Buried treasure
An Austrian plumber recently followed his curiosity during a property renovation and uncovered a hidden chest filled with gold coins that date to before WWII and are worth an estimated $2.4 million. Read the story here.
This got us wondering. Have you ever come across any buried treasure or unexpected finds while on the job? We'd love to hear your stories.

How about this? (although the hidden treasure inside here is only trash bins)

Here's one of my favorite hidden surprises from a big ol pre-war building. This long lost bathroom used to be the fireman's bathroom from back in the day when they had coal boilers and firemen tending it 24/7. It's a little beat up nowadays, but those fireman had a really nice private bathroom with a marble walled shower and a window for fresh air via sidewalk shaft vent!
