You don’t necessarily have to go far to find treasure or come across something interesting.
Sometimes it happens even during regular renovation work or when cleaning up an old house.
So thought Chris and Collin Otkasek from California, never in their wildest dreams imagining they would stumble upon something unexpected when purchasing their home.
During the purchase, they assessed the condition of the house, both inside and out, as usual.
They noticed nothing unusual until the realtor selling the 1960s-era house pointed out a small feature in the backyard: a concrete opening that housed a radiation shelter from the Cold War, of which no one knew.
Naturally, this piqued the couple’s curiosity.
So, they decided to inspect the shelter, descended the rusty five-meter ladder, and opened the thick metal door at the bottom.
What they found there was impressive. The 30-square-meter shelter was fully equipped to survive a nuclear attack.
There was water, canned goods, food in old boxes, medicine, clothing, entertainment material, and much more.
The couple was amazed by the careful preparation that went into it.
Research revealed that the house previously belonged to a nuclear engineer named Elvin Kaufman, who built the bunker in 1961 to protect his family from potential atomic threats.
Fortunately, the bunker was never used, and the family simply forgot it existed.
Chris and Collin were thrilled with this historic discovery, viewing the items inside as a kind of time capsule that transported them back almost 60 years.
They were grateful for the legacy and hoped that no one would ever be forced to use such bunkers to protect themselves from nuclear explosions.
