Couple can't believe what they find in the garden
Florida Panhandle (USA) - The treasure hunt of a couple from the USA in their own garden is unspectacular at first - until they suddenly come across a mysterious door in the ground.

TikToker Doug had armed himself with a metal detector that day to search his property in Florida for any valuable items.
At first it looked as if the treasure hunt would not yield any special finds for him and his wife.
In his TikTok video, the father can be seen walking around his garden a few times, with the detector occasionally beeping. But apart from a few nails and broken metal parts, the action was rather sobering.
But then - near a flower bed - the detector suddenly went off and signaled to Doug that there must be a large piece of metal in the ground.
The American immediately began digging a small hole, where he finally came across a light-colored iron plate about the length of a spade blade under the ground.
Curiosity got the better of Doug and he set about enlarging the hole until the entire metal plate was exposed. It quickly became clear: it was some kind of door!

In fact, the flap was relatively easy to push open with the spade, revealing an entrance that led to a cavity under the ground. Naturally, the resident took the opportunity to climb down using a ladder, while his wife filmed him climbing down.
Once at the bottom, Doug found himself in a tiny chamber in which the man could stand bent over. It was empty except for some dirt.
What had Doug dug up?
The local resident suspected that it was a rainwater storage tank for an old irrigation system. His onlookers, however, who had been following the "excavation work" with great interest, guessed that it was a sewage treatment plant that had once been used. However, Doug did not look like the underground room reeked of faeces in the three clips.
It is not yet known what the family will do with the find. But the discovery was certainly an experience for the couple's two children!
