ONE might think it is their lucky day when uncovering a safe buried in the seabed just off the coast of a popular beach in Western Australia.

The man, Quoin Sellenger, who found the safe, might therefore feel a little cheated after he opened his find and all he unearthed was a packet of beef jerky.

A clue to the fact the safe did not contain buried treasure was immediately apparent once it was wrestled free from the seabed, with it emitting a potent smell.

An angle grinder was used to open the safe, where all that was found was a 30g packet of what was advertised as “the world’s hottest beef jerky”.

To make matters worse, the product was expired.
