Auction Hunters, Allen Haff and Ton Jones, travel America bidding on unclaimed storage units they think will contain the most hidden treasure - worth big cash - the better the history the higher the price.

An 1880s Palm-Squeezer pistol, a Western Electric telephone from the 19th century and an ATV are examined.

An 1897 Regina music box, an Addictor 190 mini boat and a Thomas Edison gramophone from 1905 are examined.

A Ms. Pac-Man arcade machine; a Harley-Davidson engine, 1958 frame and other motorcycle parts; and an Air Jordan vintage collection make Allen and Ton a good profit.

A 1978 pinball machine, a vintage Breathalyzer and an 1898 gambling device are featured.

A 1970s NASA countdown clock, a 1960s Delta relay rocket, and an all-terrain hovercraft are featured.

A 1984 Yamaha SS440 snowmobile; a baseball signed by Hank Aaron; a toy Robby the Robot from the 1950s.

A Victorian-era metal casket; glass fire grenades from the 1870s; a Chicago fire alarm call box from 1896.

Ton and Allen buy two units. One contains a collection of vintage cameras, the other is full of radio control equipment, including two large airplanes. Ton crashes one of planes that the potential buyer values at $600, but the other, a top-of-the-line jet, goes for $9000.

An 1890s treasure chest with secret compartments; a dynamite detonator box from the 1930s; Ton forges bricks of silver by smelting jewelry.

An 1897 Winchester pump-action shotgun and big-game taxidermy are among the valuable finds.

A 1940s–50s Schwinn tandem bicycle, assorted bicycle parts (one valued at $800), and a black powder bomb lance whaling gun from the 19th century are found in two units in Boston.

The guys find an 1890 humidor, a gun barrel for a World War II-era M3 Stuart tank and an antique safe in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ton and Allen head 225 miles north of Dallas to the largest storage auction in the country: 800 containers that day. Their main competitor is a lookalike of George W. Bush, whom Allen nicknames “W”. They buy 11 units, one of them a companion to one bought by W. A grandfather clock pendulum is traded to W in exchange for some firearms. They also find rare slot cars, antique crystal, and a large collection of firearms in immaculate condition. In this collection of firearms they find a high-end over/under Browning shotgun with a gold- plated trigger, an automatic .20 gauge. They talk to gun expert Jeanie Almond AKA “Mama Shotgun” about their find. This was the most profitable outing yet.

The guys go to Dallas, where they find a handcrafted cowboy saddle and a working military cruise missile jet engine, which they sell for $8,500.

In an industrial area of Los Angeles, the pair get a 1981 Bobcat 743 front loader, which they unload for $6,500, and a World War I trench mace.
