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.

There is absolutely no way I'd have turned those in.

Edit: I found the article, the lad may have a payout coming to him.

It is now held in Brussels as authorities investigate its legal ownership. Belgian law mandates a five-year waiting period for claimants; afterward, the find could be divided between Kobe and the property owner if no owner comes forward and it's not criminal money.

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.

while digging

See, this is why it's very important for men, and women, to dig. Wherever you are, home, beach, park, just have a bit of a dig. It's fun and free!

If I found gold bars. No the fuck I didn’t

Gold bars? In Albany, GA a man found $30 on the floor at a local WalMart...police posted it to their social media asking to identify the man.

Yes, we can confirm the delivery of 45 gold bars at our police department.

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.

Why the fuck would you give them to authorities?

7^2 is a very pleasing number.

7*7=49

Must have buried a square of them (wink wink)

I definitely would’ve absconded with that shit

Hands down would have taken it all and never spoken to anyone about it but the people I sold them to.

That bulging thigh pocket looking kinda sus.

Saved one for himself in the case that no one claims it.

I counted, 49 bars in the picture. Hopefully that saves someone else the trouble.
