Buried treasures and pirates are the kind of thing you hear about in legends and movies. But when Matthew and Maria Colonna-Emanuel went digging in their backyard, they discovered that fiction can become a very shocking reality.
The Emanuel family lived in Todt Hill, Staten Island. For the longest time, they thought that an unsightly piece of metal that lay in their backyard was just an electrical box. Matthew Emanuel had lived in this home for about four years along with his wife Maria and their son. But although they knew every inch of their property by heart, there was one mystery that awaited to be discovered.
The Emanuels assumed that the silver
box underneath some trees outside of their home was nothing more than an old
cable box. But there was more to this box than met the eye, and it was about to
change their lives.
The family always assumed that the big piece of metal lying in wait in the corner of the backyard was nothing more than an electric box where electric pole wires were kept. Initially, the box was embedded so deep in the soil that no one paid it much attention, until Mother Nature intervened.
The rusty metal box was buried behind bushes and poison ivy alongside a fence around the house. Then, a deer came and ate four feet of the bottom of the foliage. The ruined trees looked so hideous that Emanuel decided to put bamboo (which has deer-resistant properties) in its place. But he had no way of knowing what he was about to uncover.
The deer had weakened the trees
which made them vulnerable to the elements when winter came. “With the heavy snow we got this winter, a lot of
them were falling down, they were top heavy,” Emanuel told the Advance.
Emanuel was once proud of his backyard, and he wanted to restore it to the way it was. But the plants and flowers were a mess and so were the trees. So, he called Bob Foley of the New Jersey landscaping company Touch the Earth Inc. And that’s when he learned that the box wasn’t really a box at all.
