$500,000
Contractors had been working on renovating an Arizona home when they stumbled into $500,000 of cash. The money was hidden in military ammunition containers. The contractors wanted to keep the cash for themselves and claimed it. The homeowners put up a fight and said it was theirs since it was on their property. The court did not agree with either party and ruled that the cash belonged to the heirs of the person who hid the money there in the first place. Robert Spann was the name of this man. He passed away 11 years before the discovery, so the cash went to his two children instead.

Neon Light
Clifton’s Cafeteria is an old establishment in Los Angeles. Located in a historic building, the owner found the strangest item after he started to give the bathroom a makeover. There was a neon light there, but the weird part was that it was still on somehow. There are experts who believe that it had been on for 77 years, which means that it is the longest lit neon light in history. The owner is under the belief that it was first switched on in 1935 when the building was used as a forest-themed restaurant. He eventually realized that he must have paid about $17,000 for the power thanks to the neon light! This incredible discovery baffled many experts because neon lights do not typically work for more than 40 years.
