I can’t believe someone buried 49 gold bars over here!
Where did they even get 43 gold bars in the first place?
Oh well, I better go turn these 38 gold bars in to the police.49 gold bars?!? 39 gold bars is a crazy thing to find digging. I wonder how much you get taxed when you find 29 gold bars. Would you report 19 gold bars? If I found 9 gold bars I think at most I’d be able to part with 1 of the 2 gold bars that I found.
This is one of those things where it’s probably more hassle than it’s worth to keep them. Like, you can’t really do much with the gold on its own, you’d have to sell it, and you can’t exactly just take it to a pawn shop.
Like, you’d have to go to some big time gold dealer and then they’d be like “yah, cool, where the fuck did you get this? Do you have a bill of purchase? Is there a mark on here from who ever minted it? I’m going to have to tell the authorities about this, don’t want to be liable if it turns out you stole this or obtained it illegally”
Sure you could try and find a less than reputable buyer who won’t ask questions, but now you’re risking getting caught up in some organized crime nonsense assuming you can even find one without pre-existing contacts.
Better just to hand it over and be done with the mess. Hope there is some sort of official reward for doing it. Maybe get some money through doing interviews about it.
Melt it and make a bunch of gold rings. Pawn those a few at a time.
Would have to go to thousands of pawnshops to sell off that many rings, and then just hope none of them talk to each other. Or no one looks in to the influx of suspiciously similar gold rings on the second hand market. Then find a plausible excuse for where all the money in your account came from when people start asking questions about it.
Just, a huge legal risk over all.
You’re assuming pawn shops are way more scrupulous than they actually are.
Thats what happened to the 50th bar
As a bonus, bind the races of Middle Earth to your will.
Darn it, I hate when the mortal races succumb to temptation!
Those look like at least 10oz bars, so 49x60,000 each is almost 3 million dollars.
Even if lawyers billed half a million, and you got to keep 1/3rd of it, you would still be up a half million.
The best lawer in the world can’t fabricate a legitimate chain of ownership or falsify an authentic minting stamp.
You sure? Gotta call Saul on this
Yes, we can confirm the delivery of 45 gold bars at our police department.
Reddit joke second line!
7*7=49
Must have buried a square of them (wink wink)
Why the fuck would you give them to authorities?
Maybe it’s illegal, it’s vastly different from country to country but last time I checked finding treasure on your own property does not mean you own it 100%. Which i think is crazy but yea.
Things are only illegal if you get caught.
What would you have done? 🙂
Melt it into nuggets and sell it piece meal. An ounce of gold is worth $4k
Saved one for himself in the case that no one claims it.
That bulging thigh pocket looking kinda sus.
I’m just happy to see you
I definitely would’ve absconded with that shit
No sir I did not find anything.
Hands down would have taken it all and never spoken to anyone about it but the people I sold them to.
In flemish we respond with: “Mor aleiz joengk, da doede tochni?! Gatda moete bijaauwe hé! Onnoezeleir.” And I think that’s beautiful.
sent this to my friend who’s learning dutch living in the Flemish part of Belgium and he said “I know 0 of these words” lol
what does it say?
That’s because it’s heavy, heavy dialect.
I may have buried them back up and then taken a shit at the location. Then, under the cover of night, returned to retrieve.
Maybe he found 100, who knows?
what happened to the one in the top left lol
first one found, hit with shovel
or bit by a very big person trying to see if it was real gold
