But nothing could have prepared the treasure hunter for what he was about to find inside. Leigh began pulling out a collection of foreign photographs, documents, keys, empty jewellery boxes, and a variety of other personal items. 'We Googled the name on the passport and found out it belonged to a royal family," he told News au. The surfer, who can not reveal which royal family the safe belonged to due to an ongoing police investigation, said he had managed to track down the owner on social media and return the personal items. Leigh made a call on Facebook and asked the stranger if they were a member of the royal family - to which they replied "Yes". 'I think I said 'So I found the Crown Jewels.' And we both had a laugh,' he told the outlet. But this isn't the only time Leigh has struck gold while scouring open waters for hidden treasures. He has found hundreds of safes in canals around the globe, some of which have less royal backgrounds. The hunter revealed that some safes have been looted and discarded by criminals. The thrill of finding out what lies inside the abandoned safes is what keeps Leigh going, as some contain credit cards, car keys, coins, and guns, while others are left mysteriously empty. He recalled once discovering a safe so large, that he had to hire a crane to pull it from a canal in Amsterdam, where he currently lives. Inside the mega-safe was a bundle of memorial coins that he later turned over t){kind=link}
