Turning to TikTok, the pair disclosed they initially made their find a year prior. However, a year later, they are still discovering objects dating back over a century.
Their video commenced with Vinny probing around the wooden beams of a room and coming across a monochrome photograph. It also came with a prescription with a date of 1925, which was intended to be submitted at a chemist in New Jersey.
Vinny then extracted a New York journal sheet showing the headline, ‘Bandits Killed’, marked 1931. Following this was a dusty bottle of oil for mechanical stitchers and grass cutters, a toy infantryman and a shoehorn bearing the inscription – Daniel J. Ahearn.

Vinny subsequently came across an orange thread – presumably for a sewing machine, a wooden peg and a condolence message. It stated: “With deepest sympathy. Emma, Rick, Jenny and Ralph.”
Another play figurine was next, as was a large lightbulb and a container of dusting powder.
In the description, Amanda disclosed: “One year later we’re still finding items left in the walls by past tenants in different areas of the house during renovations.
“If you have the chance to purchase a more mature residence, do it! You never know what you’re going to discover!”

Commenting in reaction to the popular clips, one TikTok follower questioned: “Are you going to place any of them back?”
Amanda responded: “We want to determine a way to showcase them in the home such as a small museum. I was thinking of at least taking pictures of everything and placing them back in the walls with our own objects.”
A second individual concurred, advising the pair: “I would acquire a small display cabinet and exhibit all of these in the dwelling somewhere. That would be so magnificent to possess little pieces of history from my residence as mementos.”

A third exclaimed: “Absolute treasures! And just imagine the former residents having no idea that all of these strangers 100 years in the future being fascinated by this.”
Whilst a fourth TikTok user considered: “Adding back some of this awesome original stuff would be a brilliant idea as well, and perhaps a letter concerning your discoveries. Maybe as time passes include some newspaper segments from this current period?”
