After we bought our first house we found out that one wall was hollow at one side. That was a full brick wall but a small 50x100 cm² patch sounded hollow. We opened it up and found absolutely nothing. Just a weird space where you could maybe display something or so. We couldn’t discern a use for it beyond that.
Hmm I’m sure that gold has a completely innocent history.
Might be as “innocent” as tax evasion
Hiding it from the Nazis would be my guess
So that’s where I left it.
with both the builders and the local charity that owns the site having a chance of claiming it.
Did i miss some kind of rule that states, that a builder can keep what they find on foreign property, aside from a finders reward?If no one comes forward, civil law states that hidden treasure on someone else’s property be divided between the finder and the property’s owner.
This only applies, though, if the stash is not found to be linked to criminal activity.
The key thing here is that the gold is not the property of the charity, but some previous owner. It wasn’t part of any purchase deed.
