Ownership of the gold is still ‘in limbo’ but a movie about the find is possible.
Disposition of 60 pounds of gold bars found in the fuel tank of a military tank that a British military hardware collector purchased on eBay is “still in limbo,” according to the collector.
Nick Mead from Tanks-a-lot Ltd. at Spring Farm, Helmdon, Northhamptonshire, in the United Kingdom, said no determination has been made concerning the five gold bars, which are believed to have been possibly looted by Iraqi soldiers during the invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. The bars were discovered in the spring of 2017 after the tank Mead purchased on eBay was being refurbished. The bars were found during a cleaning of the tank's fuel tank.

I can assure you of one thing.... If I found those gold bars, in a (tank or other purchase) of mine, there would never have been a news article or even a whisper of such a find. Long ago, when I went into cache hunting with my metal detector, I learned..."Silence is golden.".....I don't care if it is a valuable ring, coins or gold....once public, claims will come out of nowhere.

I suspect that the fuel tank on a tank is darn big and heavy and requires multiple people to pull out. Therefore, there were witnesses.
Wow, unbelievable, "silence is gold-en" !!!
Interesting video. My question is, where did the original ebay seller get the tank from and are there any markings on the gold bars indicating that they are bars from the Kuwaiti gold reserve.
I guess we know where the gypsies are hiding the stolen gold....
I am not buying the we just discovered gold in the fuel tank video. They want me to believe they filmed the moment they discovered 5 giant gold bars without shaking the camera? More likely they found 50 bars and staged the video. I will be honest, I would have kept my mouth shut, and I suspect they are not as fourth coming as they appear.
@goldburger... You could be right... If it were me, there would be no video, no comments and no discussion.....Cheers, RickO
Gold? What gold?
If the guys working in that refurbishing shop all retire within the year, we'll know.
I knew it would happen.
