NYC Couple Discovers Safe with Up to $100,000 While Magnet Fishing

James Kane and Barbi Agostini stumbled upon a potentially life-changing find in a Queens lake, though the cash's condition poses challenges.

The couple found the safe during a magnet fishing session in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
The safe contained stacks of $100 bills, estimated to be worth between $40,000 and $100,000.
Water damage has severely affected the bills, and the couple plans to take them to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for restoration.
The discovery was reported to the NYPD, which allowed the couple to keep the money due to the inability to identify the original owner.
Kane and Agostini have been magnet fishing since the pandemic and document their finds on social media.
