Top 10 CRAZIEST Things People Found In Their Backyard!



Exploring eerie backyards can be a very exciting and curious activity. Many people are unaware that they’re house is sitting on many of the world’s strange discoveries, that have yet to be found. Many of these things are found by accident, people digging ditches, to make room for an in-ground pool, or people simply renovating their backyard. Whatever the case, they got more than just a simple renovation or pool… From buried treasure to a buried Ferrari, check out these 10 craziest things people found in their backyard.
10. A Ferrari
In February 1978, The Los Angeles Times reported a shocking story: two Los Angeles children found a Dino 264 GTS Ferrari, which had apparently been stolen several years earlier, buried in their backyard. The Ferrari, claimed the reporter, was in shockingly good condition, with only a small hole over the right taillight belying the truth of its underground burial. Sounds fantastical, right?

Their discovery gave people chills, as they feared it could have been part of a large crime or homicide. Despite the grand discovery that the car had been stolen, they couldn’t quite tell how it got buried underground to begin with. Following up on other videos we discover the original owner of the car had taken his wife out to a diner only for them to leave the place and find there was no car.

The owners of the house had only been living there a couple of months when the car was found and were dumbstruck as to who may have buried it. It was clear that someone was planning to come back for it by the way since it was wrapped in plastic, but they obviously never got the chance. The car remains unlisted on any registry and the mystery of who stole and buried it also remains.

As it turns out, the story of the buried Ferrari is a little more complicated than that. In 2012, Mike Spinelli of Jalopnik contacted one of the detectives that worked the case back in 1978. The detective, Dennis Carroll, claimed that a snitch tipped off police about the location of the car - the story about the two kids finding it was a plant to shield the snitch's identity. And, the snitch alleged, the car wasn't exactly stolen: the original owner hired a few guys to stage the crime so he could collect the insurance money. The police could never prove it, though, so the owner was never charged. And as for the Dino's condition when it was dug up? It was an absolute wreck. A passionate mechanic got his hands on it, did some extensive restorations, and is still driving it around today!

9. $10 Million In Gold Coins

Many people who use metal detectors dream of finding a real treasure chest, with real gold in it, and that’s exactly what happened with this couple in Sierra Nevada, California. One day while walking their dog, they stumbled across 10 million in gold coins hidden away in their backyard!!! The riches weren’t even technically buried and were simply covered by the shadow of a nearby tree. They noticed the top of an old canister sticking out of the ground in which had a bunch of old gold discs and they took it home.

They found out the discs were well preserved $20 gold coins dating back to the 1890s. They hurried back to the location of their find and discovered 7 more making it a total of eight canisters containing 1,427 coins dating from 1847 to 1894: four $5 gold pieces, fifty $10 gold pieces, and 1,373 $20 double eagles. Though the coins' face value in the 19th century was $27,980, their age and rarity made the treasure trove worth around $11 million. Several coins were auctioned at the Old San Francisco Mint in May 2014, including one coin, an 1874 $20 double eagle, that sold for $15,000. Not a bad idea to take a walk around the yard, is it?
