Man Finds a Bizarre Surprise Hidden Inside a Dresser He Found at a Yard Sale

They say yard sales are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. Well that’s exactly what Emil Knodell from Bellville, Texas, discovered when he went to a yard sale. But it wasn’t exactly a happy occasion for everyone involved.

Yard Sales Are Unpredictable

Yard sale bargains are great! Not only do you get to buy things at a considerably lower cost than at a regular store, but you never know what hidden treasures you might find.

Just ask Texas native Emil Knodell who got the surprise of his life at one estate sale…

He Traveled to an Estate Sale

Knodell had gone to an estate sale on May 9, 2015, for a man who had passed away in Missouri City, Texas. The family was getting rid of a lot of their deceased loved one’s belongings and Knodell was respectfully enthusiastic about the whole thing.

But he had no idea this sale would pay up big time.

He Went to the Sale Feeling Hopeful

To most folks, a yard sale is a great opportunity to sell some of their unwanted items and earn some money in the process. But for people like Knodell, this was an opportunity to find something unique and hopefully valuable, which is exactly what was in the cards for him.

He Spent a Lot of Time Sifting

The retired marketing director and former United States Veteran spent a lot of his spare time sifting through junk no one else wanted at yard and estate sales. But he was about to discover that some valuables are hidden in plain sight.
