This story is about a Tucson, Arizona man, who bought a house that held a mystery buried in the backyard. At first, he did not know about the secret past of this particular property. But luckily, since he purchased the home from a friend, he soon learned of the intriguing background information.
As the sale went through, his friend informed him about the exciting possibility of something very interesting hidden in the yard.
Another Mystery
If Ms. Harding does have secret possession of the coin, what will she do with it? She knows the value if she decides to cash it in, but maybe she will keep it forever.
Perhaps she will pass it along to her children as a family heirloom. A permanent reminder of the dear matriarch they lost. But don’t tell anyone!
A Token of Misfortune
It seemed like the coin brought her nothing but misfortune. She went through a lot of trouble to keep it, and so we can only assume she still has it.
Hopefully, she’s stored it somewhere safe and it will no longer cause her any more trouble. And now, another intriguing story about a backyard discovery...
With Ownership, He Became Privy to the Secret
John Sims received the morsel of information after signing the final paperwork for the house in 2015. His backyard quite possibly contained a historical relic.
With the news, Mr. Sims became very excited about the possibility and began looking into it immediately.
“I got very interested...”
Joking with his friend that the two of them should grab a shovel right then and there and dig it up, he was more than partly serious.
Mr. Sims recalls, “I got very interested and maybe about six to eight months after I moved in, I started doing some test digs to see if I could find something.”
