Great... glad to see she could keep it. Not everyone would have turned it in...

Cheers, RickO

A picture of it would be nice.

17.6 oz - I wonder who made it, and the history.

Windfall tax is good for government.

Best way to get (and keep) free gold is to shut up when you find it.

A shame someone ground on it.

Berchtesgaden, Germany.
That's a mighty fine place if anyone ever heads to Europe. The serial number filed off the bar is suspicious, though.

Remove the serial number would be my guess

Good size...about 6.5 Germany's long.

Bar must be less than 10 years old, judging by the 999.9 fineness.

I read somewhere when it was first found that they ground it to test the purity but the removal of the serial number makes more sense.
