what you do in a case like this is first go on amazon and buy a gold-melting kit, and melt the whole lot into one ounce pieces. then sell a couple at a time at different shops that buy gold, with the story that you were cleaning out the junk left behind by a favorite uncle and you found them in an old coffee can on the back of a shelf of junk in the old guy’s workshop ... if that don’t work in the UK, then fly to the USA and travel around for a few days to make the sales, perhaps enlisting the help of a native friend if necessary ...

“Two big problems with that. Gold is used, recycled, etc. And even if you could identify what exact mine it came from, good luck proving that mine ONLY sold to Kuwait.”

when you melt it down into one ounce bars to be sold a couple at a time to many different retail gold-buying shops, you could always add a tiny bit of silver and copper to change the “fingerprint” if one was REALLY paranoid ...

Why do people call the “authorities” when they find cool, valuable stuff? That would NOT be my first inclination.

Funny. I’m reading posts like this and thinking “That’s clever”. Now all I need to do is find a bunch of gold bars.

In England if they find something old (metal detectorists) and it is museum quality the government has to give them the appraised value. If the government doesn’t want it they can keep it. It is to encourage the detectorists.

I guess this doesn’t fall under the same law. Oops.

what you do in a case like this is first go on amazon and buy a gold-melting kit

That leaves an electronic trail.

First, go to a public library and try to find a paper book on gold smelting, to learn the technique. If you can't find it there, go to a book store and buy the book for cash.

Then try to buy the tools you need, for cash. Preferably piece by piece, in different stores.

That still leave the problem of where to melt the gold, at least for those of us who live in multi-unit buildings, with no private garage or basement.

“ It’s believed the bullion was looted by plundering Iraqi soldiers during the 1990 invasion of Kuwait but forgotten about inside the 36.7-ton tank”.

Somebody’s dead more likely.

Why on earth do any of these people let people know what they’ve found? I’d keep my mouth shut and sell it off in different places. Just pocket the cash - nobody else needs to know.
