6) False-Drawer Dresser

Emil Knodell was happy enough when he found what he considered a good deal at an estate sale; a beautiful antique walnut chest for less than $100. “We were loading it onto the truck, it sounded like a metallic waterfall,” he said. After closer inspection, Knodell discovered a false drawer. What he found inside was incredible.

“It was like the Hardy Boys,” he said, “and we went, ‘Holy Smokes…Jackpot!” Rings, pearls and diamonds, were just a few of the treasures that were inside this hidden drawer. Many of the pieces date back to the Civil War. An even more incredible part of the story is, Knodell wants to return the items to the original owner.
