HISTORYCHANNEL

From a $4 flea market frame concealing the Declaration of Independence, or a lost Fabergé egg in a Midwest flea market and even the holy grail of comic books hiding in someone's wall, we revisit the most astonishing, valuable discoveries.

Mysteries Unearthed With Danny Trejo

Most Valuable Finds

Some discoveries defy explanation, like fossilized vomit from the Jurassic era, a sewer blob with a pulse, even a long-lost toy discovered inside a man's lung. These freaky finds prove that reality can be stranger-and far creepier-than fiction.

Strange Finds

From a hidden cache of bones, to an ancient tomb shrouded in mystery and even a rare sports car dug up in a backyard; these eerie revelations prove that some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Grave Secrets

History's biggest discoveries aren't always its best. A diamond heist that unravels in a ditch, a colossal burning crater dubbed the "Gateway to Hell," and an island dominated by venomous vipers prove that when finds go big, they can also go very bad.

Big & Bad

From Mussolini's hidden bunker, to a warship built to dominate, and coins bearing Henry VIII's authority, these discoveries reveal how power leaves its mark long after its rulers are gone.

Powerful Discoveries

From a live WWII bomb discovered decades later, to a Civil War cigar hiding secret orders, to a Viking sword unearthed by a child, these finds reveal how the remnants of war can resurface when least expected.

Lost in Battle

A species thought lost forever is spotted again; a dog plays an unexpected role in recovering the World Cup trophy; a puppy from the Ice Age emerges intact after 18,000 years; revealing just how unpredictable the natural world can be.

Wild Discoveries

From James Bond's legendary submarine car uncovered in a storage unit, to a rock-and-roll guitar with a past as loud as its sound, and locomotives resting side by side on the ocean floor, these heavy-metal marvels prove history's strongest secrets can't stay buried.

Heavy Metals

Some discoveries come with consequences; gold that ruins lives, a cursed wreck beneath the sea, and a hidden safe linked to a famous burglar, show how the past can be as dangerous as it is tempting.

Digging Up Trouble

Riddles don't just live in books, they're all around us. From a hollow nickel hiding Cold War secrets, to an ancient chess piece that reappears after centuries, and even a mysterious underwater circle carved by an unlikely artist…these puzzling finds remind us that history likes to keep us guessing.

Puzzling Finds

Beneath the earth, frozen in the tundra, and hidden in the depths of the sea, lie some of the deadliest discoveries of all time; from an asteroid impact that nearly ended life on Earth to creatures once thought to be myths, and even a killer virus thawed from the ice, these shocking finds reveal the dark side of discovery.

Deadliest Discoveries

The world's greatest fortunes often surface in the most unlikely places; from a Fabergé egg found at a humble flea market, to rare baseball cards hidden inside an old piano, or even a backyard sapphire worth a king's ransom; these treasures prove that sometimes one person's forgotten clutter can become another's once-in-a-lifetime discovery.
