Hi Dave!


I prefer Freaktography over Dave... More character!

My favorite photog on the site. Bonus points for finding bundles of cash.

Hey how did you get it to be featured in the media in the first press and of course, what happened to the money at the end?

Hey!

So, this happened in March of 2014 and I only told a few people at the time, then later on that year I posted it here in the Ontario forum, so up to this point it had only been told to friends and fellow explorers.

In January 2015 I noticed a lot of really bad news, such as the Charlie Hebdo bombing and the Boko Haram kidnapping just to name a few.

I decided to, in a small way, tell a good news story to whomever would listen.

I posted the story to my website and Facebook and it was quickly picked up by PetaPixel and then posted to Reddit....from there I literally lost all control of the story.

Next thing I know my website is blowing up and so is my email inbox with media requests or requests to publish it, praise, hate mail etc.

I turned down all interview and media requests and just sat back and watched as the story picked up a life of its own.

So, to this day every so often I still get notifications that the story is in the news again.

As for the money...you can read the story here: https://www.freakt...ouse-of-treasures/

Or the UER post by myself and Ground State here:

UE stories. A chance you found this and not somebody else. You made the best decision to give it back, that's really nice of you.
