They Found A Secret Trapdoor In Their House - What Was Inside Is All Kinds Of Cool

#1

While moving all their stuff into their new house, Matt stacked some boxes into an empty closet, not paying much attention to the floor.

#2

While Matt was pretty oblivious to the secret hiding under the cardboard boxes, his wife noticed a panel in the floor and said to him, "Did you know we had a trapdoor?"

#3

Super curious, they quickly moved the boxes out of the way and Matt tried the handle...hoping not to find any dead bodies below.

#4

The trapdoor opened easy but it looked like there was nothing but dust to be found down there.

#5

But wait...what's that hiding in the corner?!

#6

A box!

#7

This intricate little box was sitting on plastic sheeting.

#8

They tried to open it only to realize it was locked tight. Not having any idea how old and delicate it was they decided not to force it open and risk ruining the box itself.

#9

Since the keyhole appeared to be intact, Matt decided to leave the box and call up a locksmith friend for help.

After finding out his locksmith friend wasn't coming to explore the unopened box, overly curious Matt decided he had to try to force it open and see what was hiding inside. He grabbed his tools and got to work!
