When he paid $500 for a storage unit he never expected to find this inside

[post_page_title]Never made it to air[/post_page_title]
What diehard Storage Wars fans might not know is that Sheets’ $300,000 jackpot wasn’t the biggest in the show’s history – it was just the biggest to make it to air. In 2011, a buyer used American Auctioneers to bid $1,000 on a storage unit.

That unit ended up containing golden Spanish pieces of eight coins from the 16th and 19th centuries. It was worth just over half a million dollars, but the episode was never aired because the buyer wanted to remain anonymous. We can see why!
