Yes, that sounds like BS. “Gold has a fingerprint”.

Gold is a natural element off the periodic table. Solid gold is nothing but a collection of gold molecules. Saying “gold has a fingerprint” is like saying hydrogen or helium has a finger print. Does iron have a fingerprint? I think not.

I am sure there are trace materials that would be a signature for gold ore, but once processed into the pure metal, I can’t see how there is any “fingerprint”.

No way I turn that gold into the government. I am going to find someway to liquidate it. I may not get street value but I should be able to find someway to get at least a million out of it.

Governments think everything belongs to them. We already really own nothing (try not paying your taxes), but no one I know is very happy.

All the burning bridges
That have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings
And the burning memories
Everyone I left behind
Each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

You hear these stories. WHY?

Man finds gold

Yeah, that’s a great song too. Largely forgotten, but some really good YouTube videos for it (with KH footage and one with Rogue One footage).

The 62-year-old, who runs Tanks-a-Lot on his farm in England, told the Daily Mail: “I regret handing it in. I should have at least got a finders’ fee for it but I got absolutely nothing.”

Idiot. Someone tell him "The Rules" :

1) Keep your wallet in your front pocket.
2) Never talk to the man.
3) Never, EVER do crazy.
