A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement

1
A New York man retired. He wanted to use his
retirement money wisely, so it would last, and
decided to buy a home and a few acres in
Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant
for 15 years. the owner and wife both had died,
and there were no heirs. The house was sold to
pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but
the large barn had steel doors, and they had been
welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra
expense to see what was in the barn, and it
wasn't complimentary to the property
anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the
place. The New York guy bought it at just over
half of the property's worth, moved in, and set
about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was
killing him. So, he and his wife bought a
generator, and a couple of grinders.......and
cut thru the welds. What was in the
barn...............?
