[music playing]
[metal door sliding]
Woo!
There it is, baby.
It's been a long time since I've had a locker like this.
And let me tell you, it's been a long time coming.
Let's see what's in here.
[rattling]
All right.
Nice chair, $30, still clean.
So how many we got here?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
I used to be a big wheeler dealer of rods and reels.
So I knew to take the bait on this one.
We're going to have to get these checked out.
I can't wait to see what else is in this locker.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-- $5 apiece, another $30.
[scraping]
Well, that's a good one, Xbox 360.
There's the controllers for the Xbox.
With the video game system, the games, the phone,
that's easily $150 box. (SINGING) I'm into profit!
Here's a nice old Panasonic bike with some graphite
racing wheels.
I'm sure that's an easy $300 for that.
Here we got another specialized, real lightweight.
It's got the custom pedals and everything, easy $500.
Somebody was real serious about their bike riding.
Something is floating around in here.
Oh!
We got gold!
Has a good clasp on it.
That's a good sign.
Usually, the nicer the clasp, the better the piece.
10K.
You know what?
Without even weighing it, that's at least $400.
Yeah, baby.
When opportunity comes knocking, you better answer the door.
Baja Special-- there's a Daiwa.
I really know reels.
Definitely look good, put it down right there.
Look at this!
This is for the big fisherman--
good, good, good stuff, man.
Oh, yeah.
Got the Daiwa.
We've got a Newell.
All the old time fishermen love Newells.
And we've got another Daiwa here.
That's a nice box right there.
[laughter] Come on.
It's like the best fun you can have for a penny.
[coin rattling]
Here's another one.
I've never seen this one, either.
Feed the babies.
This locker proves a penny saved is a penny earned.
This right here looks like a little fresh water stick.
Got the Sealine.
It's an SHB.
That's nice.
That's a cork handle.
This is called a flip and stick.
Did I mention I know a lot about fishing rods?
Here's another sinker rod right here, Penn Sabre Stroker.
I'm not making these names up.
Got a couple of custom wraps here in the bag.
These are really nice.
There's two more right there and I've only begun.
I'm taking my banks to Jim [inaudible],, a vintage
toy restorer and collector.
I'm banking on these being worth a pretty penny.
I brought you some goodies.
Oh, what do you got?
At least, I hope they're goodies.
Well, let's see.
Oh, banks!
Wow!
This is something different.
These are nice, beautiful, period, mechanical banks.
This is the infamous Eagle and Eaglets.
And these were made, probably--
gosh, 1890s, 1900, right around that time.
It's all cast iron.
And you know, there's a lot of reproductions
of these out there.
That's my big worry. That's why I called.
Now you've got this one.
This is called Two Frogs.
That one's so much fun.
Yeah.
And it almost has a bronzy look.
This is a great, classic bank.
So you seem pretty excited.
But what's the final verdict?
Well, these, on close examination,
they both appear to me to be original banks
from the late 1800s.
This, Eagle and Eaglets, you should at least
get about $1,200 for this one.
[laughing] Unbelievable!
Yeah.
That is so awesome.
And the frogs are the better one?
I really think you got to get $1,500 out of that one.
[whistles] Really? Really?
Good haul.
I think you've totally made my day.
Yeah.
I got to go call my wife right now.
I'm at the Long Beach Marina to meet an old friend, the host
of "Inside Sport Fishing with Dan Hernandez"
and creator of Dan's Kids Youth Foundation.
Come on board, man.
All right.
Let's head out there.
Man, you ready?
Let's see the gems.
We got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11, 12, 13 reels in here.
This is great stuff.
These are pricey.
We're not even close to being done yet.
Are you serious? There's more?
Oh, man.
I've got all these rods back here.
If I remember right, this is a jig stick, isn't it?
Yes.
These rods were designed this way
so it didn't matter how tall a guy was, you can
adjust it anywhere you want.
And to just give you an example, grab
that tip there a little bit.
You'd lean back.
And you'd pull down a little bit.
And that's how you would fight the tuna.
Wow.
Dan is used to having this throbbing rob pulled on him.
We've known each other a long time.
So Dan, how much is all this worth?
The rods?
The rods, the reels, and everything?
Everything together--
Quick sale.
$12 grand.
Woo!
I'll take it, man.
I'm having--
I can get that all day long.
--a religious experience, as in holy mackerel!
What a catch!
Darrell Sheets was the big fish,
reeling in over $12,000 clams.
Little piggy Rene Nezhoda went wee, wee, wee all the way
to the bank with $5,000.
