Most people go fishing with the hopes of catching a large haul, but they usually just anticipate a few fish and some nice weather.
On the other hand, James Kane and Barbie Agostini assist the environment by fishing. The Guardian reported that these fishermen are magnets because they gather trash and other aquatic debris. Their social media account, “Let’s Get Magnetic,” frequently features intriguing finds, but according to Spectrum News, they recently made their biggest grab to far, valued at about $100,000.
A safe was located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park when Kane and Agostini were magnet fishing. As a pastime, they took up magnet fishing during the pandemic.
They have found explosives, firearms, and other objects, so the task is both challenging and exciting for them. Still, it was a huge win to discover a safe. In 45 minutes, they retrieved a rusty, grimy old safe from the water, according to PIX11 News.
The pair did not make any big deal out of the discovery because they thought it was just an old, empty safe. The reason Kane was surprised was that he thought it would contain baggies, change, and similar items because of the hole at the bottom.
Countless hundred-dollar bills were discovered within, much to their dismay. The number of stacks was two hundred, he said with a scream. Given the history of their discoveries, Agostini was dubious of her partner and thought he was playing a practical joke on her. Oh no, I said to myself. The hundred dollar bills had to be seen to be believed, she said.
They still couldn’t claim ownership of the muck-covered, water-covered heaps of fortune. In the event that the couple’s find was reported cash or stolen funds, they alerted the proper authorities.
Nonetheless, Kane and Angostini were permitted to take the enormous sum home with them because no criminal record or incident of the same existed. “I couldn’t believe it, I lost it!” Agostini exclaimed. The two documented the event and their reactions in a YouTube vlog.
Their astonishing discovery shocked the pair to their very core. Nonetheless, they considered it a just reward for all their efforts and generosity over the years.
With this windfall, they hope to finally realize a long-held ambition. Agostini had long dreamed of owning a house in New York City for her five-person family. She was raised without one. They will be able to realize their ambition with this unexpected fortune.
