WEIGHING GOLD WE FOUND plus we find a SAFE in the locker bought at the abandoned storage auction
This is the 22nd episode in a series of what I'm calling the "3rd Time" lockers because this is the third time that these particular units had come up for auction. On the earlier 2 auctions, the owner came to the auction and paid the amount due, so the sale was cancelled. Why? We had to find out.
These lockers have produced epic finds, from vintage toys to cash money to gold jewelry. Every day brings new surprises, and this one is no different. We're going to take a closer look at all the gold we found in the last episode, plus an official weigh-in.
But wait... there's more! We find something else, and in this episode, and it's "safe" to assume that it's exciting.
What did we find? How much did the gold weigh? You'll have to stay tuned and find out. Come along with us for another storage locker adventure, and get a taste of what makes us Locker Nuts.

Max Factor is an old company. Founded in 1909. So that lipstick holder may be worth checking out.

Cool ,you saw them too. 😄
22:05 - native American Thunderbird. More than likely silver with the blue stones being turquoise ans the red stones being corol.
You should check those Kodiak camera canister. Could be gold in them!
The cold cream jars you threw out with out checking,my grandma used to hide her jewelry in them, Always check. The keys 🔑 you need to keep until done with the unit they have use if you find something that needs to be unlocked.

You should keep the keys! May go to something you find later! :)
If you decide to sell, sell as used, please get the diamond weight and diamond clarity evaluated faster way to sell if you have a written evaluation to go with it. Depending on the size of the center stone you could get $3,000 alone for that but remember there is a longer sale time, also that stone is a Marquise cut, you could also replace the missing gem for not much on the ss ring and possibly get as much as $250.00 to 500.00, again depending on the grading type of stone, sterling silver is a favorite for certain gem stones. For precious gems such as Ruby, Blue Sapphires and Emeralds will generally be in gold. Still to be said get the evals done with written descriptions and weights, sell below the estimated value and all should go very well for you. Great locker. FYI I use to sell jewelry for a living. Just Pm if questions but am sure you have a jeweler that you work with. Best of luck, enjoy your videos.
Absolutely love your high speed time lapses! We don't need to see everything but in a fast way we still get to see everything...perfect!
18:55 it's a "marquise " and the little long are " baguette" cut 😊 greetings from Portugal

@@KayAndrews1950 I bet it is beautiful Kay. I have just always loved the baguette cut on a band or with other round stones.
Wow Jack what a good video. The jewelry was absolutely beautiful. My favorite pieces are the gold bracelets, and the wedding band set. I hoped this locker was going to give to the very last box and I think it might, I really hope so for your sake. I don't think there's much more I can say that I haven't already said. Good videoing, love the way you explain things, and a great video. I can't wait to see what is in the safe. I'm dying already. Well I guess that's it for now. I can't wait for the next video to come out. I Love the locker nuts Channel. Tell Jenna I said hi and give her a hug for me please. Hug the girls and scratch the fur babies also please. I'm a member of your storage auction gang, a forever fan, and friend. Thank you for my smile today.👨👩👧👧🐕🐱❤❤💕😎👍👏👊
The diamond cut is marquis it looks like the solitaire is about a half k not sure how big the little diamonds the long shape is baggets if the pearls are real they would be gritty to your teeth it all looks real she had some beautiful jewelry you may want to get a jewelry person to look at the solitaire with the loop that’s the wedding ring and one bracelet with the largest diamonds thank you all for sharing 🙋♀️💕🤗
Nice gold bracelets and other pieces. Glad you are selling them as is, to pretty to scrape. ♥️
Always good to see your video, you always keep it real. Thanks
To all subscribers and Jack of the locker nuts Channel: Thank you thank you Jack I love my 2 bracelets that were 10k gold. They are so beautiful the camera does not even come close to doing then Justice. Thank you for giving me a good price and my gift. It was such a great experience dealing with you to buy these bracelets. Fantastic customer service and excellent speed in mailing them to me. I would 100% buy from you again Direct and I can guarantee you that I will buy from you again probably multiple times. I always see things that I like. Thank you Jack for an all-around excellent experience in purchasing my two bracelets I love them. I love the locker nut Channel. And guys you should consider buying what you want from Jack because it's a good experience all around. Thank you again.

I love the little things like this in drawers! Some of those old digital watches can we worth some good change. I like this locker. Great buy
The locker that keeps on giving, loving it.
That's an awfully pretty silver ring. It might be worth it to see if a jeweler could replace the missing stone and you could then resell it.
You should save all the keys. Some people collect keys and you could sell them in a box lot.
Wow the locker that keeps giving! Awesome finds all that gold and diamonds! Looking forward to the next episode
I have entirely enjoyed watching all the videos on these two lockers!! You truly were blessed by winning them both! I'm excited to see what's in the safe but sad because it'll mean you finished with both lockers 😞 Stay blessed Jack & family!!
I'm rewatching this series because your my favorite KZread storage shopper and this locker is NUTS! 😊💲💖
Yay I love this series so much guys
Can see why the old owner wanted to keep the units. All the money and gold and all the old toys. Have an awesome day Locker Nuts. Can't wait to see what you find next
*gasp* That storage unit win will go down as one of the greatest series!! And how fitting that you find one more safe to open for the finale!!! And I so love the fast forward chipmunk sounding parts too!!! Those tennis bracelets are gorgeous and happy you are selling them whole!! Another great video as always!! Best wishes from Michigan!!
Can't wait for the safe!!!
Jack u r a big teaser. Awesome find guys. I hope it works out with the gold that u want to help u and your family!
That Locker just keeps on giving. Really awesome finds #LockerNuts
Nice score Jack. My offer still stands. God bless
Lmbo about time jack you have had me watering at my mouth waiting and waiting for this thanks
Re pearls: high-quality pearls will be knotted on silk. The reasoning is that if the necklace breaks, you only lose one pearl, at most--and also it keeps the pearls from rubbing against each other and damaging themselves . The tooth test is pretty good once you know the difference in feel between a real pearl and a glass one. If it "tinks" or glides across the surface of your tooth, it's probably not a real pearl. Real pearls will have a bit of drag, almost like fine sandpaper.
👍👍👍 Great video again 👍👍👍 😍😍😍 Love the jewellery 😍😍😍
Omgosh more! Wow it’s the gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈 some of those pieces are to pretty for scrap. Great Job Jack ! You and your family deserve it. 🙏🏻God Bless
Great haul!! I am very happy for y’all!
Jack, Im sure you know its best not to keep searching thru lockers when you are tired or you may start pitching items you may regret later, Just like driving a car, When tired stop driving, take a break, remember that line from that famous movie...Tomorrow is Another Day! (it looks like a few more days to get done with this one too) Cant wait for the next finds!
Remember all of the empty jewelry boxes you found? They're probably for all of the loose pieces you found and would add to the value when you sell.
Hi from Nova Scotia Canada, i love your videos and i love you and your family. Beautiful family.
Awesome...so glad for you. Can't wait for the safe!🤗🤗🤗
The triple strand pearls are costume. No need to test; they're set with rhinestones! If you rub them on your teeth and they're smooth, they're costume. Knotted pearls aren't always real, or even almost always real. Decent costume ones are knotted too.
Wow that is so awesome you did really great with that unit god bless you and your family always and keep them videos coming
Always start a key box to save all found keys until you have checked the whole locker.

And there are also crafters that buy old keys for all kinds of art.
The wedding ring set are begets (rectangular) and Marquee (center) diamonds. Gorgeous. Beautiful jewelry.
I would love to know the entire value of both lockers at the end if that is something you would be willing to share with your viewers
The large ring at about 22:03 looks like smoky topaz. Not as valuable as diamonds or rubies, but still is a gemstone.
Beautiful Marquis with baguettes......
Thunder Bird, with the turquoise stones..
Jack I have an idea can’t you get everything out of your unit, bring it home and film what you find? Stay safe and b blessed ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇱
If the pearls feel gritty, they're real. They knot the fakes sometimes. Congrats cool find!
Pearls are usually knotted, in case the string breaks so you don't lose them all.
real pearls are usually individually tied on a strand. Once you see that, you do the tooth test (it will feel rough) This is the locker that keeps on giving!!! Amazing!
Those are a baguette cut diamond...my favorite. Beautiful bracelets & diamonds
19:13 Marquis , Baggett , brilliant... beautiful.
Great jewelry. Love the video . Besafe and 💚 to the family # ReStoragetheLove
Very cool
Amazing jewelry finds, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't make us wait on the safe. Tyfs.
Man,you crack me up ! Good finds again!
these two lockers just keep gving and giving! I am so Happy for you Lockernuts : )
Oh my, you found one of the first digital watches made at 3:14 in your video. I haven't seen one in forever. It takes two batteries to run it.

The case might even be gold, very expensive for the time. $400 plus. For the '70...yeah.
Awsome find but wow a tease on the safe love it
Beautiful wedding ring. Nice finds
The silver ring that is missing the stone could still bring in way more than scrape price. A good jewelry company can always find a stone to replace the missing one. The stones in that ring looked like saphire to me with my view on the phone.
You are driving me nuts with these unopened safes..gosh. Super Will power
That blue stone is called a moonstone, they reflect the light
Ohhh I am so happy for you and your family, that wedding set is beautiful. God is smiling down on you for a reason he knows that you have been a strong believer in him as well as your wife and children. I like to joke a round but I am a strong believer so God Bless. Old lady from Sask. Canada
The 3 strand pearl necklace could be worth a lot of money. The vintage jewelry is really expensive. When you look At your gold necklaces you will notice that by the clasp there is an extra "odd" shaped loop. It's usually a good indicator of gold. Are you selling the jewelry on eBay?
The wedding band set at 19;10 is just like mine. $3000 from Zales Jewelers!
Love that Wedding Ring!!!! Soo Beautiful!)
lager nuts that's some nice jewelry beautiful diamonds on those tennis bracelets that ring is got to be at least a 5 to 7 carat diamond ring I know because I bought one for my wife a very long time ago Pearl's you grind on your teeth up and down like your biting on it and if it's moved that's plastic is not real but them old ones look like they're real love watching your channel can't wait to see some more you going to become rich before you know it can't wait to see that safe love you man God bless you and your family peace out all the way from Spain
Great video Jack ,👍👍👍💚❤️💙🤗
Wow nice hit jack
Another GREAT video Jack ie: Locker Nuts. Another great jewelry score, You never cease to amaze me Jack, Thank-you for that and GOD bless you and your family too. Keep being lucky jack ie: Locker Nuts.
Maybe you should hold on to keys you find and see if they fit into a safe ✌🏼
A lil toothpaste ( not gel) with brush scrub will clean jewelry quite nicely. 💚✌
When you buy lockers, one of the few high-value items you are likely to come across that no one who is not in the jewelry business knows much about is fine jewelry (gold, silver, platinum, gemstones). The logical first step is to learn to read marks and find a wholesaler to sell to, which you've done. As you gain knowledge, you figure out that the dollar difference between selling to a wholesaler and selling to an end user (either a refiner or a retailer) is well worth the cost of becoming better educated. You don't need to become a gemologist - just gain enough knowledge to recognize and set fair prices and identify BS. Here's my suggestion, based on lessons learned in Seattle. Resources in the LA area are no doubt much greater. Go to one or two good antique shows or very high end flea markets that have a lot of fine jewelry. Watch to see which jewelry dealers are making a lot of sales of the kind of jewelry you are likely to find (normal jewelry, not museum quality pieces) and, when they're not busy ask how they learned what they know about fine jewelry. When you find someone who seems to know what he or she is doing and seems willing to talk, see if that person would be willing to work with you for a few hours improving your knowledge. The best enticement would be to offer to take them a box of recent finds and give them first pick at a fair price in exchange for their going through their thought process as they go through what you have. It only takes a little of this kind of education to build a lot of skill.
That stone is a marquis shaped diamond on the ring.
Yes that is old Max Factor lipstick I used to see my mother use it
Thanks for sharing!
Brown stone in ring is smoky topaz I think.
Nice find
You done good, Jack!!👍👍👍❤
I don't want to age myself.... However, I believe MaxFactor is lipstick.. Those were cool to see.
Beautiful wedding band . Thunder bird ring turquoise . The other ring look like smoky quartz .
I watched all the way to the end and you are such a tease I'm waiting all the way in Spain and I'll see this in the morning 11:10 in the night here and I get up at 5 in the morning by 6 I'm picking up horseshit God bless you and have a good night
Enjoying binge watching your videos on a cold Melbourne afternoon 👍 🦘🐨🦘🐨
Makes me wonder what could possibly be in the safe. With Jewelry everywhere. What more valuable in that safe, coin collection? Wait on pins and needles for the next video.
wow!
Some of those Max Factor lip stick cases are collectors items! The old brass ones mostly. With art deco design. The brass tubes too. EBay auction. Oh and don't clean them out. The old lip stick inside adds to the authenticity.
22:05 Southwest , probably Zuni, sterling with turquoise, coral & jet inlay. $ 25-50 depending on the market.
The ring looks like a Phoenix
Gems are sometimes worth more then set.. Always take them out when saling silver or gold.. Sandy from Oregon
10:34 I laughed entirely too much when you read "It's Literacy" wrong :-D
I have started to wonder about the stashing of valuables. Was there a divorce in the works? One safe plus stashing, ok. Three with random stashing; wierdness. BTW, looked like you dropped a ring from the empty ring box drawer. 😉
Jack - You hear Jeremy all the time, SAFEty 1st. We want to see the safe contents, lol! I will have to wait for the grand finale! Perhaps I will get an invite? I'll bring dessert, lol! That is a Marquis cut diamond. Princess cut shows more of a square. The faux pearls look nice (if they are gritty - they are real). If jewelry is complete, don't sell it as scrap. Those diamond bracelets will sell for a lot more. Those are nice! Congrats on the finds. I know everyone is going to comment save all the keys you find as they can be useful. Your choice. May make a safe sellable if reusable. Also, believe it or not, people buy key collections on Ebay (who would of thunk it!). Keep em coming and nice video!

Truth is, I got tired of picking up loose keys in this locker. There were several hundred. Two key rings in the last few days alone had 50-75 keys each. I have a big box that I’ve kept all the keys I ever find but lately it’s just been too much. So many comments about me tossing some. I might toss future ones just to chuckle at the comments frenzy it stirs up. The safe is unlocked anyway which is unfortunate because I like cracking them. More fun that way. Thanks Greg!

Hi! The pearls do not look real to me, even on video. [DO have someone check them for you.] If the small white stones are diamonds, they REALLY need cleaning. [Clean them anyway, the better to gauge their authenticity.] The principal diamond in the ring is a costly cut -- marquise cut. Because it wastes a lot of raw stone. Michelle Mack [earlier comment] is correct to suggest finding a replacement stone for the silver ring. The stones could be a rare color tourmaline [but they could be glass]. [If the "stones" are glass, having small marquise-cut-clear CZs set in the center and setting one of the other "stones" in the empty setting could make the ring look very nice and still be saleable.]

That’s a great idea regarding a clear stone in the middle. Thanks for all the tips!
Real pearls are usually knotted between each pearl so that is the strand breaks you don't lose the entire strand and they don't rub against each other as they are soft. They need to be periodically reknotted. Reals pearls need to be next to a person's skin to keep them moisturized.
