This Guy Purchased A Tank On Ebay, But Didn’t Know It Contained A Fortune

The Gold Kept on Coming…

When Todd Chamberlain was first trying to figure out what was in the fuel tank, he’d told Nick Mead, “I’m thinking this is the guns to go with them. I reckon it’s full of guns. Which could be a problem for us.” After all the munitions they’d already found, the discovery of guns would have made sense. The fact that they kept pulling out bars of gold must have felt a little scary, as well as exhilarating. After all, somebody’s got to know that the gold was there, right?

So, that’s part of why they filmed the process of removing the gold from the tank. They wanted to be sure that nobody would suspect that they were in any way involved in the theft or ferreting away of the gold.

$2 Million Gold

You can well imagine how excited Todd Chamberlain and Nick Mead were when they discovered the hidden stash of gold. It’s not often that you hear about, let alone experience, a treasure-hunt discovery. So, this was quite a discovery. It also raised lots of questions.

Who owned the gold? Did anyone? Were they responsible for reporting it? And, really, why was it there in the first place? There were also questions about whether it had come from Iraq, and how (or if) that could complicate the discovery? There really were more questions than answers, and so Nick Mead did the only thing he felt that he could do: He reported the find to Emergency Services.
