Home owner gets the money 10% was a very nice gesture in my book

So the lesson here is: "Renovating can be extremely rewarding or extremely painful."

I'm Japanese. Japanese soldiers absolutely used their blades in WW2. They didn't carry full sized katanas very often, but they did carry Tantos. They were ceremonial, yes, but they were also not mass produced junk. Some were produced for soldiers, but many were family blades belonging to their ancestors dating hundreds of years prior. Blades that had been passed down for generations. They were terrified to lose them to Allies as souvenirs, so many were scuttled. They used them in close quarters like Americans used combat knives. Was it as romanticized as The Last Samurai? No. But they did use them. Japanese soldiers also weren't allowed to surrender, lest they lose their honor. When faced with overwhelming enemy forces, they would charge the Allies with blades drawn if their ammunition and grenades were depleted, or perform Seppuku to keep their honor. Hundreds of soldiers have been found on idlands such as Iwo Jima in caves having had performed Seppuku rather than surrender. They also regularly executed and tortured prisoners with them. Japanese soldiers continued to fight the war long after it ended, one soldier refusing to believe Japan had lost and continued to fight until 1972. Another was fishing beside his issued rifle in the 60s, knowing the war was over and being afraid to surrender. Japanese soldiers had been sold propoganda by Emperor Hirohito that Americans and the Allies were barbaric people who would r*pe and torture anyone they came across before killing them. This fear caused civilians to Seppuku en masse, as they were terrified of the Allies due to brainwashing through this propoganda. This is also the reason they fought so hard and refused to surrender, and also why they took almost no prisoners.

The riddle book is typical of the time. The answers were sold separately. Another example was Nuts To Crack, a sort of broadsheet of puzzles & riddles. Reference: London Labour And London Poor (1840)

The basket just looks like someone stashed their silver and antique wooden duck decoy which has and had value and desirability

That underwater well was my favorite but now I’m just hoping that Donna doesn’t pay me a visit any time soon

A wise man once said watch Be Amazed

A bit long story here Ouro Preto, Brazil is a city where most of Brazil gold was mined back in the 18th century (the city name means "black gold") Back then when the Lisbon earthquake in 1755 that destroied mos of the Portuguese capital (and what the earquake didnt destroy the tsunami did) there was a gold tax called "o quinto" (the fifth part), where all the Brazilian gold was taxed in 20% to be sent to Portugal as funds to help raise Lisbon Of course many people used some "creative ways" to evade part of the tax, hiding gold-dust filled urns in walls, under the houses, you name it.. Even saints wooden statues were hollowed out to hid gold inside Now and again some of those urns are found

The bee hives were crazy because you would have gotten a lifetime supply of honey! Additionally, in your Worst Bug infestations video, there was a similar bee hive!

there´s actually a colony of bumblebees living in suspended-ceiling of my house. its not intensional beehive but they just decided to live here and its not really a proplem

"Buzzy flatmates "😂 We had a similar bee infestation at my childhood home and watched as the honey 🍯 was harvested albeit getting stung 🐝😉

WWII Japanese swords were not always mass produced. Some were family heirloom swords that had been in the family for 100s of years. And all were considered weapons and were used often to kill.

Bees are underated. We need them. And they wont sting unless you pose a threat. 🐝

This reminds me of another video I have seen of crazy renovations. One of them mentioned LAYERS of paint over the years. It would not surprise me that there would be anything of value hidden in the house that I grew up in, or even the one I am in now from the previous homeowners stashed away either in the attic or walls. Its like a scavenger hunt that you didn't know was happening!

1:48 I would! But not for the honey… all I want IS TO WORSHIP THE *BUBUYOGS!!!* (Filipino for bees)

Another day, another binge watching Be Amazed!

Your PRODUCTIONS ARE AMAZING! 😮🤯👍😬👌

the difference in his voice now and his voice 2yrs ago is mind blowing

Man he found the real life skibiti toilet 😊

Really enjoyed all this. It was excellent.

My favorite is the discovery of the ACTION COMICS #1. That spells serious dollars there!

For the riddles, I'm sorta at odds with the first one: What is it that makes everything visible but is itself unseen? - The two answers I'm juggling between are light and eyeballs. As for the second one, I had to look up the answer: What is it that is often brought to table, often cut, but never eaten? - A deck of cards. No clue about the 3rd one though.

In my childhood home, we found a (loaded) gun from the 1950's. We gave it to a friend. In a friends house, they found coupons from the 1940's & 50's.

The tuna and cat joke was hilarious. The most interesting find was the cemetery. Kinda creepy the patrons did not know they were going to church above a bunch of dead people.

How much stock footage do you want to use in your videos? This channel: YES

My dad is tunisian and when he was a child he axidentally broke a little bit of the floor of the living room in his dads house. He spotted a landmine and when he wanted to break more to get it grandpa then said to leave it be becouse the cement was too expensive. So its still there untill now i think.

The best part is that i didn't get worried about what I could find in my new house because im too poor to buy one 😂

The house where the $182000.00 was found. IMO the money belongs to the home owner. Not the Plumber. I mean, when they find say a broken pipe,do they share the costs with the homeowner? The original home owner who left it, sorry but when you purchase a property, everything left after signing is the new owners, unless there's some type of written agreement in the closing paperwork. For instance, when my parents sold our home in Eagle River, Alaska my mom had installed a white faux brick wall. Covering that wall was a gorgeous ivy that mom had trained. We're talking 12' x 8' . The new owners made certain that the ivy would be staying!

You always provide such colorful commentary and great videos. Thank you.

This is one of my favorite topics from Be Amazed. Thanks!

that 70s carpet would be fine in a baby/small child's room. Brightly colorful.

Saying it again (😂), I don't know if someone who's making these videos will see this, but there is a channel stealing your content, translating it to Czech and making them shorter. He even uses pictures from your videos. His name is ZEK.

This has got to be your funniest episode in a while. You should have a drink or two before each take moving forward 😂

25 years ago my grandfather in his old holiday house in the Italian countryside found hidden beneath the floor 2 war rifles, grenades and first aid kits from WWII, belonging to partisan rebels who used to hide outside the cities/towns to fight the fascists. It was all bought by a museum.

Been to those churches in New Haven. Can't remember if I went to the basement or not but I knew about the graves in one or more of the 3 churches on the green. I think you had to have money to be buried like that. It makes sense to do it that way because the ground could be hard to dig in when it use to get below zero there.

The "Winnie the Pooh" part got me laughing! 😂😂😂

The contractor should have been happy with 10%. The estate shouldn't have been entitled to squat.

There is a house somewhere along the Delaware River when George Washington and his party were trying to get across they had stopped at a place that had a well. The homeowners of this house happened to find it underneath their kitchen floor too. So they did the same thing they got it all restorated and put glass over the top and now you can see the well in which George Washington got his water for his men.

In 2004 we moved into our house and there were bees in our wall, about 6x2 area of bee hive. We found out because there was honey leaking through the cracks of the wall and I took a taste. A bee man came and removed them, I got to stand in my room while 100’s of drugged bees flew around me.

I don't think the person that found the money had any legal claim to it as it was not his home. Also the people that used to live there does not have any claim to it any more as they sold the home and that includes anything left behind. If I was to find anything valuable I would never tell anyone else about it. I wonder if the person that damaged the comic could be sued for destruction of private property?

I bean watching for 16 minutes and this is great so far

That duck was an antique. The goblets too. Ever watched antiques roadshow? The ducks represent marriage and the "silver" wares were either from ceremony or gifts. Hidden probably because it was a dowry and the most prized posessions of original owners.

I have a phobia of bees, if I even hear a buzzing sound, I’m running the opposite direction at Mach 3. No questions asked

Be amazed if you're reading this you should be the new mrbeast because of how good your videos are

Amazing video👍

The fact he kept going back to Donna lmao-

The people who went to see the titanic deserve a Darin award

I lived right near the guy in the second story just a couple miles away. When they detonated the bomb, it was so loud that I thought a semi truck crashed into my house.

There's a lake a mile from my house, kinda wanna make a hole connecting it from there to my living room too 😅🕳

so not as extreme as these, but while doing some renovations to my new home i found a few interesting things to say the least, 1 was a pair of speedos in a overhang that needed to go and there was no way to drop said item from the top floor so those were put in the wall delebrity, i found some porn in one wall, another wall had the old washer and dryer hook ups (still active) leaking causing issues in said wall, and thats just in 1 year in the home... wonder what i find the more i renovate the house, also 2/3 of the bathroom is done and nothing out of the ordinary there just golden shower yellow tiles that were plastic of all things that had to go...

When i was moving to my new home we found a secret storage area we didn't know we had big enough to store a laptop of some sort but we usually put bags on it so we didn't noticed

When doing a renovation in an 18th century house (Gloucester, MA) we found hundreds of shoes in the walls. This explains it! TY

I always leave surprises for future owners that renovate. Even in my current house when I redid the floors I painted KEEP OUT in red paint on the subfloor and left handprints being dragged to the fireplace.

Narration was on point!!! Loved it 😍

Wells in houses always remind me of lovecrafts "Pickmans Modell". 😱

8:13 when i was little, i used to ride my bike to school in shorts on winter days and it felt normal

What is it that makes everything visible, but is itself unseen? An eyeball. What is that which is often brought to table, often cut, but never eaten. A deck of cards. Which were made first, elbows or knees? You tell me.

If I'm a contractor and i break open a wall and find cash, I'm quickly packing it all in my bag and getting out of there. I'll come back there next day to finish the job, but no one needs to be the wiser. Never tell anyone about stuff like that.

Honestly, I'm amazed

1. If I found a bee colony, I'd call animal control. They know (or they know some one who knows) how to move a colony. 2. I know the narrator is only asking the question to be silly but, just to be clear, army soldiers don't go through customs. 4. BTW, did you know that, when shoes were first made after the dark ages, they were made so they could go on either the left or right foot. Ouch. #? (I lost count) -- $180,000 in the wall, found by the plumber. Yes, that's exactly how greed works. But you asked and I think the homeowner was being very fair offering 10% to the plumber as a finder's fee, it being their property. And, honestly, $18,000 is nothing to sneeze at. Because of his greed, he got a lot less. The basket behind the wall. I bet that was just forgotten when they cleaned out the storage area. Before cardboard boxes came along, baskets were often used as storage containers. What is it that makes everything visible but is, itself, unseen? Light What is it that is often brought to table, often cut, but never eaten? Playing Cards What is black and white and red all over?

The basket was left there because it was junk they didn't want😂

AWESOME DUDE! Love the content! Keep up the great work!

The carpet looks like the previous house owners love Christmas

14:56 the one that bought the Property S/he did buy everything on that property so none have legal rights to except the property.

Love this channel, particularly this narrator, he is the best. 🙂

I've noticed that narrators (on all channels) carefully cite locations of U.S. stories (i.e. Las Vegas, Nevada) but inevitably only the city & country of other nations (i.e. Montreal, Canada rather than Montreal, Quebec). It would be nice if locations outside the U.S. also included complete information as to location. That hair-splitting aside, I do enjoy your channel & narration!

(This is on the topic of renovations that never happened.) I have a Petro Wash gas station near my house that has been vacant since 2009. It had been operating fine before, but then, people graffitied the side of the station, the roof of the car wash collapsed, and the fuel tanks were removed. Then, they had to board the windows of the Food Shop. Plus, old signage left up advertised gas at $1.98 per gallon, which is nothing now. If that wasn't enough, the structure's roof that had the tanks under it had part of it collapsed. AND, the roof was moldy and caked with dirt. Seriously, please start renovating your gas stations when they're vacant.

The first riddle is light. Cut but never eaten has to be a deck of cards. As to elbows or knees... uh... you got me on that one, unless it's a reference to which word was made up first, but I don't actually know. lol.

Brilliant video as always ❤

I know exactly what’s behind my walls, 30 BILLION SQUIRRELS yea it’s annoying af but my parents are lazy and not doing anything about it

If you give it to a friend, then your luck will never end.

WOW I didn’t know this

You can still find IED's from the Korean War still to this day, there's so many left over.

Someone used a large artillery shell as an anvil. Would have turned the Anvil Chorus into the 1812!

My mom used to live in a house that used to be a trailer that was converted into a house, the well was under the bedroom floorboards, it had an underground reservoir it fed from....some of the best water ive ever drank!

Im one of the three that watched this when it came out

Be amazed is the most amazing youtuber And i never get bored from watching his videos even after watching the same videos multiple times which lead me to believe i have the answer to the riddle "what it often brought to the the table, cut, but never eaten" and im pretty sure the answer is aa cutting board

I watched - I’m afraid of toilets now 😂😎🎉🎉🎉👍. As always wonderful ! Well done ! Thank you

I love the fact half of these stories had military-grade equipment hidden in their homes incase a robber breaks into their home y'know you need a gatling gun or a bomb for those moments

Im always AMAZED, and you give me a laugh too.

I found old silver currency in the walls at a remodel in kc, mo. Antique pianos frequently have coins in them as well.

About those bees, I would HEAR them first and call a professional. Although all that free honey, yum!

We lived in an 8 bedroom mansion built in the late 1800's owned by a mill/beer producer. My dad knocked down a wall in the great room and a woman's boot and glove fell out. No one knew how they got there and I doubt anyone will

One of the first top 200

We were renovating our bathroom, and under the tile there was green, gross carpet!

There’s a lot of people who are leaving time capsules in their homes, garages and other places. The wicker basket is a time capsule.

If you buy a house and there's money in the walls, the money is yours, not the previous owner's because it's your house now.

Hearing that during World War II That you were soldiers with take souvenirs home, could be that The Cortana

I can imagine why there was a 'well' inside that old farm. In those days, you didn't have running water. thus you had a water-pump in the home, so you didn't have to use a well outside the home. This indoor 'well' is a left over of an indoor water-pump. I used to visit an old lady who still had one in the kitchen, next to her water-tap. She used it for watering the plants, since it was better than tap-water or rainwater. 'Naturally cleaned by nature, ready for the plants' , she said.

I don't know about others, but I don't tend to seal souvenirs in my walls where I can't see them.

What i find amazing about this video is that ive forgotten hafe the things you've said already.....

5:14 I'm often in my big, walk-in chicken coop, and no matter if I was just in it or not, my dad ALWAYS tells me to take off my shoes outside the door before walking into the house, and it gets annoying.

I have beehives outside my home, and love the honey. Unfortunately I am down to just one hive that I decided to let go native as an experiment. So far, they are still thriving 3 years later without any intervention. This spring in 2024 I will intervene and go back to treating for mites and taking care of any hive beetles. I am very curious what the comb looks like too. I will not be taking any honey that first go at maintaining them though.

2:42 is that a Lada?

you would think the comic book find would make people be careful with it but they tear the back page and that incompetence cost em $75,000 damn

If I found a colony of bees in my walls I would leave my house and I would never come back because I am terrified of bees.🐝=🏃

That made me laugh so hard. Poor wee Donna.

I just imagined what trying to fight a tank with a Katana would look like xD

If there was a beehive in any house I move into, I'd ask a professional to remove them since humans can have serious allergic reactions to bee stings. I don't want to take a chance when I have guests over, best way to avoid a lawsuit perhaps.

Keep it up mate ur vids are truly amazing
