The people behind “Storage Wars” just stumbled upon their most incredible discovery yet — a real-life pirates’ chest that’s at least 200 years old … containing half a mil in gold doubloons

Dan and Laura Dotson came across the stash inside a foreclosed storage locker at an auction in Contra Costa County, CA — which they sold off to one lucky bastard for just over a grand.

The Dotsons discovered the pirates booty after auctioning off the locker — a small treasure an expert described as “Pieces of Eight Spanish Gold,” dating anywhere between the 16th and 19th century.

According to one source, the coin box was so heavy … it took 3 people to move it out of storage.

We’re told an appraisal expert valued the collection at around $500,000. Yo ho ho!
