A man who dug up a concrete box that was buried in his garden was left heaving when he smelled what was in it.
Tony Huismand was scouting around in his garden when he made the mysterious discovery, before deciding to document what he found on TikTok.
He wrote: "Found a secret box in the ground."
He then proceeded to dig about a bit until he got to the concrete container.

Tony can be heard saying: "I was doing some gardening in my back yard today and I uncovered some sort of crazy, secret concrete box in the ground.
"I found a handle after digging for a while, then after digging for a bit more I uncovered a second handle.
"I kept going until I got it cleaned to the point where I could start to attempt to lift it up.
"When I tried it was a little heavy so then I brought in the big guns. And you'll never believe what I found."
He can then be seen running away from the box, while he heaves and tries not to be sick. He also pulls his top to cover his nose.

He then reveals that it was actually a septic tank that he'd dug up.
When he started digging, he said he knew it was a waste tank, but he hadn't gone looking for it until now - six years after he'd moved in.
A plumber had visited and told him why his pipes had stopped draining in the house.
Unbeknownst to the family, the house was using a septic tank since they had made it their home - meaning he has no idea when it was last cleaned.

And judging by his reaction to the smell, it seems that it was well overdue one.

In a follow-up video, Tony said: "We didn't know we were on septic system.
"I have lived here for six years, the landlord before me had lived here for two years, and the people before us had a garden bed right over the top of where the septic tank is.
"So who knows how long it's been since it's been cleaned - like eight plus years?

"And the contents in there, it was like the consistency of Jell-O. But not Jell-O you want to eat."
Nice.
