As a collector of all types of firearms seeing this and knowing someone lost this makes me kinda sad. Took a long time to get that all together just to loose it really sucks big time
Some dudes wife probably divorced him and took the house and kids and everything else. Now all his stuff that he got to keep and had to put in storage while he tries to get his life together just got yanked.
When you find a gun with wear and tear , you cannot expect to get the same price as a new one. the thunder 380 was rusted a bit so i don't think you would get the price of that pre owned , which looked in much better condition ! That is not reasonable pricing to me tbh
@@spekops7527 i dont disagree with you, i mostly cared about the lever gun, the Garand, and the Springfield armory m14 clone. They all go for over a grand and folks like em. The guy said the single action revolver was a colt, thats another expensive find if actually a colt. That said ARs are a dime a dozen and so are most any other fudd guns like the Remington. The scopes and red dots weren’t anything special you’re right, but still its a decent collection. If the guy was a 2a supporter and hunter he had damn near all bases covered for what matters in my opinion.
@@FerretJohn That’s for sure. I used to be on site Manager of a Public Storage. If its a younger male, usually they ended up in jail to miss rent payments. Sometimes its dangerous for us when they’re released and come to find their stuff was sold off.
Can't tell you the number of youtube videos I've seen where someone finds a gun and proceeds to act like it's a cool toy. Thank you for showing gun safety is important for all guns, but particularly when it's a unknown gun.
Great find. As a collector myself, I was drooling every time a firearm was pulled out. I yelped like a little girl when you pulled out that mint condition M1 Garand. The previous owner of that storage unit is definitely not young judging by the firearms. He probably passed away or something tragic happened. Ain't no collector of this scale is going to simply let go of that storage unit.
I was thinking the same thing. I can’t imagine anyone that had that collection and a well organized storage unit would let it go because they couldn’t make the payment😢
For anyone wondering how finding a weapon works, it varies state to state. Here in VA, we run the serial numbers to see if they're stolen or used in a crime. If they're clean and legal, then theyre cool. This is straight from VA governments website. "With the exception of machine guns, firearms are not registered in Virginia."
@@burebista1491 maybe, being a gun guy and recognizing everything immediately I totally felt the loss. Like one of my favorite children.....the ones that don't "borrow " money. Hehe j/k. Kinda
4:55 Not sure if anyone mentioned what this was already, but that's a notched straight edge. You use it to make sure the neck is perfectly straight before you level your frets on your guitar. One side for 24-3/4" necks and one side for 25-1/2" necks. It is notched so you can place it directly on the fretboard and the notches will skip over the frets.
Feel sorry for the collector who had lovingly acquired all the stuff. I am sure this was worth much more to him than what was totted up on the board. Makes me sad to think that this is what might happen to all my beloved collections after I am gone.
This is exactly what happens to all of the things we love, though the majority of it gets throw to the dump. They would be going through. QE2's knicker draw as we speak
@@brad9529 indeed whatever we deem as valuable that our family doesn't want. Ends up the same place as a 💩 diaper 😁. It's intimidating how insignificant humans are in a galactic sense
IKR?!?! I can't imagine someone walking away from it, or not having a job to keep the rent paid. I'm wondering if maybe they passed and either his/her family, IF he/she had any left, didn't know about the unit or wanted nothing to do with it because they knew what was in it and either were scared of weapons or didn't agree with a person having them.
@@motog4-75 Yeah, I mean I don't have much knowledge about storage unit pricings etc. But couldn't the owner just have taken out a few guns or some ammo and sold it to pay the rent? Better to lose a gun or two than everything. Unless as you said he is in jail or something and no one else can pay for him
Just a side note, that Osprey bag is definitely more than $10. Best backpacks and bags in the game, they offer a lifetime warranty on everything and are known to have great customer service. If that's a backpack, you're looking at close to $200, if it's a duffle bag then it's closer to $100-150
Incredible! First off, respect on safely handling these weapons! What a haul! I was practically drooling watching you discover the contents of this amazing unit! Go big or go home! I know it doesn't always work out for you, but it paid off big time on this day! Congratulations on the best unit I've ever seen opened! And your pricing was spot on, not overvalued like on Storage Wars. Definately enjoyed this, subbed you, looking forward to more content.
i looked at the video length and saw that the first thing he laid his hands on was a firearm.. I'm like... we're gonna get an ND, aren't we boys, let's go!
@@tiamat_023 I'm surprised that someone let this kind of cache go! This guy made off like a bandit on this unit! If I were lucky enough to come across a find like this I'd probably piss down my leg from excitement
@@hunterphille1280 Piss myself? You would be pissing in excitement but I would be pissing in fear! (My country doesn’t not allow guns, they are illegal.)
Man, you probably got your money back on AMMO alone... That could easily be a whole life's worth of a gun and tool collection right there. I feel bad for the previous owner of those absolute gems. They loved that M1A, you can tell from all the mags and ammo they had for it, that is also one of my dream guns. They had a 45-70 Marlin and I just got a 45-70 Henry a couple weeks ago, I couldn't ever imagine having to put that away in a storage unit and then losing the unit, let alone the rest of those. Life(or death) must've happened to him, badly.
I agree with you halfway through the storage unit,, I told myself someone either died or is locked up in prison in order to let that unit go. Sadness to lose those vintage guns excellent condition 😢
@@squidwardo7074 Cool EFT vids. I quit playing last year after a guy named ChineseHackerMan69 head, eyes'd me through 10 walls from across the map in labs.
I would feel sorry if it wasn't in the state it was in. The buyer had it right. This was an arsenal ready to shoot... on a rental property. This guy was a nut and not a collector. Collectors follow gun ownership rules. They don't have loaded fire arms in a rental facility like a TV show. I love the antique weapons, so I am glad they are going to someone who will be more responsible.
These units have to abandoned for an extended period of time before they go for auction. Extremely low probability of someone retaliating lol. Also they don’t film live ….
He probably died and his family didn't pay the storage company fast enough. Kind of sad but at least they didn't go to some delusional anti gun person who would send them all to a the govt woodchipper.
At the end of the video when opening the ammo, the ammunition in the can that was in the green bags is what I’m presuming to be M1 Garand 30-06 bandoliers. I have purchased ammunition like this for my own garands many times before. The steel clip like thing that holds the 8 rounds are called “En Blocs”. That m1 Garand you purchased seems to be in very good shape. Congratulations on your score.
@@DripCS Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody leaves their M1 Garand just laying around. If it's real, its likely to have came back from the beaches...
Yeah except for that crusty one but I bet that was his daily carry from the rust on the tip only. Tells me he's an inside wasteband and is an every day kind of guy
@@DripCS i think his stuff was probably stored when he went into a nursing home. Then he passed and his family was either all dead or completely estranged.
Having been someone who lost almost everything in a storage unit it makes me sad to think that his bill to get back into the unit was probably considerably less than the amount worth inside of it
@@pupkin-qk8ql sometimes people can’t pay the monthly fee. they keep you for as long as they like, and charge late fees and every other fee they can pull out their chili shoot. and once you can’t pay, they take possession per contract signed, and sell your crap to make a profit. storage units are scams but very profitable as a business 😂
The ammo mags and clips alone have me jealous he probably bought it when it was reasonably priced . Guy was maybe thrown in jail or loner who passed away or died suddenly and never told anyone. My friends dad was very secretive when he passed and we cleaned out the basement for upgrades we found money taped to the underside of drawers a buffalo pistol hidden in the rafters an m16 w 5,000 rounds behind a wall 3 9mm pistols hidden under a sink on and on
@@Nibblerr this was 30 years ago it was from Vietnam and illegal to possess he also managed to get his hands on quite a few other things that had to be given to the authorities w the knowledge that the person who acquired them was dead
@@ab-thrilla6597 avoid NY & CA, they’re cesspools in the gun world (and basically everything else!) I just hope the idiot Californians don’t try to make my state as shitty as their state.
He probably was. I just saw this kind of content today. No cap. I am still trying to wrap my head around as to what's I'm seeing or as to why it's been sold. The how's and why's really. My initial thought goes to the unit's owner. He must've missed these.
That Heritage Arms brown "empty" box you pulled out actually has the 22 magnum cylinder still in it which goes to the Heritage Arms 22LR revolver you pulled out at the beginning of the video. That Heritage revolvers are able to swap the cylinder from 22LR to 22WMR. So that is another $35-$50.
Needless to say the guns & ammo are amazing, but I'd like to comment on all the tools that were in there. Wow, I would've kept all those tools. They were in very good if new condition. All of the content in that unit was practical and of good use. The Pyrex the camping chairs the kitchen stuff, all great stuff. Congratulations on a awesome unit!!
@@Beemer212 leave a ledger and notes on every item with value. and a sorry note. at the end at least she or your kids will get decent money and wont get scammed
Wow this is the first video I've watched of you guys in a long time, but what a find! Absolutely loved the video from start to finish, and am so happy for you! Factoring one of your auctions I won a stack of comics from you guys, which I still have today! Congratulations on the amazing profit, but definitely keep one or two of them pew-pews!! --Ethan from Portland OR
Thank you for showing proper gun safety. Even as excited you are you automatically treat each gun with respect. You have finally found the unit you dreamed of. Congratulations.
Congratulations! This is really a good unit. I think the OEM part in the tube, may be a tool magnet. Nice haul with the ammo. You are 100% correct with ammo prices. I would be horrified if I had this storage unit and forgot to pay the bill.
That really was a crazy unit! Thanks for not dragging it out, and doing it all in one longer video. My husband and I really enjoyed watching it together!
most likely died . but in America rather than inform a person's family being made aware of such unit they just auction it off. Its quite disgusting really
@@AlainnCorcaigh It's not bad business practice. Many times you aren't legally allowed to just hand family members access as you can get sued for doing so if the owner didn't want that. There is also no real way to know if someone died, all that will happen is payments stop and you can't contact them. Additionally you aren't even allowed to go through the stuff, which is why default auctions happen in the first place. If you do have assets, it is your own responsibility to properly document your belongings in your will otherwise stuff like this will happen.
The PREVIOUS owner of the storage unit is either in jail or has pasted AWAY or it's part of a ESTATE that is MISSED placed just speculating ! It's all according to GODS PLAN!!
This makes me happy. I love to see jebus finally find real treasure. I can't believe how nice that unit was. Also 6,5 jebus you are a giant. I love your content and your style. I've been watching you for a long time and we love content with your wife in it. Ya'll are awesome. She makes it more better. Keep hustling. It's inspiring.
The oily "clamp thing" in the box, is an X-Y axis guide for a drill press table or a metal milling machine. Often used to accurately mill out gun parts @ home. The black foam blocks are to put on the gunwales (sides) of a canoe so you can invert it on top of your vehicle for hauling to the lake.
I thought it kind of odd that you didn't know what I consider "common" tools. The air compressor, air tank and router just to name a few. But I'll admit my knowledge on firearms is relegated mainly to what I've experienced playing video games. 😅
Not to mention the respirator he called a "gas mask" that the person had "for ww3" 😂🤦🏻🤡🤷🏻 such a Sally when it came to the guns too. Sure did seem scared of em to an extent.... Was as if he was under the impression that the guns will just shoot randomly just by touching them 😂😂🤡🤡🤨🤨
"I don't know what this dumaflaji contraption thingy ma bob is, but I seen it in a video where they used it to hit a tiny metal spikey thing into two pieces of wood to hold them together" 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🔨
Yep if you buy storage units tools are a staple of your earnings many times. I'm no carpenter or framer or whatever but ihave basic knowledge and use some periodically. I saw quite a bit of random tool bits and such that were undervalued. Even the Tupperware....But it's no big deal, somebody else gets a little break.
Yeah about zero knowledge on everything that isn't a modern gun... I'm not a gun guy, I'm Dutch so no guns here, but I knew what those guns were before he did.... only the modern pistols i didn't know.. For someone who wants to make money from storage lockers, he sure needs a massive schooling in common knowledge about everything not modern-gun related.....
I have never seen you this excited Jebus. I can honestly say I am at the edge of my seat watching this unit. This is the kind of unit us auction buyers dream of (Maybe not as expensive though lol). Amazing finds!
That's a really great collection , I'd love to know the back story of how it all ended up in a storage locker. Perhaps someone's back up plan. Either way nice pick. Congrats
As a collector of WWII rifles, I was enjoying seeing this unpacking but sad to think someone lost all those fine weapons. The small flat rate box you cut open with the bowie was En block clips for the M1 Garand and a pack of cardboard sleeves that slide over the clips when loaded. The little metal strip parts in the magazine cases in the box are 10 round stripper clips you use to hold bullets. You found some .556 ones loaded later in the video. Wonder where the handguns went though, saw 45 ACP, 9mm, 22, and 45 Long Colt rounds on top of the holsters. One of those boxes you called "office supplies" almost looked like medical tools to me. Also you said the loaded En Blocks you found in the bandoleers were 308 and unless you had a rechambered M1 Garand they should be 30-06. One would almost think you found a preppers hide away armory but there were too many random items like power tools in there. Also, would have expected to find Freeze dried food in that case. Last leaving magazines stored long term loaded like that damages the springs so they may have feed issues due to weaker springs leading me to think it was not a backup armory. All in all happy for your find but feel really sad for the guy who lost them. Hopefully the give back stack included the bible because many people pass them down for generations and that one looked like it may have had history. Also keep the boxes for the guns, guns with the original boxes and all the paperwork tend to have a higher selling price, sometime much higher. Considering I own a few of those weapons myself and have no need of ammo I would have to say the thing that hit my want button the most was either the WWII 1942 Bayonet (have a Garand and a Springfield it would fit) or the large cleaning kit box. I would highly suggest you have an expert appraise them though for you. Keepers would be the M1 Garand, maybe the AR 15, and the 45-70. Also thought I saw a splash of orange on the tip of one of the pistols (rust??) Last check the wood chest for a false bottom (missing pistols?) it looked a bit shallow from what I could see.
This unit has been a dream unit for many I'm sure I'm so glad you and amber got this unit you deserve this unit you do so much good for your area for the kids which helps the families so much at Christmas I wish there were many more like you and Amber that care like you do it would really make the world a better place congratulations I can't wait to see what is next take care hope you all have a blessed night 💜
I mean this with the utmost respect. When it comes to your knowledge of tools and stuff okay you don't have any but great job on the storage unit and using your money to make more money. Also when it comes to entertainment you doing well.
The heritage firearms box you found at 26:55 has an extra cylinder for the Bettis 22 you found earlier, the cylinder changes the caliber from just 22lr and 22 short to 22wmr. It also gives it a bit of a bump in price if you didn't chuck it
As a gun knowledgeable person I was laughing a lot watching this. I knew the make as soon as I could see them, those are big game stopper rifles. Like the Rem 700 in 300 Weatherby Mag at 34:18 is one of THE fastest .30 cal rifles out there and can take out Elk on the other side of the valley. Any time I see a bolt action with 2 cross bolts in the stock I get excited, the 416 can take down any of the big animals in the world. Even those lever actions where big thumpers!
@Balian Goddard it is He said AK ammo, the AK (47, the most popular by far) shoots 7.62x39mm, or .30 Russian. The ammunition found was 7.62x51mm NATO, or, to put it mildly It was SCAR-H ammo
Please go to a gun store or a gun broker with these firearms so you can get your full value. These are really nice guns. Those .308 mags are worth a bit on their own too.
@@TreasureHuntingWithJebus the m1 garand you got is early so it would be even more expensive, and it’s very good condition so it may not of been loaded, that’s a 5000 dollar gun, i wouldn’t sell it though.
I don’t know how you could stay so calm finding all those guns , ammo and shooting supplies! I’m 70, and you would have to peel me off the ceiling!!! Great video!! Thanks for showing the safety aspects of proper gun handling as well! You seem to have a dream job!! You are willing to take the risk and you deserve the reward!! You have your cute “helper” too! Good luck with your quest!!
The M1A was the civilian, semi only version of the military's M-14, which was chambered for .308 Winchester. The M-14 was developed, at least at first, from the WW2-era M1 Garand, which fired .30-06, and they were manufactured in the same factories. That's why they look so much alike. In the end, they shared no common parts. Also, the ammo box you opened with the cloth bandoliers, those look like the en bloc clips for the Garand, which would make it .30-06 and not .308.
2 things - I've never seen so many guns come out of one unit AND I've never seen a locker buyer who consistently knows nothing about any type of tool. Tools are your kryptonite, Jebus. Great buy!
@@187blacmagic They make a living creating content while unloading storage units, not identifying the content. Everything they need to learn can be researched or they ask their followers for assistance. It has to be a burden to know everything about everything... oh wait, that's another channel or seven.
@@connie_be I understand the concept of their channel but basic knowledge of your field of business is very important. I am not saying they should know about everything out there then ask for help on something rare or different. To me when someone looks at something brand new in a bow and says "what is this? I don't know what this is.." or if someone that claims to be really into guns as he does and looks at one of the most iconic rifles in Amerian history the M1 Grand or a lever action rifle and doesn't know what it is can come off as he has no clue about anything . That's just my opinion though. Some people watch storage unit channels to learn about things and the history and value of things in them and if you are watching someone that seems to know less about it then you do it can turn you off from that page. I enjoy some of their content and the things they do like their travel vlogs , the garage sales and donating the profits that's why I subscribed.
It was so nice to meet Y'all in Orange! I'm so pumped to see this. Y'all are so genuine and really good people. Thank you for everything! Y'all deserve this!
@@crystaldesjardin4321 if you ever get a chance to go to their $1 yard sale or something, definitely do it. They are exactly the same off camera as they are on camera. It was so fun to meet them.
There might have been 2-2.5k worth of ammo in there as most of it was cheap target fmj's. The .270 and .30-06 were the only items of value. A couple middle of the road AR's, an AR10, and something like a Savage 99 would already be worth more than that ammo, and safes that size usually hold 10-14 guns depending on scopes, stock styles, etc. It would have had to have been full of cheap .22's and turkish shotguns for that ammo to be worth more than a safe full of long guns.
@@randr10 The production capacity is based on regulation that involves a lot more than just "ramping up the amount produced". Remember that each bullet has to be registered (not like a gun, but still registered). With the Covid over the few last years, there's also a lot of problem from manufacturers with HR. This becomes a vicious circle where the company has a reason to raise the price, raise the price and keep that price high until the reason renew and so on. (Kinda like how video game raised in price due to the cost of the disks and cartridges and yet, when turning to digital, never drop in price.) Another problem with production which is not just affecting this market is the raw material market. In the last 2 years, the metric ton of raw iron have ranged between $103 and $207 USD in value with only 1 month (nov 2021) where it dropped to $96. Between June 2014 and May 2020, the price was fluctuated between $50 and $80 with a few instances at $40 and a few slightly above $100. In other word, since Covid started the price of iron (used to produce steel and other metal used in ammunition) has 2x if not 5x.
@@creationsmaxo There's no ammunition registration in the US. I'd say maybe 15-20% of shooters hand-load their own ammunition; I've been doing it since I was 14 and there's no registration involved, lol. The closest things to that level of restriction are CA where one has to pass a background check for every ammo purchase (ie total insanity) and states like IL where one needs to hold a FOID card in order to purchase ammo. A few states/counties don't allow ammo to be purchased online and delivered to one's home, but the vast majority of the country does not have that problem.
This box is an ABSOLUTE gold mine. The previous owner of this box might have sadly passed away, and was a true survivalist and/or gun collector, or eventually competitive shooter seeing all the stuff from the cardboard. I hope for all these guns and ammo they will find a good owner who will take care of them (especially that M1garand I'm drooling on). However, I can't stop thinking about the fact he wasn't careful, to let many guns loaded....
I'm a firearms enthusiasts and I was so excited for them winning the bid on this and then I realized this was someone's passion that may no longer be alive. Kinda sad
22:37 The M1A is the civilian version of the M14, the US's main rifle between 1959-1964, and it was designed to look similar to its predecessor, the M1 Garand.
Damn!! So happy for you two as I know the content is always what you pray for! Glad your day finally came. I am not huge on guns but at the same time I am not against them either as long as they are in responsible hands. I grew up in upstate NY which is a HUGE hunting area. People come from all around to hunt there during deer season. Gun racks in the back windows of pickup trucks was a real thing where I grew up and loaded. Even in school parking lots. That was the 80's. How times have changed. Congrats to you both! Awesome unit!
That Dude spent years of his annual salary on guns and ammo preparing for a zombie apocalypse, wife got pissed off devorced him. He put his collection in storage when he moved out of the house he lost in the devorced and moved into a one bedroom apartment. Died a few laters lonely and broke without ever crossing the Mississippi River much less seeing the world....but the gvmt never took his guns, so he was happy.
That M1A you found that sold for $2200 was a scout squad with 18” barrel. The one you found had a 22” barrel so it’s not quite as rare. It could be a Standard, a Loaded model or a National Match. Likely the first two. About $1500 in today’s market either way, possibly more.
Rip for the RU-vidr. If the owner of the storage is alive, if not congratulations on winning the storage. I just imagine that the storage might be a secret stash or something.
Got me wanting to drop 6k on a storage locker, I'd love pretty much that whole collection. I don't know if I'd be willing to sell any of it besides maybe the Taurus and a couple others
@@maxscorig606 a lot of the collection was really nice. M1 garand, Springfield M1A, Henry 45-70 lever, etc. Really there were only a few guns in the collection that aren't really sought after, let alone in the condition they are in
I guess this looks more like somebody had moved house, into somewhere much smaller than where he'd been. Like maybe a nursing home after a long and fairly wealthy life. Big into big game hunting, liked his DCM too (that M-1 particularly, maybe that M-1A (in .308, and the M-1 takes .30-'06)), and the fast shooters, all ARs. The big bore lever action Marlins are big game stuff for North America. Pretty big into light DIY, with those power tools. Furniture? A little sheet metal? These were artifacts of somebody's last move...
What a unit! What a haul. Only wish I was there to see all those beautiful guns in person. I'm in Scotland so very rarely see decent guns. You deserve them guys 💯👌🏼👍🏼✌🏼🏴
Geeze man I am overwhelmed just watching this, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like opening all of this!! Congratulations it’s really opening my mind to other ways of making money
Man it pains to see someone lose this collection and then the buyer ends up being someone with very little firearm knowledge. Could've named most of those without looking all over for the model. Come on what gun enthusiast can't recognize the difference between an m1 garand and an m1a? Dude thinks that bushmaster was super nice 😆 doesn't know what model 1894 was, couldnt immediately recognize a mossberg 500, has never seen a remmington 700. Has never seen one of those cheap heritage rough riders. Etc man. Congrats on the find though but this video was painful to watch
@@Delalcon not really safe gun handling…he pointed several guns that ended up being loaded at the person behind the camera. Just because they are in a case or wrapped up doesn’t make it any less safe. He also didn’t properly check each chamber for bullets that may have been stuck in the chamber. Just cycling a firearms action isn’t good enough…especially one with an unknown history. Could have had a stuck live round and the owner was going to “take care” of it later. There were several instances where I cringed at his handling practices
I'm so happy for you both! Your a sweet and fun couple. I enjoy watching and I'm thankful you knew what to do with all those guns to be safe. Stay fun and sweet!
Finally you get to open a safe that wasn’t empty!!!! I’m so happy for y’all this was a great unit for you guys . Definitely the gun unit of your dreams for sure . Always good to see y’all get a win!
