Massive Silver Find in Cincinnati Home: 19,400 One Troy Ounce Silver Bars

[@SolomonElDorado]

Those are my bars. I forgot where I hid them.

[@ant5681]

how did you lift that 1300 lbs off of the floor

[@Adam-Adamson]

You can see the foil under the first layer! also if you showing the silver off why wouldn't you show us at least a glimpse of you emptying the suitcase, you took the time to empty it why not show us at least some of it because it is FAKE!

[@CincinnatiGifts]

Our inclination at this point is to hold on to it, and see if silver climbs again. Likely even won't sell, at any price, as we are well aware of the precarious state of the economy, teetering on collapse. Sadly, the day may come when precious metals are the only currency being traded, and it may very well take a full ounce of silver to get a tank full of gas or a week's worth of groceries. Time will tell.

My aunt's husband's brother committed suicide about twenty four years ago. He worked for Standard Oil. Anyway....he did not believe in banks. He also never married and lived alone. He hid all his money around the house. Under the carpet, under the floor, inside walls....everywhere. I got to help go through the house looking for all the money. It was amazing. His brother was also a tight wad. I did a lot of work that day and never received a single penny after discovering thousands of dollars. Funny though....and I just happened to think of this....no one searched the yard for what might be buried. Oh shit.

[@benlyons83]

Just wondering why you didn't show the unstacked pile of silver bars? Thats the very reason you have so many doubters.. Just seems fake.

[@alan30189]

I was wondering where I left that suitcase. Can I have it back with the contents? LOL Nice find! Wait until silver prices rebound before you consider selling. It may be a year or more and they may go down further, based on the predictions on gold. Silver prices seem to follow gold prices, unfortunately. Did the owner of that house die and have no relatives, and you bought the house with its contents? Just curious on how it was left there and you found it. Go Bengals!

[@forterierocks]

Wow what a find... I live in a 100+ year old house wish I could find something like that hidden in the walls or attic lol time to start metal detecting the house. :)

[@CincinnatiGifts]

The chest was one of those old shipping trunks from the 1890's, and is built like a tank- likely the reason it was chosen to house a half million dollars' worth of silver bars. Will probably keep it as well, if for no other reason other than a memento of this enormous find.

[@realcoinguy]

Nice find. If someone bought the property through estate sale as is, the bars belong to the new owners provided they were not stolen. No doubt they are all real.

[@paulshankin4368]

Congratulations on that find! What a score!!

[@Cohodes]

Worked his whole life collecting his wealth to leave it like that ...wild find

[@1evilace1]

Sweeeet, this would be a wet dream,thanks for sharing:)

[@MightySmaug]

Badass find! That is a monster collection! Makes my scraps look like pennies...

[@sugershakify]

Hang on to that silver. Do some research into it's long term supply vs demand structure. silver is 2nd most widely used commodity behind oil. 40% of global mining supply comes from China and Mexico, both of which have known reserves of less than 10 years left. It's not something that is going to happen in 1-2 years, but 10 years from now it will make insane gains. $200-500/oz would not surprise me and is within historical price actions.

[@gunitbot6]

the owner died and no body new about the silver , that's how it got left behind, simple as that, there is no other explanation as to some one would collect bars for many years and then just levee them, or for get about them. if some one can think of a different explanation please delight me , send me a message through google

[@Castorios]

LOL, thanks for sharing one of our wildest fantasies dude... I know that you must have spent some time making this video (and description), so I won't spoil the fun for everyone (and for you, and for me ;). Make sure you don't spend all of that on candy !

[@frefaref]

lol i love these people who say to give it back, you need to ask yourself, if you had that many silver bars, would you leave it behind, no the guy that owned that house probably died or something and had no family to go through the house

[@2tommyrad]

Congrats!!! on a once in a lifetime find.

[@CincinnatiGifts]

To those voicing skepticism at the video, and at the bars seen, ask yourself how long of a video would be required to show ALL 19,000+ bars, in an attempt to convince the nay-sayers. We had chopped about an hours' worth of video down to the five minutes seen here, for brevity's sake. What were you guys wanting to see? An hour-long documentary?

[@camperkeith894]

I hope you do the right thing and try to find out if the previous owner had children. They should inherent it not you. Unless you bought the property and everything in it was included in the price, that's a different story then. Good find for what its worth.

[@thevendordude]

wow id say that is better than finding buried treasure.. hopefully you are able to keep all that silver and do what you want with it. Also, the chest the silver was in looked to be in remarkable shape as well. Do you plan on keeping that as well?

[@CincinnatiGifts]

I'm sure the original stacker had his reasons. Safes draw too much attention. Safes literally scream "I HAVE MONEY!!!" A more obvious solution would be to hide them someplace no one would ever look. I mean, how many people have 100-year old chests in their garage? An ideal hiding spot, and genius. A safe the size of this chest would've been needed to hide this much silver, and I think would draw so much unwanted attention from anyone breaking in.

[@joshgibbs3777]

Sweet find dude

[@jimmyvee2189]

Some people are just SOOOOOOOO DAMN LUCKY !!!

[@JohnSmith-lm9pg]

Omg at long last you have found my Silver.. I've been in distraught about it for a very long time, & at last you found it.. For your good will you can keep 1.. ok ok, 2 bars for your troubles, & post the rest to yours truly..

[@geggs1]

Crazy looking stack.

[@merseybeat1963]

The "intent" or why is not your or anyone else's concern, only who's is it ? Is it a home you bought? If yes..every thing in it is property of the person who owns/bought the home..unless there are circumstances that gives ownership to someone else. The person who was collecting it possibly was doing so without telling anyone & passed away with his/her secret intact.

[@CincinnatiGifts]

Interesting concept. We never thought of that. Most of the bars we pulled out of there looked mint- even the ones clearly dating from the 70's. Some, obviously, were dirty and tarnished, particularly the further down we dug, but it is quite possible that the aluminum helped further tarnishing from occurring. Thanks for your input.

[@markhadley1545]

The foil may well have been for tarnish prevention. When salt, aluminum foil and water are combined they create a chemical reaction known as ion exchange. During this process, the tarnish on the silver is transferred to the foil. In fact, if your silver is tarnished enough, you'll actually see brown tarnish on the aluminum foil.

[@RaySarasin]

VERY nice find who cares what other ppl say good luck to you ppl cheers

[@papito7757]

Owners relatives I think get dibs on that right? I mean if they saw this video wouldn't they have a legal claim?

[@ericslezak8465]

Any for sale?

[@smasher1546]

that thing was probably a bitch to carry ha

[@zoranallen5205]

why would they leave it

[@CincinnatiGifts]

I hope so. We've already begun to seek the advice of legal counsel over ownership rights with respect to such a find.

[@BradGoodyear]

Questions, who's garage? who's house previously. I assume your going to pass it to the previous family that actually owned it? Its not a find as you call it. It was in a garage stored in a suit case. The right thing to do is give it to the family that owned it previously.

[@xXcashXx3]

every body is getting mad cus hes got more money then them lol

[@yrusonoitall]

Who's garage did you find these in? So did you cash in, or what?

[@vaovanvu]

19,400 troy ... what a big save :)

[@ohyeah10456]

Wow nice retirement right keep it up.

[@kurtkrueger5622]

Have a Merry Christmas.

[@craigwood2174]

Get your self a art bar book some of those bars may be worth hundreds by them self for your information

[@ronlamanna8908]

those are mine I left them in sinsinnatty a long time ago when I was a hippy ho back in the day...

[@jayethier4392]

hes gunna sell to a dealer, not you who wants just 20 bars. hes got 19thousand of them, think hes gunna ship them out 20 at a time? ur kidding. get a clue buddy.

[@laural1334]

Wow!! Awesome!!

[@skeebert]

The original owner died, and could not take the silver with them. Wait for a half decent price, and dump them. All it is is a box of metal, collecting dust. Think of all the nice/rare/cool things one could buy, or the security one would have with that kind of money.. Spend some, save some, invest some.. You could make $400000 last a lifetime of wealth, if you invested it properly.. It is a cool find. And obviously don't be foolish and sell them before the price is right, but don't be on the opposite end of the spectrum either, holding on to them until you die, just so your next of kin can sell them with no regard for your wishes, and piss all the money away partying and wrecking shit..

[@basementshaman2407]

I don't understand why you take them out of the trunk. No one can lift 1200 lbs. and You should cash it all in and spend all that money now.Put some people to work ;don't die hoarding like the first owner.

[@TheMkarr]

Give us a better sounding re-do. It's the right thing to do if you are going to call me stupid. I know silver & will admit error if I could really hear it. Thanks for the name calling.

[@tqtrinh01]

Nice find. Just for reference purposes only :). !!

[@CincinnatiGifts]

Well, we likely won't sell. If you are seeking to buy one or two at a time, there are many reputable outlets that can accommodate your request (JM Bullion, Apmex, etc.)

[@batmandeltaforce]

it was a very good day.... somewhat scary I bet:)

[@CincinnatiGifts]

Got tired of the dumbasses trying to sound smarter than they really are, pointing out every flaw in the video, searching for every opportunity to call "FOUL!", when they have no clue. Had to set comments to approval only.

[@silverwoman7469]

Wau, someone had lucky strike :) ...nice

[@CincinnatiGifts]

Even if we HAD done as you asked, people would've still bitched and moaned that THAT was faked. People are such idiots.

[@destinywalker1959]

Nobody fakes 1 oz bars of silver dummies!!!!

[@hadrock83]

Now im seeing silver everywhere by the tons

[@RowlandDC]

finders keepers?!

[@justinbrown3681]

They sound like plastic when they hit each other. This is so fake. Anyone stacking that much silver could afford some safes.

[@Waterlooplein1]

It is not a matter of being skeptical but I find it odd you do not say where exactly you found it. Did you buy a new house? Did you find it in some other house? It appears you had to have found it where it was, out in the open. It certainly is an incredible find. And you might have said SHIP load. Ha Ha.

[@CincinnatiGifts]

All 19,000 bars stacked up? Outside the case? When a HUNDRED of them topple over at the slightest touch??? Are you serious??????? Idiot.
