In an incredibly rare and exciting turn of events, the team at Atlas General Construction has uncovered a trove of priceless historical artifacts and treasures while renovating a home in Fremont, California. During a routine bathroom remodel, the construction crew stumbled upon what is believed to be a hidden safe containing a Nobel Prize medal, ancient jewelry, gold bars, and other invaluable items pointing to the home's previous resident being a highly-decorated war veteran and renowned academic or researcher.

 



An Unbelievable, Serendipitous Discovery Years in the Making

The incredible discovery occurred as Atlas General Construction was working to update the bathrooms in the modest mid-century Fremont house. As the crew disassembled the old pipes and tile, veteran contractor Bill noticed an unusual metal compartment concealed behind the plumbing fixtures. Upon cracking it open, he was stunned to find an old safe containing a literal treasure trove of valuables.

"At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me," recalls Bill. "As we carefully opened the safe, we were all in awe at the priceless artifacts contained inside – jewelry that appeared to be centuries old, gold bars and chains, prestigious medals, and most incredibly, an authentic Nobel Prize medal."

Among the museum-quality collection were:

  • A Nobel laureate medal, indicating the previous owner was a Nobel Prize winner

  • A gold bar dated back over 180 years

  • A stunning pearl and gold chain necklace from 1903

  • Another ornate gold chain from 1924

  • A medal from The American Legion headquarters in Indianapolis

  • A 1944 war medal believed to be for military service and valor

  • Other prestigious awards and valuables still being cataloged and assessed
