You will likely experience the death of at least one grandparent in your lifetime and, when you do, it may cause intense pain and heartache.

The death of any family member can have an impact on the family as a whole. A grandparent’s death is often felt very deeply by many members of your family. Depending on the circumstances, you may feel as though you have to prioritize the needs of others in your family before attending to your own grief and wellbeing.
Social media user “EvEn” remembers his grandparents warmly. His grandmother used to read him “Treasure Island” when he was a child, and the story sparked his imagination. He even dreamed of finding his own treasure one day. But he hardly expected that the treasure he would find would have been there the whole time… buried right under his feet. When EvEn’s grandparents passed away, they left behind their house. EvEn reportedlu inherited it and while helping clean it, he discovered something under a dirty closet carpet. He knew he had to throw out the musty old carpet, but when he pulled it up, he made an astonishing discovery. Under the carpet was a secret hatch… Reddit user “EvEn” made the discovery while cleaning out his grandmother and grandfather’s house. It all started when he opened one of the closets. Behind the door, he found a dirty, smelly carpet that he wanted to get rid of right away.
But when he pulled up the carpet, EvEn saw a strange metal hatch in the floor. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was a combination lock installed in the floor. It looked very much like a safe. First, EvEn tried to pick the lock on his own. But when he realized that couldn’t do it, he called a locksmith, who was finally able to break the lock. Now, it was time to open up the door and discover what was hidden below… EvEn says his grandparents were avid collectors, so he knew the hidden compartment would be filled with interesting things… but the treasure inside defied all of his expectations.
Scroll down to see what he found… At first, EvEn just saw a bunch of rusty, water-damaged metal boxes. But under all the dust and dirt, he found a time capsule from the 1930s. Among other things, it contained a coin collector album from 1937 with all the coins in mint condition. And the more he dug, the more coin collector albums he found. He even found some old guns and watches. And the icing on the cake was a collection of several silver bullion bars. A user on the same reddit forum, who is a coin enthusiast, said that collectors would be very interested in the coins. But perhaps even more valuable is EvEn’s memory of his grandparents, who left behind all of these cool things.
