I was at a flea market about 3 years ago, and a guy was there selling storage locker stuff. There were albums of pictures of a family with each person named and all the kids parties and school activities. and family trips out west, spanning about 20 years. Even a baby in a coffin. At the end of the day he just tossed them all into the dumpster. I kept thinking about who these people were, and knew that they wouldn't voluntarily just abandon those things. He could have asked the storage people to call them and they could pick them up, but he didn't care, but things happen and sometimes people just can't pay the storage fees. I took them all out of the dumpster and by bit and piece checking the names, and any clues, I have located the original owners, and will surprise them soon to give it all back. There were photos of grandpas and grandmas that may not still be alive, and weddings too. Sometimes the memories are worth more than money.
I was thinking the same as I was watching this. Someone really did invest a lot in these things and if I were the one finding stuff like these I would call the owners and offer to sell the stuff back to them at a slight profit. Its sad to think that some of these stuff are family heirlooms, worth more in memory than in money!
My brother became the proud 2nd owner of a 1911 model t Ford. It was stored in the family barn of the owners grandson, who took orders from his dad in fall of '38. Every year in the fall he'd put a few squirts in each cylinder and turn it over. Bro bought it about 20 years ago. He drove it home!!!
I feel bad for whoever left this stuff here. It's heirloom stuff, and organized nicely, not dumped in there like a loser would do. You can tell they were quality people.
My sister and I spent a few years cleaning out our dad's house because there were hidden gems everywhere. It was an off-and-on effort, if we had concentrated time we could have knocked it down in a few months, but that's not life sometimes. At times I thought about renting out some storage lockers so we could sell the house and go through stuff later, but I was so fearful of something going wrong with that and having heirlooms, quality antiques, various collections, etc., selling in some storage locker sale for $50 to some knucklehead. Ultimately it was just easier to go through stuff at the house and deal with it there. It was like a big storage locker that we already owned.
Glad I came across your channel today. That was a great storage unit buy, and you still have a lot more to go through. The guns are great, the pocket watch with chain is beautiful, but I was really taken by that gorgeous geode you flashed on the screen. The markings and quality of that one was fantastic.
4:57 Take that blade to Rick in Las Vegas. He LOVES those things and will take all the risk! GREAT unit, man! Congrats to you and your family. Looks like retirement may come sooner than you thought!
The glass thing is a wine chiller. You put ice in the back hole and fill the top with wine. The ice chills the wine from the center without watering it down.
I watch a lot of these vids and you, by far, are the coolest one I have watched. I see the diggers, and the pokers and the prodders and then I see you. Slow, methodical, look at every piece, not toss anything around. Bravo! Everything has value to someone, if you take the time to market it correctly all the stuff you find can sell.... I love the video and thank you for the ride along , the vid, and the time it takes to edit and post!
You’ve probably found this out by now, but the curvy knife is a Moro Kris from the Philippines or Indonesia. Alas, in the quick glimpse you gave us, it looks like a tourist model.
I think the universe called you because you're an individual that would treasure and make good use of most of these items possibly collected over a lifetime.
Just found you channel. Very nice unit. I also like the way you edit and present your finds. Very concise and to the point of what I personally like to see. I will now be stuck going through hours of your videos.
4:50 that blade is called "keris". Traditional weapon from Indonesia. Indonesian believe that some "keris" posses magical power. (Sorry for my bad English)
Amazing haul!!!!! Retire early if you can , you can always go back to "work", my Dad could have but didn't retire and died at 70 ,my stepdad retired at 62 and died 2 yrs later, their life's hard work and future plans left as inheritance.
Good unit. I worked for a guy that bought storage units for five years. My job was to empty out the units. He always said one out of ten paid for the ten. I also went to the dumps two to three times a week. Only once have a seen a better unit than yours. I have found only one that equals yours. Have found Harley's and things. When you do this you need a outlet for the furniture, tools, houeshold and such. He had a large thrift store. Incredible unit, good for you.
Holy cow! Just that 1911. If that stock is an original? That Mark 1! Wow! Just wow! If you have any of the arrow heads for sale I’d like to buy a handful.
4:48 is keris. weapon from java, indonesia. Clean the metal using coconut water or lime juice or noni fruit slowly and carefully. Let the auction determine the price.
That stuff looked like someone's favorite collectables. I know I wouldn't put things like that into a storage unit unless I was shipping out to war or moving to Alaska for 6 months to work a job or something...something that would cause you to move out of your home. I bet this guy didn't make it back from such a trip. Congrats on an awesome investment. At least it went to someone who recognizes its' value and appreciates it.
Nice haul! And I agree with an earlier poster - that glass item is a wine carafe. You put the ice is the pocket so that it does not dilute the wine as the ice melts.
Brian...that Glass bulb that you found is a wine cooler. You fill the main bulb with wine and the small bulb with ice and it cools the wine from the inside. Nice finds
Correct! A buddy of mine had a "Red 9" broomhandle mauser, which is pretty much the same except it has a big number "9" embossed on each side of the grip that is painted red. Really cool old gun!
Haha cool video, very interesting. I live 15 minutes from the Petrified Forest National Park and we find petrified wood everywhere around our house and the surrounding area. We also find tons of Native American artifacts around here, I love that kind of stuff....not to mention I am a huge firearms enthusiast! This video just got you a new sub, keep them coming sir!
My respect is for the true owner of this wonderfull collection .
It is a real shame that he had no real family to enjoy his hidden gems.
Not a bong, it's a wine carafe; the hole in the side is to hold ice cubes, so that the wine can be cooled without diluting it when the ice melts.
thank you
I like that you involve your kid. I try to keep my kids busy. Real life stuff not screen time! Great video

Wonderful!!!!
I have done the thing... I just couldn't throw their life away!

The people who put it there were quality. Their kids you dumped it, not so much.

Good idea.
I would love to know or hear the owners stories. Too bad..
Does he sell this stuff online somewhere?
I have to commend you for getting right to the "meat of it" rather than wasting our time, and boring us to death like other "storage finds" do!
Most beautiful pocket watch I've ever seen! Wow!
It’s a shame that a families treasures are left in a unit but it’s also nice that this guy appreciates everything in there.
These are the videos that make me want to start buying units. Awesome finds man!!
Go for it!
as a small time antique seller, its fun watching this video n the stuffs was a good find.
That is the mother of all storage units, so cool !
This is a good find whoever had all of this stuff must of been amazing person
Love the look of the Ford in your garage !
First time here and just wanted to say thank you for sharing this experience
Our pleasure!
I am so jealous what a find the Browning was beautiful what can I say congratulations on that one. So much man goodies.
Great haul!! Tons of cool stuff.
4:47 that nusantara silat weapon name is "keris"
WOW! You got some REALLY good stuff from this unit! Several of the items shown will bring at LEAST $850 each! 👏🏼😎
Dude, that was a major score. So many collector items running into the thousands.
Absolutely brilliant find..
Glad I came across your channel today. That was a great storage unit buy, and you still have a lot more to go through. The guns are great, the pocket watch with chain is beautiful, but I was really taken by that gorgeous geode you flashed on the screen. The markings and quality of that one was fantastic.
Awesome brO, what a JACKPOT.. very Nice , I think with that Remington Riffle alone you already got your money back.
4:57 Take that blade to Rick in Las Vegas. He LOVES those things and will take all the risk! GREAT unit, man! Congrats to you and your family. Looks like retirement may come sooner than you thought!
I have a 62a .22...
Mine is a 1957 model, LOVE IT!
I have really enjoyed your video! Loved the fine China.
How Lucky Can You GET!!!! Wow
Love that galaxie in your garage. My dad had one when i was a kiddo. I loved that car
I feel for the original owners . Congratulations
The bong is actually a wine vase ice goes in the side bulb wine in the big side keeps it cold not watered down.
Wow , best storage score I have seen yet ,
I’m happy for your find...If you keep ambitious good things happen ...Your earned it .
You know what they say about idle hands😇
That Yamaha guitar & records collection are two that caught my eyes the most...must be some rare records there...
They went into my collection!
What a awesome storage unit 🔫💲👍👍
man that is a major score on antique guns ,thousands,
The glass thing is a wine chiller. You put ice in the back hole and fill the top with wine. The ice chills the wine from the center without watering it down.
4:50 the blade you hold its call "KERIS". KERIS is ancient Indonesian weapon used by kings in ancient times to fight.
2:42 that kiddo was like yooooohh getting two steps back
And 4:48

That is a dream unit one in a few hundred if not a thousand.
You’ve probably found this out by now, but the curvy knife is a Moro Kris from the Philippines or Indonesia. Alas, in the quick glimpse you gave us, it looks like a tourist model.
yup..
you're right.. it's a KRIS.. maybe from Indonesia, Philippines or even from Malaysia..
the 1911 with 22 conversion and stock was a legendary find, if the gun and the stock has correct serial numbers.. looking at big bucks
I think the universe called you because you're an individual that would treasure and make good use of most of these items possibly collected over a lifetime.
Amazing day for you
My bro...good luck and keep up the good work 👍🏽
Just found you channel. Very nice unit. I also like the way you edit and present your finds. Very concise and to the point of what I personally like to see. I will now be stuck going through hours of your videos.
Wine decanter with the spout. Ice goes in the big hole, and there was a plug that used to close it.
Just that Remington 62 is worth more than he paid for the unit
Yep , like to have that collection .
And I was about to Google what happens if you find guns in a storage auction and then you answered it! Great video, good finds.
4:50 that blade is called "keris". Traditional weapon from Indonesia.
Indonesian believe that some "keris" posses magical power.
(Sorry for my bad English)
Kris
It's a US Navy Cutlass.
So fun!!
Congratulations dude! What an awesome find!!!
What fun i had! Thanks for the comment
Awesome treasures!!! 👍
Awesome dude .
I wish you the best of luck to you and your family
Apreciate that!
😂Bong😂...wine chiller still very cool antique classic
if i had found that stuff-- most of it i wouldnt even sell just keep i mean thats some cool shit
You found a Keris, the blade with curve on its sides. Keris is a traditional weapon in Java, Indonesia. Sweet find!
not keriz it's krixx knife
Great find
Wow killer unit man!! Lucky!!
Amazing haul!!!!! Retire early if you can , you can always go back to "work", my Dad could have but didn't retire and died at 70 ,my stepdad retired at 62 and died 2 yrs later, their life's hard work and future plans left as inheritance.
Sad but frequently heard story
Who was this man? We deserve his stories behind the collection and his travels.
I am sure that man is pissed off this guy his stealing is stuff. I assume that man died?
@@niteriderband4713 probably someone considerably older and now-deceased. His kids likely tossed the stuff in there and forgot about it.
I know that in all likeliness the original owner is no more but his family or friend could tell his story.
that gorgeous remington right off the bat... got damn
I’m gonna say somebody died and that’s family heirlooms, sad
I agree.
yep
possibly a soldier

Incredible unit, good for you.
Awesome finds. I am going to start buying units in my area
Holy cow!
Just that 1911. If that stock is an original?
That Mark 1! Wow! Just wow!
If you have any of the arrow heads for sale I’d like to buy a handful.
The stock doesn't belong to the 1911
@@martimhenriques1169 That is a 9mm Browning High Powered. Not a 1911.
that glass caraffe is for wine , you put ice in the hole and wine in the jug
Great video !
You got a good helper !
High 5 to you finally someone who doesn't showcase or act like a child looking forward to more of your videos
wah ada keris juga. weapon from one of tribe in Indonesia. cool
Arrowheads can be worth alot too especially a vaste collection, my stepfather finds and collects em
That's a very unique Kris you got there, I think that's worth alot with that patina
The Kris is from Indonesia.
Nice score. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank ya. Good to hear from you.
4:48 is keris. weapon from java, indonesia. Clean the metal using coconut water or lime juice or noni fruit slowly and carefully. Let the auction determine the price.

At 5:32 is a carafe for tea or water. The hole is to hold ice cubes to keep ur beverage cold
6:48 Daddy what's a Money shot ?
wow amazing sana all
Nice haul! And I agree with an earlier poster - that glass item is a wine carafe. You put the ice is the pocket so that it does not dilute the wine as the ice melts.
🍷might have to test it out to make sure it works
@@thefreezedryingcommunity Fantastic idea!
I like that Railway pocket watch..
The .22 converversion for the .45 is worth big bucks and with the buttstock ,just wow.
Do you have follow up videos on storage units and how you go about pricing and selling things?
04:49 "old KERIS" from malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.. good value for KERIS
4:47 thats is Keris, a traditional weapon from Indonesia..its look like very old
Anjay indo
Its called “KRISS” used by Muslim Moro warriors in the Philippines during Spanish Insurrections.
Just a note for future reference, attaching the stock to the 1911 makes it an SBR, and without a tax stamp an illegal one at that.
I love collecting guns and I would buy any of those lol.
Sweet score buddy 👍
Wow, that was a crazy unbelievable honey hole.
Brian...that Glass bulb that you found is a wine cooler. You fill the main bulb with wine and the small bulb with ice and it cools the wine from the inside. Nice finds
That is for chilled wine. ice goes in the bubble part
That wooden stock you attached to the 1911 is actually a mauser c96 "broomhandle" ww1 german pistol holster
Correct! A buddy of mine had a "Red 9" broomhandle mauser, which is pretty much the same except it has a big number "9" embossed on each side of the grip that is painted red. Really cool old gun!
Haha cool video, very interesting. I live 15 minutes from the Petrified Forest National Park and we find petrified wood everywhere around our house and the surrounding area. We also find tons of Native American artifacts around here, I love that kind of stuff....not to mention I am a huge firearms enthusiast! This video just got you a new sub, keep them coming sir!
China set is possibly Lemoge and can fetch 2k or more. Great unit.
The curvy blade is called a kris blade.
That was a nice score.
Greetz from Germany.
Interesting person owned that. Kept expecting to see a metal detector in there
your living my dream.
Damm i would never lose such a unit if i were the owner
Nice 👍
Oh, that wavy blade dagger is called flamberge. It’s supposed to make a wider wound that bleeds more. There are also swords like that.
I thought it was a Kris. But I aint no expert.
This is the best one I’ve seen
