A New Jersey man found a wad of cash under the porch of his Wildwood home.

Area resident Rich Gilson was renovating his home before he went digging and found the expected amount of cash.

While Gilson initially “thought it was junk,” he quickly changed his mind when he realized exactly what he had on his hands.

“My wife was there painting and I said you have to come see this, you won’t believe what I just discovered,” he recalled.
