An antique store owner in Canada has discovered that a hoarder has hidden a literal fortune in their home.
Alex Archbold owns a store called Curiosity Inc. and runs a YouTube channel that buys and sells his work for the business. He recently bought the contents of a house belonging to a music teacher, although he was apparently not aware of what was hiding in it.
Archbold did not know that Bette-Joan Rac was a hoarder before buying the late music teacher’s home, reports The Sun. Allegedly, the ancient book only knew that the house contained a grand piano.

On YouTube, Archbold documented his journey to explore the house, which mostly consists of digging through piles of boxes and bags. Some rooms were filled to the brim with containers, some of which contained designer clothes, while others were full of rubbish.
In other rooms, Archbold found silver dollars, wallets full of cash and bags that apparently contained gold and diamond rings. According to the Sun, the antique dealer described the former owner of the home as a millionaire. He says he knew the woman before she passed, but that he had no idea she was hiding valuables behind her front door.

Not all valuable articles are stored in clear places. An expensive ring was reportedly found inside a shoe. Archbold also found some small silver bars tucked away in a pile of pamphlets.
Archbold said he spent $ 10,000 on buying the home contents and has since made a profit. After auctioning it all off, he estimates he earned about $ 400,000.
