I acquired/found Bearer Bonds through my business activities. Should I claim the bonds as business income?

I buy and resell for a living. I bought a locked antique safe with the intention of reselling once I ciphered the lock. Inside the safe were bearer bonds. The bonds were purchased in the late 60's early 70's. Turned them over to Unclaimed Property and they sent me a check in 2017.  I would like to include these as Business Income. I have yet to receive a 1099 from the state yet. Thoughts?
