    As soon as I read this, it reminded me of the thread the other day, about what you would do if you found someone else's stash....

    Perhaps the person who started that thread knows more than they were admitting..... :p

    Probably belongs to a group of investors who feared the end of the world was imminent and so buried it waiting for that day to come, most likely in response to a bad economy or inflation at the time.
    hehe

    What does actually happen in these sorts of situations?

    Who gets to keep the coins?

    I like this bit:

    [​IMG]



    "Hmmm. Didn't you guys dig up 400 gold sovereigns?"
    "Ahhh, no. Who told you that? Look, there's only 300. Yep, that's right, only 300..."

    "So, what's in your pockets?"
    "Nothing. Just loose change. Had a big win on the pokies..." :lol:

    To me the whole story sounds like "pub rumours" that is now being investigated by police for as an unreported "treasure trove" that automatically belongs to the federal government.

    So someone said "yeah, Bob found a pile of gold sovereigns, they were all like from 1800 or something, must have been three or four hundred of them", word gets around, cops find out, becomes a story. Bob eventually gets found and charged with theft by finding.

    Earths history is not at all what we have been taught.


    Mummified Egyptian baboons in Ireland, Egyptian hieroglyphs in Australia, lies, murder, purging countless books, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

    I have actually seen those hieroglyphs. They are on 2 rock faces that face each other and make a narrow pass. It is unclear if it is a more modern day hoax or not.

    I am convinced that this is the case.

    The past is mostly speculation, and then there are questions with no definite answer and which I believe will never have an answer.

    I draw a complete blank when it comes to aliens, I like that because I reckon it would do my head in like a can of worms
