The "Big Weapons" storage: a relic from a paranoid bygone era

As previously mentioned, we are staying this year in a former Y2K compound. According to the current owner, a doctor from Florida purchased the house and property and built multiple cabins around the older home in the middle of the property. He effectively left his practice in Florida and moved here. As you likely know, nothing happened on Y2K. He sold the place and returned to his life in Florida, leaving all of the food and supplies behind. Those supplies were all auctioned off.

What he did not leave behind was his guns. He had some small handguns (we assume) but also apparently some larger guns and ammunition. He kept these under a cutout in the floor of the gazebo. It is a metal box, lockable from both sides, and is approximately 6ft by 8 ft and roughly 4 feet tall. While I did not go down inside others did and verified that it would be a perfect place for guns. 

Here's where all of the big guns were kept.
