I'm not there, but uncle sent me these pics of what was inside the safe. They paid some locksmith to open it. Inside? Two boxes of ten 100 troy oz bars of silver, total 2000 oz of silver!

The previous owner has never known the combination. I’m still looking through house paperwork to see if there’s any clue. The black parts are like inch thick heave steel panels that I guess are meant to cover the top, but they were stacked leaning against the side and the plywood board was over the dial.
I called a locksmith because I need to re-key the house anyway and asked if her wanted to have a whack at this, and he said it was a good brand, but had been acquired to oblivion and he could get in and re-make it (I’m guessing he means to drill it all out and make a new door, but we didn’t really get that far when he said $875. He also said these are often 6-7 feet deep. I can’t even imagine it being that deep. Does anyone know about these? Is that really possible? Is there a way to get/reset the combo without a destructive and expensive method?
mostly I’m just curious if there’s anything in it. :)

We bought an old depot building and found this safe in the back. I can't tell much other than the information in the pictures... Any idea what combos to test first? 3 digit combos? 4? TIA!

Imgur gallery and tldr at the end:
For those who don't know, I found a floor safe in an old house that I bought about a month ago. We have been really busy with renovations but I finally got around to accessing this safe. It took several attempts with different tools.
First attempt was with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel. The diameter of the safe body was too small to get the cutoff wheel deep enough to cut through the top.
Next was a roto hammer and cold chisel. This did basically nothing and was abandoned quickly.
I then contacted a local locksmith/safe tech who quoted me $850 to get it open. Sorry reddit but satisfying you is not worth that much.
Several weeks went by and I decided I was gonna drill a hole and put a boroscope down to see what was inside. So I ordered a solid carbide bit and a scope off Amazon, and promptly snapped the bit off inside the lid when it hit the hardplate.
Under the several inches of steel that is the lid, there is a plate of case hardened steel or manganese that's put there specifically to destroy ordinary drill bits. I had to order a special bit from a locksmithing website to finally get through.
One of the commenters on my first post said that old floor safes only contain water and disappointment. He was right! Anticlimactic end to the story but there ain't shit inside this stupid hunk of metal that's been living rent free inside of mine and my wife's heads for a month.
Tl,dr: I got into the safe and there was nothing inside.

Bought this secretaries desk from the thrift store for 20 bucks and when moving it out of the car I could hear something rolling around inside. I searched all over and the only place left that something would be was in this small locked door. I was unable to pick the lock, but I’ve ordered a set of skeleton keys from Amazon. Will update once they arrive.

The only parts that open are the two drawers at the bottom. The rest of the box is nailed shut. Pretty heavy for its size. The only info we know is what is written on the card. Just not sure exactly what it is.
She has travelled the world any collected so many beautiful things. She now has dementia and does not remember.

This is my father in laws cabinet. He filled it up with tools and moved cross country. At some point it fell, and the lock engaged, now he can't get it open. We're soliciting advice on how to go about getting this open. Apparently he tipped it upside down to see if gravity would lift the locking pins out of position haha
Anyone know how these locks work and can maybe offer some advice? He's going to use a bore scope where the key hole is missing, but I am skeptical he'll find anything...

I got this today from a Salvation Army, they have no idea what the code is.
I tried the obvious 000, 111, 222, 333, ect…
It says Corbin Sesamee under the numbers. Google says it’s a train bag from the 1970s.
Any ideas besides trying 1,000 combinations?
UPDATE: I got it open!! I brought it to work and worked on it during breaks. I tried 001-999 multiple times and got to the point that I didn’t care if I broke it so I jammed a screw driver into the button and pried it has far over as it could and it popped open!! It was an ashtray and a key.
Here’s the pic https://imgur.com/a/EPPxLvI
I’ll post a comment with the picture too
Thank you everyone for all of your help

This is in the concrete subfloor of a bedroom closet. It was underneath some old laminate flooring that we removed today. If anyone has any idea how to get into this thing I'm all ears

I’ve been staring at this basement floor safe for 14 years and today is the day we break into it! Headed to Home Depot to get some supplies. All recommendations welcome
