Buying and fixing up an old home is an endeavor filled with all kinds of unique challenges, but there are also a good number of surprises mixed in, too!

A woman named Lucy is renovating a Georgian farmhouse with her husband and she posted a video with a text overlay that reads, “What we found when we finally opened the safe…”

Lucy’s husband opened up the safe and a text overlay told viewers, “We’ve found amazing things in the loft, so you’d think the safe would be even better.”

The safe contained a bunch of old documents and another text overlay reads, “But as we previously established, there was cutlery, including a silver spoon from George VI’s coronation.”

Another text overlay told viewers the safe contained, “My grandparents’ order of service from their wedding.”

The text continued, “Super special, but maybe not massively exciting?”

In the caption, Lucy wrote, “Honestly, it wasn’t quite the treasure trove I’d imagine might fund the renovation.”

Let’s take a look at the video.
