A forgotten Van Gogh worth millions. A Michael Jordan sneaker pulled from a dumpster. And a rare piece of movie history that helped inspire Walt Disney. These famous finds prove that sometimes the biggest fortunes come with an even bigger name attached.

Hidden cash sparks a bitter legal battle, a dream home turns out to be crawling with snakes, and a multimillion-dollar Viking treasure lands its finders behind bars. In these cases, striking it rich is only the start of trouble.

Some discoveries really do make an impact. From a live World War II bomb that explodes during an attempt to disarm it, to deadly chemical weapons buried beneath a neighborhood, and a volcanic eruption that wipes an entire city off the map, we revisit some of our most explosive finds.
