Incredible they found 8m in gold. That is so much money. I mean what would you do with 6m? Yeah sure a Yacht sounds nice but don't you think you should invest the whole 4m to avoid wasting it?, in any case, not everyone reports randomly found 2m good bars.
So the dude who posted these same photos on Reddit as the "finder" was full of shit and/or a bot, quelle surprise.
Most of the time Reddit is full bots. Like the comments under a post "once my friend....", just to farm karma.
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.
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.
Better luck next house
Well, we did find a bunch of old coins from the previous owner's travels in our current house. Plus a treasure chest filled with old empty potato sacks.
Score!
Those are some honest builders. I would filled my car up with bars before revealing
Need to wait 5 years for getting half the loot, then probably give up almost another half in taxes and fees when converting that in fiat
Well… who said this is everything they found?
Hmm I’m sure that gold has a completely innocent history.
He wanted to gold plate his audio cables and never got around to doing it.
Might be as "innocent" as tax evasion
