This man brought in an ancient treasure chest without knowing what's inside. "Was there anything inside it?" "I haven't been able to open it." It's an old treasure chest once used to transport gold and silver bars. The owner explains he bought it for $2,000 and says he's tried opening it with the key and in many other ways, but never succeeded. "Did you try and shoot it open?" "No comment." Rick is thrilled by the chest and believes it could be hiding valuable coins or even important documents, so he makes a proposal. "Before we negotiate, we have to know what's inside." "I have one guy I think can get into this." "It sounds fine to me." The expert arrives and is immediately impressed. He explains that this was the typical design of safes in the early 17th century and points out that the hole appears to have been made by a very old firearm, something that actually increases its collectible value. "This is a real treasure chest." He then attempts to open it, explaining that the key works through a highly complex mechanism far ahead of its time and reveals that the key actually goes on top of the chest. Okay, let's stop. Comment for part two.
