Hidden House Treasures
Does Your New Purchase Contain Something Greater than Meets the Eye?
Who hid that Treasure?
Who may have hidden their treasures in New Jersey? Pirate, Captain William Kidd, Captain John is said to have hidden 20,000,000 worth of gold at or near New Jersey ports, Bacon's Long Beach loot buried somewhere near Barnegat Light., recluse Furman Dubel buried or hid over $200,000 in Burlington. Aaron Kitchell's wife is said to have buried $50,000 worth of gold in the Hanover and Morristown area. outlaw Jacob Fagan and his henchman Lewis Fenton hid "massive amounts of loot" in the tunnels they used (Farmingdale area), Chief Thayendanegea, AKA Joseph Brant, a member of the Mohawk Tribe led raids together against colonists may have hidden money in the Vernon area, Henry Roller lived near Folsom in Atlantic County reportedly buried a fortune. So it is possible to locate treasure. Along with intentional hidden loot are antiques and archaeological treasures. Many arrow heads have been found, revolutionary war relics, and civil war armaments.
Oil
On Dec 18, 1963 The Clampett Family found oil on their property, Well perhaps that was fictionalized. Director Joseph Depew, Writers: Paul HenningMark Tuttle, Stars: Buddy EbsenIrene RyanDonna Douglas . Did find wealth or created it. It is possible to locate treasure or valuables on your property. I am located in New Jersey, unlikely to easlily locate oil (shale oil and gas has been found)but other things can be found. Quartz/Amethyst/Citrine, Corundum (Ruby), Carnelian, Amber, Opal, Datolite, Prehnite, Agate/Jasper/Chalcedony, Serpentine, ZINC ORE (Sterling Hill Mine).
Personal Savings
In addition to the fanciful imagine of the romantic swashbuckler hiding and burying their ill be gotten gains ordinary people buried their hard earned cash and valuables. Why? In 1929 the stock market crash, the ordinary person had no thought that that could or would happen. People had purchased stocks with the leverage of margin accounts and unsecured loans. They thought the price of stock could only go one direction. The market gave them a rude awakening. After the crash everybody had to pay for their stock purchases. They ran to the banks. Banks held very limited amounts of money since they only make money on money that is loaned to borrowers. Thus the banks did not have cash to give to people who wanted to withdraw their savings to pay the debts they incurred by buying inflate priced stocks. Many, Most did not trust banks after that. So where did they keep their savings? In a safe? A safe can be stolen. They hid their money in the hidden compartments of their roll top desk, walls, floors, and buried in their yards just like the ancients during a period of invasion.
Places to search: in side the legs of furniture, buried yard, driveway, some place where a landmark may have been in the 1920 & 30s, Attics, inside doors, cabinets, inside walls, under floor boards, Behind Vents, Under the floor of where the shed used to be, sound box of musical instruments ...
If you inherited your grandparents home? If you purchased a home that stood during the 1930s prior to hiring somebody to get rid of the junk, check. ( If you find a $1000. buried in a glass jar in your yard, at the time that it was buried it was worth approximately in 2022 dollars $18,000. Something to think about if you are deciding if you should keep you money in cash or invest in real estate.)
Unrealized Wealth
Some valuables are hiding in plain sight. Such are door knobs, a few styles sell for hundreds of dollars and a few collectibles thousands of dollars. I have seen a "Antique Oak 60″ Wide Roll Top Desk with Double Roll – The American Case Desk" advertised for 12,000 dollars. remember those old toys you had as a child? What did your parents do with them? What do you think (mint condition) they would be worth today? Some collectables are no as obvious, I have seen an autographed bottle of whiskey by a famous person which an unaware person may just drink the whiskey and toss the bottle not knowing the value was on the bottle, A collectible stamp, could be mistaken as another scape in a desk draw.
"Neither Snow Nor Rain..."
The Treskilling Yellow stamp reportily fetched $3.16 million ( I have not confirmed )
Prior to the auction Treskilling Yellow had been expected to fetch up to £1.7million.
auctioned by David Feldman in Geneva, Switzerland on 22 May 2010.
There is some relationship between the property's square footage and the selling price. The average price per square foot in a town like Haddonfield, New Jersey is $304. What if after your purchase you discovered that the structure is many, many times what you thought. Perhaps you might find a bomb shelter built during the cold war. There is a house in Voorhees New Jersey with a 130 foot long "bomb proof" shelter. Also there are remnants of the underground railroad in the form of hidden rooms, tunnels, and hidden stairs. Many of these hidden spaces were later used during prohibition. There has been reported situations where the owner has found entire caverns under their house.
An example of such a tunnel is in the basement of Indian King Tavern Historic Site, Haddonfield,
New Jersey where a tunnel exist that used to connect the tavern to a building across the street.
Many of these hidden space that were created for the underground railroad later were used to hid alcoholic beverages during prohibition. Maya Moody was visiting her cousin Stephen Agyeman is photographed below posted on Tiktok what she saw.
