My son's find (cache?)

Hello all,

I should have know my first post of a find would not be mine.
here's the story: My son works for a telephone company and while working on one of the lines, in a rural area, he noticed
a plastic box in the melting snow. He was going to walk by it because of his busy schedule, but stopped and looked inside only to find a wet and molding treasure. The 1922 $20 gold certificate caught his attention and then all the silver was even better.
He called me very excited, as I was for him. We guessed that maybe someone lost it when moving but nothing in the box identified an owner, so I told him I would post it here for all to see. ( the numbers on the rosies refer to the year)
Thanks for looking and HH.
Jack

Outstanding find and unusual to be in a plastic box in the snow.
