The hunters' venue in this episode is a notable spot in the south: the famous Hope Fair Park. Being the birthplace of former President Bill Clinton, it's not just any ordinary town but a historical landmark.

As the auction starts, bidders gather around as the auctioneer starts revealing the contents inside the auctioned lockers. Each locker is assumed to have the potential to make a substantial profit, but there's no certainty- making the bidding process more exhilarating.

As the auction continues, unexpected twists and turns bring about even more drama. From abandoned snake tanks to unanticipated sports equipment, the hunters go all-in to find a treasure even amidst the mundane possessions.

One of the most striking moments of this episode is when the hunters dive into a locker filled with Mardi Gras materials.
