At first, it seemed that the box contained nothing more than tattered high school diplomas, and it couldn’t even be closed properly. When the woman realized that the top drawers of the box were removable, however, she dug deeper, and soon enough hit the “jack-frickin’-pot” most of us only dream of. Grandparents are certainly experts at hiding secret stashes, whether it’s candy or vintage goods!

Check out what the woman found below, and remember that you can enlarge each image by clicking on it!
