Using A Metal Detector, This Man Discovered Fallout Shelter Underground.

In this article on Boredom Therapy, a man shared some photos of an awesome discovery he had after purchasing a property.
The man and his family decided to purchase an old house. However, they did not expect that this house contains a surprise that will blow their minds.

Their lawn looks like just any other lawn. But one of them had the great idea to use a metal detector on the ground. They did not expect that the detector would come up with anything.
After detecting something on the ground, they decided to dig it up. They found this:

A few more digging and they unearthed what seems to be the entrance to a fall out shelter.
Fallout shelters are underground vaults that is supposed to house people in case of a nuclear fallout or some catastrophic event. They were popular during the 1950s and 60s when the threat of nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Russia was looming.

These are the original plans for these fallout shelter.
Before they cleaned up the area, this is how the circular stairs look like.

Whoa, so THAT is how it is supposed to look like! Not bad, ain’t it?
In order to make the fallout shelter safer, they decided to add a reinforced door on it.

Now the fallout shelter is usable and perfectly safe. Who knows, the family might be able to use it in the near future, in case a zombie apocalypse happens. Or maybe if someone just wanted to do some fallout-themed party. The possibilities are endless!
