It was not too striking but it was enough to inspect him ...

What a huge deal!

During the first day of the sale, this drawer had been placed at $ 300. And as we all know, prices tend to fall very quickly during these sales. However, at the moment when Emil found it, they could give him the drawer in exchange of only $ 100! As he did not take too much value than to watch, the sellers were in a hurry to sell it. Nobody knew how good it would happen to be.

Everyone was not aware

Although these succession sales are generally managed by experts, they too often leave details or forget to correctly check the items. So even for first succession sales, they were really not aware of the value of this dresser. They knew it was not worthless, but they were certainly not aware of what it was in reality. It would surprise everyone, even Emil himself ...

Loading the drawer

So after buying the drawer for only $ 100, it was time to bring it home. They ended up with the sale, then it was at last time to charge the drawer to the vehicle of Emil. Jeff Allen, a member of the company staff, attended Emil to keep the great dresser in his truck because he had asked him to do it. And just then, something unexpected took place ...

A sound off

Jeff and Emil then tried to have the drawer on the trunk of his car. "He asked for helping him," said Jeff to the interviewers who asked questions about what happened during this period. "As soon as we tabled it, it started doing all this racket inside," he revealed, speaking of the way they finished realizing that it was not a random drawer, that he contained a very great secret that no one knew.

Trigger curious men

They were so confused by the strange noises that the dresser was doing because there was no information since it was hidden something inside. Men knew that they had to investigate and determine why such a bizarre sound had come when they moved the drawer.

Do you have assumptions?

What would be your hypothesis on what these two have found inside?

An ordinary drawer

The two men were perplexed and after all, who could blame them? This drawer left no sign suggesting that he was holding something totally unexpected inside. "When you look at the front of it, it looks like three obvious drawers with molding on the basis" have informed Emil, describing what happened during their period of realization.

The secret drawer

Now, although the drawer seemed without a mistrust, he explained what gave it. Emil revealed to the interviewers: "But the bottom has a secret drawer that opens." So it was when both understood that it was not just another pretty drawer. There was a storage space that was obviously used to keep something. So, what were the articles kept inside the drawer?

Miscarriage

So, what usually happens is that when families employ these experts to sell their succession, they are supposed to check every detail of the items put on sale. But then, as these people are just human beings, there are times when they make mistakes or be forgetting too. And so, everyone, even the professionals included, missed the secret compartment that was there everything!

So many treasures!

And of course, both of them were about to open the secret drawer. After realizing what was hiding for sight, Jeff and Emil could not believe what they have discovered inside. There were so many treasures that they found, hidden in the secret compartment. Who would he know that a sneaky compartment maintained on the drawer would lead to many valuable products?

Hiding

As soon as they discovered the treasure that had remained hidden in the drawer, the two men were very excited. Surely, see as many treasures so suddenly would give anyone an increase in the rhythm of their heartbeat. "It was a real precipitation at the adrenaline," said Jeff, "both were shocked for a second." And who can blame them? They were just trying to charge the drawer, not discover so much valuable property.

An even better case

It would certainly be difficult to contain your excitement or your shock when it is a big surprise that it comes from your way! Which seemed to be an ordinary cooking drawer protected so many treasures, without the knowledge of all those who had seen or walked around him. It was a fairly good deal for Emil to drop the $ 300 to $ 100 drawer, but to add all that? It was certainly the best deal that could ever get ...

What it contains

So, what treasure did it make this drawer who hides exactly from the rest of the world? Well, get ready to amaze you because it's not a piece of joke what was kept inside. The two guys found diamonds, emeralds, coins, rings, bracelets, military dog ​​labels, a currency from around the world and civil war medals. It's such an incredible discovery, did you agree?

History pieces

And the strangest discovery that has been kept inside was not all these. There was in fact a lock of hair that had been kept next to all these other precious objects! Emil and Jeff were impressed as they expected to find small objects inside. However, it was indeed the most unexpected things they could ever discover. They were valuable pieces of history that had remained intact for a long time.

The 19th century?

This drawer turned out to be the opposite of what everyone supposed. Not only did it hide all these amazing objects, but it could also be from the end of the 19th century. If this convenient was actually at the end of the nineteenth century and we can assure you that all panels indicate on this face, it would be a high demand. This piece antiquity that nobody pays attention to what was really useful ...

Ever underestimate

If, in this dresser, goes back to the end of the 19th century, there is a strong possibility that there are collectors who would like to have their hand on it. You would be quite surprised to learn the high demands that these ancient objects occupy collectors. So, if you ever go in a succession sale, do never underestimate the value of something that looks ordinary, you never know ...

What was the value of the dresser?

Thus, as Jeff was one of the Estate Sales employees, he could use his professional expertise to give an approximation of the value of the dresser. After all, it ended up do not just be the drawer, but a secret box that occupied so many treasures. Jeff then suspected all the contents of this one, after which he felt that the value of the drawer was $ 15,000.

150 times more

So, after trying to load the dresser on the Emil trunk, Jeff and he found themselves with the most unusual discovery. And in the end, after considering all the prospects, the price of the dresser has increased to more than 150 times what Emil has originally paid for that a little time. Everything thanks to the secret compartment at the bottom of the drawer, the value has increased incredibly higher ...

For him to keep?

We should remember the formalities followed by estate sales like this. All things listed on the sale are for purchase. But always, there was a hiccup. Since none of these objects have been considered in sales, would Emil be able to take them home? After all, he was the one who spotted the dresser and wanted to bring it home in the first place.

What was right?

So, indeed, since the purchase was already done, everything belonged to Emil at that time. And there was certainly nothing that could prevent it from going home with the estimated dresser at only $ 15,000. Because none of the experts spotted the dresser first, it was now right now, is not it? Would Emil do the right thing in this situation?

Research holders?

If you were in his positions, how will you face this delicate situation? Since he was still perfectly legal, for Emil to expose an attitude "finding finders", do you think it was just bringing home the dresser and all she had inside? Since it was a very rare occurrence to discover valuable objects inside the selling items, which was right and what was wrong?

Do what he feels

We can assume that most of us go home and take everything. After all, all that was in the drawer had not been registered and that the experts were not aware of them being present and that the dresser had been technically bought, then Emil could have just taken everything. However, he did not feel that it would have been the appropriate action plan. So what does he end up doing?

Not his purchase

Even if it would make sense if it decided to keep everything, Emil was a man of morale who did not feel like they did not buy. "I bought the chest (of) drawers. I did not buy these things," Emil revealed, speaking of the reason he would not feel right, keeping all these treasures. Emil was not Someone who liked to take things that did not belong to him.

Feel bad

To clarify the feeling he had inside, Emile disclosed to the interviewers ", if I kept them, I will never feel about it. There would be a cloud on everything. It's a feeling more than anything else. "In his head, he could be comfortable keeping all these items that could have had a monetary or sentimental value to the family who sold their property.

An ex-sailor

While most of us would be happy to bring the drawer with all the other precious objects inside, there was a good reason why Emil would never be able to do it. "I'm an old ex-marine and I'm trying to do the right thing," Emil revealed. So, according to him, the things that felt false or contrary to ethics were out of the question. He could never submit to these things.

Legitimate owners

He then explained what happened when they made the surprising discovery. "Jeff too, the responsible man, his immediate reaction was" let's call the owner. There was never a question of keeping it. It was "fantastic. Let's call the owner and return the matter," Emil then confessed. He and Jeff wanted to make sure they were with the legitimate owners.

Call the executor running

Thus, after Jeff suggested that the two of them call the family concerned, they decided to locate them. And it turned out, the son of the deceased was the executor of the domain. So when they informed her items in the dresser, even he was totally shocked. He did not know that such precious articles had been locked up without his knowledge all these years.

Even he was not aware

After calling it, Jeff was informed by the executor who remembered to see the dresser placed in the Michigan House of his grandparents. But, like people working there, he had never been curious enough to look at the dresser to find out what all this is hiding. He was clearly not aware of all the things his ancestors hid in the secret compartment.

To give everything

So, since Emil was not comfortable keeping things that the drawer held inside, there was only one thing to do. He did everything in his power to make sure that the valuable objects he discovered in the secret drawer ended up with the family. He was not about to do anything that felt bad at him. After all, according to him, he bought only the drawer and nothing else.

A man of moral

As it did not feel right about the slaughter of all the objects of value preserved inside the drawer, Emil was certain that he had done the right thing. And also, knowing that he had made an ethical choice had to give him a peace of mind! As a man who served in the navy, he knew that his morality had to be respected and not go with what was easy.

Recognizing Emil?

Do you agree when we say that it is indeed remarkable for Emil to decide that giving back the objects was the good thing to do? He returned the objects very quickly also what made it clearer that he was a man of his words. We are sure that the family who has received their dresser was really grateful, even if they never care about checking things stored inside.
