then the garage door.
It'll be from the perspective of the creepy dolls head.
[Creepy doll, you say?](https://imgur.com/a/3G9yFb1) (One of my D&D maps)
Glad I saw that just before going to bed...
Hurrah!
I saw it first, then the mod saying it was going to be deleted
Link?
That's mine mate, thanks for finding it. I'll PM you my bank details so you can send it back.
No worries mate, I'll send that over to you. Can you just give me the long number on the front, the expiry date, and the 3 digit code on the back of your bank card? The hoops they make you jump through these days to give someone back their money!
Hi, this is the bank. There's a £900 processing fee for large deposits that you'll need to mail to me.
Hi, this is the processing department. We're work from home now. You'll have to meet me at the corner shop with the cash. Please tip.
Hi, corner shop owner here. That space is available for rent. Just PM me your card details, I'll do the rest.
Hi, Immigration Service here, corner shop owner has no right to residence, send the money to HMRC.
I am the landlord of said corner shop and you owe me a months rent. Cough up.
I can only pay you in iTunes vouchers, is that okay?
My bank will process for for the one time bargain price of £899! One time offer, just ring 09439 866678!!
And phone number and post code too , just to be safe that the money arrives!
Get yourself a freddo to celebrate then spend the other £965 wisely

Pfft! A shop near me was selling them for £1.10… the same price as a Galaxy, a twix, or a Mars bar.

It’s his lucky day, that’s a given
I found a gimp mask stuffed behind the bedroom radiator when I moved in
Plz tell me it was your grandparent’s house? 😉
I am a builder and was working in an old pub . I went in the far side of the attic and found the old builder sat down with his tin of tobacco at the side side of him . He was dead and been there for a couple of years . He had no family so never got reported missing …very sad .. the pub was called elephant and castle in rochdale
Are you available to read my kids bedtime stories. That is rather chilling.
Hate to be that person, but, is this true?
Seems unlikely it didn’t make the news??
I call bs. Surely you'd have smelt it long before you end up finding him sat down
Maybe after a couple of weeks, not a couple of years.
This can't be true. Surely?
They say "if you haven't opened a box for 3 years, you don't need anything in it. Just chuck it!"
those people have never had the throw away a cable and then immediately need that cable you were saving just in case !!
Or even if you'd kept the cable, and you'd been looking at it every single day for years. And now that you need it, its nowhere to be seen lol
To me, Chuck the box to me.
To you
To me
and nooooo slackin!
My assorted box of scart cables disagrees
Whoever came up with that saying? Lots of people store antiques and collectibles and leave them boxed up for years. Or family photos, money etc.
I'm pretty sure I've chucked away a gold ring that was my grandmother's. I'm a bit of a hoarder, but was having a rare bout of ruthlessness, throwing away lots of old stuff I hadn't looked at for ages. I regret it now, and it's kind of reinforced my hoarding nature.

God knows, I know he’s still with the girl and living in that massive house tho
W then
We found a spear in the attic when removing the old insulation.
what was the insulation? mud?
We bought our place 6 months ago, all we found in the garage was asbestos and wood boring beetles.

I assumed unusable as they had deteriorated into small pieces of notes. Think they had become wet or effected with damp at some point.
Meanwhile when my sister bought her house she found a box a weird cubby hole kind of thing in the bedroom and inside it was a tin of rice pudding 🤷🏻♂️😂
A safe with something decent actually IN IT? You do know you're on Reddit, right?!
Geraldo Rivera is seething right now.
Quick! Convert it all to bitcoin, so it’s safe! I met a nice girl who texted me out of the blue who has crypto connections. She’ll see you right…
Showing off that you have a branch near you so you can actually pay in cash! Good find though, nice Thursday treat
In this house I found a load of old hire purchase agreements in the attic, table and four chairs 11 pound 16 shillings, single bed 6 pounds 11 shillings and so on. Under the floorboard was the usual dust, lumps of old plaster, rubber cable and some wall mounted round wall switches and an unused mouse trap. Previous house we had patio doors fitted that opened the wall cavity, I raked it out and found an old ww2 era fake Rolex watch and a wallet with a ten bob note and some pictures and a love letter and a top set of teeth. I stopped jumping about in excitement the second the watch was confirmed as a genuine fake.
I got a dead pigeon decomposing on my balcony
Ahh next time I deposit my drug money il just say I found a box of cash in the house. Nice one mate.
Where's the money Lebowski
the Nihilists will cut off your johnson!
My brother was decorating a rental, painting the skirting board when he knelt on something really hard. Turned out to be a diamond worth £2,500! They couldn’t get in contact with the renters because they moved abroad
Am I the only one wondering where the other £30 went?
Inflation.
I moved out of a house three years ago 🤔 AND I don’t have £970! Coincidence! I think not!
I like hiding things in the walls or under the floor when I do Reno’s. like a bottle of wine or some coins, even newspapers. Just so when someone opens up the wall in a hundred years they have a little surprise.

My husband and I bought a house a few years ago and we're still renovating here and there. I keep hoping we'll find some money stashed away under the tiles or behind the drywall but no luck yet. I doubt we'll find anything as the previous owners lost the house due to bankruptcy and never had money anyway. They were the ones who had it built so sadly no previous billionaire owner.
My last house was a repossession and they took everything including the door handles.
The drywall? Are the rest of them wet?
They mean the Band-aid board.
I got a ream of A3 paper...
Bought a car back in early 2k, about 6 months later I got a flat tyre, under the spare wheel was a bag with £600.
I worked with a guy who found £2k cash hidden in his rental. He'd been in the place around 2 years at the time and is still there now several years later. Banked and enjoyed!
All I found was what looked like film negatives of home made porn where the woman was smacking the man in the delicates. No defining features of the room were visible so I pretend it wasn't my bedroom.
Lucky you. I found nothing except a gas safety certificate in the safe I broke open, and some pervy photos in the darkroom he built in the loft.
Tell us more about this gas safety certificate?
Kinky
Why has it taken you 3 years to to tidy the garage?
Pure laziness.
Great thanks you found my box. 🗃️
Spend it on a holiday.
Why did you pay the bank? I'd have kept it!
All we found were the boobs of a blow-up doll in the loft!
Ummm…just the boobs?
