With all said and done, the Emanuel family had returned the safe to its rightful owner and finished renovating their backyard. Matthew Emanuel, in particular, wanted to make sure that he would never forget his extraordinary backyard adventure! So, the man and his wife decided to commemorate the wonderful experience with a small memento. Right next to the bamboo that Bamboo Bob and his team planted, the family placed a ceramic elephant.

The family wanted to mark the exact spot where they found the rusted box, as a way to remember the mystery box that had been sitting there rusting, waiting for them to break it open. At least, now they knew that a mystery and actual treasure could always hide right there, in front of their eyes!
