This Man Made A Startling Discovery When He Started Digging In His Own Backyard

Original Plans For His House

It should go without saying that John Sims did not just wake up and feel the need to dig around his backyard. No, he actually came across the original plans of the property through the city records. After taking a look at it, he finally noticed something buried in his backyard that he had never noticed prior.

Obviously, it made him want to act right away. He was actually incredibly excited about the adventure that he was about to undertake.

X Marks The Spot

Who wouldn’t be excited with such a development? John asked the help of a metal detector specialist in order to help solve the mystery that was unraveling then and there. They spend quite some time under the sun but they eventually spotted two locations in the backyard that appeared to be the area the map indicated.

They labeled the spots by drawing Xs on them like you can see in the photo below. After this, John had full control over the matter and it was his call to proceed.
