Man Finds Safe Buried In Yard, Jumps Back When He Opens It

It had been more challenging to remove than they had initially thought. The rusted object was a lot heavier than they thought it would be.

The piece of metal had been stuck beneath the earth for four years, but he would have dug it up sooner if he had known what had been inside it this whole time.

One Issue

It was a lovely morning as Matthew and his family sat around the kitchen table. They enjoyed looking out into their yard.

But that had changed for his wife. They all loved their Staten Island property, and they were proud of their lush shrubs and well-kept flowers, but there was something that his wife wasn’t happy about.

An Unappealing Site

As she sipped her coffee that morning, she looked out into the yard with a disgusted look. She asked her husband when he would do something about what she was looking at.

He told her that he would look into it when he had time. She huffed. “So why didn’t you do it yesterday instead of watching the game?” He gave a helpless shrug, and she made it clear that she wasn’t happy with what she saw in their yard.

Things To Be Done

They were a couple like any other who were faced with unwanted tasks. They had been working long and hard with the landscaping, so this seemed trivial compared to what they had already done.

But considering everything had come together, Matthew knew that time was running out to complete the task. He knew that his wife would continue to nag him, but he didn’t realize that Mother Nature would speed up the process.

A Missing Chunk

The lush foliage the family had been so proud of had attracted a visitor: a deer who had a hankering for such vegetation.

It had returned to the same section of shrubbery over a couple of days, and it wasn’t long before the family noticed the huge chunk missing from their beautiful shrubbery. But they had no idea what this would lead to.
