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

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

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.
