That was until they found the strange box in their attic and suddenly all the jokes seemed real the moment they opened it.

There was a map of Tampa area from the 1930s, a preserved hand and several Spanish and Portuguese coins of 18th century in the box, all of which was deemed authentic by several antique stores.
