A  family recently hired a professional treasure hunter to investigate rumors that money was hidden in their home.   Keith Willie knew the money was there but where and how far would you go to find it.

They used a metal detector and did find some money...in my opinion, it was a LOT of money!  Nearly $50,000 in case in a metal box in the attic!  Whoohoo!!

The cash dates back to the 1950s.  The family has not yet figured  out what they will do with the money.  Keep it!  Save it!  Is it wrong that I would consider it mine if I found a pile of cash under the floor boards in my home?  I suppose the best thing to do would be hold onto it, perhaps it was meant for some altruistic reason by the previous owner.
