Also, is it just me or did the conversation not feel natural like they had already pulled a piece out, decided they were going to film it all "for the first time" so they could prove that's all there was?

Depends on what the law says where you live. If keeping it without telling anyone was punishable by the law, then what's the point of having at home something you can't effectively sell, or sell with difficulties = loosing money?

I mean, I don't get hard watching and touching gold, do you? Thinking

Selling gold in the UK is incredibly easy.

You could just keep a bar and take a chunk off it now and then to sell when you needed some cash

No I've never owned a single item of jewelry but I'd be damned if I would risk giving away 2 million quid never to be seen again - legal or not I'd find a wayto sell it.

That is the thing, you wouldn't have 2 million pounds, you would have something worth 2 million pounds, that you would need to sell to get to the actual money.

But you would bving 2 million quids worth of gold away.....anyway who cares if you couldn't get face value. 25p in the pound would do me well enough.

Finders keepers all the way. Like the story someone on here posted about a builder finding a load of money, which no one claimed yet he got nothing.

It's better than not having something worth £2 million. Laughing

I think I would be keeping a bar and chipping chunks off it now and again Laughing

Could even invest in a smelter (that right?) to melt an oz. here n there down in to something else, quite easily. I have seen videos on YouTube before of people who extract gold from electronics and they smelt it in to small lumps or shapes pretty easily at home.

I'm sure there's enough dodgy places to get rid of it.

Depends how long you hold on to it too. I bought a big thick gold bracelet when I was 21 and had it for about 7 years before I decided to get rid of it as it was too chavy (it was a 3oz. curb bracelet) and tripled my money on it Laughing
