The couple, both 24, bought their house in March last year for£366,000 and started gutting the property right away – but then, they discovered newspapers from the 1960s and even bones.
As they’ve continued with the renovation, the pair has come across more unique items- which they show in a clip posted on TikTok.
The caption reads: “There seems to be something new under every room we cut into.”
As Eton, a project manager, pulls up the downstairs floorboards, he also comes across a glass prescription bottle from the 1850s labelled: “Dr S N Thomas, Eclectric Oil.”
TikTok users were left in awe of the rare finds with some believing there could be a hefty fortune on the cards.
One person added: “Sell that can it’ll be worth thousands.”
Another one said: “I’d keep the Pepsi it’s so cool.”
Someone else commented: “Amazing bottle!!”

While they don’t know exactly how old the can is, it matches the brand’s 1970s era packaging.
Other cans from that era are listed for sale at a whopping £72 per pop.
“We liked the quirky features of the old house and knew we’d be able to work with its charm to make it great,” Cassidy, a high-rise land developer from Ontario, Canada, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“Although it may not have been our first choice, it’s been a great adventure so far.
“Old homes throw a lot of curve balls which you can’t plan for until you begin tearing down walls and really getting deep into it.
“Eton and I are doing all of the work ourselves while working full time so we aren’t moving at super speed, but we are spending every evening and weekend working away.”
