Some are fantastic finds – like the man who discovered one item worth a whopping $40,000 in a storage unit.

Others not so much, just ask the family who were left horrified after finding bodies stuffed in cases at a storage unit they won at auction.

Some of the more amazing discoveries have come on shows like Storage Wars, with some folks amazed at what they have discovered.

But perhaps the most amazing discovery ever saw a man turning a $480 investment into an incredible and life-changing $7.5 million.

Dan Dotson became somewhat famous amongst those who watch the show, as he ended up being the guy who sold the seemingly innocuous lot.

In fact, it turned out to be a hidden treasure trove, but the lucky owner didn’t manage to hold onto the vast majority of the money.

Dotson explained that a woman came up to him and told him that her husband had bought a unit from him, which contained a safe of unknown contents.

The woman said they’d hired experts to crack open the safe and when they finally did manage to get it open, they discovered that the safe had contained $7.5 million in cash.

“Then they got a phone call, mysteriously, from an attorney representing the folks that lost the money and the goods inside the unit.” he said.

“They offered $600,000, then they doubled it to $1.2 million and they gave them $1.2 million in exchange, I guess they gave them back $6.3 million.”

“The question is would you give it back, or would you keep it and would you run for the hills, or would you look over your shoulder. What would you do?”

Whichever way you slice it, making $1.2 million off a storage unit you bought for almost $500 is one hell of a good day’s business.

Sadly for Storage Wars fans, Looper reported that this dramatic event occurred on a non-filming day, so the camera weren’t around to capture the incredible moment.

Still, there have been plenty of mega-money hauls viewers have been able to enjoy thanks to the show, including a lot which went for $2,000 and contained half a million dollars in gold coins.
