A pair of magnet fishing enthusiasts have reeled in the catch of a lifetime from a New York City lake — a muddy safe with an estimated $US80,000 in it. “I looked, and it was just pure hundred dollar bills,” said 40-year-old James Kane of the haul he made while ‘magnet fishing’ with his partner, 39-year-old Barbi Agostini. “Humungous stacks of them. I said, ‘I think life is about to change as we know it’.
Kane said he had been in touch with personnel from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, DC, and the couple would take the money there to try to have it restored. Refurbishing the cash could take years, Kane said. He estimated there was between $US40,000 and $80,000 in the lockbox — the couple is hoping to salvage about $60,000. The pair, from Queens, have been dating since 2016.
