James Kane and Barbi Agostini visited Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens last Friday, tossing their rope fishing line with a powerful magnet on the end into a stream and pulling out a safe. After opening it, the couple found clusters of water-damaged $100 bills that amounted to about $100,000. While it was not the couple's first time catching a safe, they had never hooked one with treasure inside, so they contacted the New York Police Department to report their discovery in case it was a part of illegal activity.The couple said the NYPD told them they could not connect the safe to a crime because the money was in poor condition and there was no ID or hints of who the item belonged to originally. The police allowed Kane and Agostini to keep the money, the couple said.
Kane and Agostini became interested in magnet fishing during COVID-19 and bought their first kit in 2023.Some of their previous finds have included guns, a grenade, a full-sized motorcycle and a drone."People enjoy watching you take the garbage out of the water, especially in the heart of New York City," Agostini said.
