New York City couple discovers safe with $100,000 cash while magnet fishing

A couple from New York City, James Kane and Barbie Agostini, enjoy magnet fishing in local waterways. Recently, they made an unexpected discovery while fishing in a pond in Queens, New York. They found a safe filled with waterlogged hundred dollar bills estimated to be worth $100,000. The bills were damaged by water and not usable. James and Barbie share their magnet fishing adventures on their YouTube channel. They were surprised to find the safe filled with money. They contacted the police, thinking there might be legal issues involved since the safe was likely stolen. However, as the owner couldn't be identified, the police allowed them to keep the money. Magnet fishing involves using a strong magnet on a rope to pull up metal objects from lakes and rivers. James and Barbie started this hobby during the Covid-19 pandemic. They have found various items like World War II grenades, old guns, a motorcycle, and even a purse with foreign coins and jewelry. In another incident, a magnet fisher in New Orleans found a human skull attached to an exercise dumbbell. In Georgia, someone fishing with a magnet discovered a rifle and belongings of a couple who were killed in the area years ago. James and Barbie's discovery of the safe with $100,000 inside was a surprise. The police confirmed that the money wasn't linked to any crime, so the couple was allowed to keep it. The bills were too damaged to use, but the couple was excited about their unusual find.
