Guy finds gold in old Iraqi tank

[BushMasterBoy]

I thought this was a cool story. Guy buys tank on ebay to restore. Inside the fuel tank are bars of gold. Million dollars worth. Video made by the guys that found it.

I bet the Iraqis got the idea from Kelly's Heroes.

This guy should have kept his mouth shut of about this!

[rondog]

Bet yer ass if I found a buncha gold, I sure as hell wouldn't blab about to the press and authorities!

[GilpinGuy]

No doubt this guy should have kept his mouth shut. The feds will surely find a way to tax the ever loving shit out of it.

If the government comes looking he can always say it was a hoax just for dramatic TV purposes.

Problem is it'd be hard to move that much gold in bars that large without drawing notice.

They'll seize it, not even tax it. They'll claim its stolen and belongs to the Iraqi people.

True. Would be worth investing in some minting equipment and dole out the gold over time.

Find 10 million, turn-in 1 million.
Retire to Belize.

Not clear on when they found the gold, but...

Based off of what the video and the weight they got for it on the bathroom scale (not the most accurate of scales), and todays gold price of 1,290.6/ounce, I estimate the 5 bars of gold are worth more than $1.4M.

I wonder if they got to keep it.
