[BrewTech]

I totally agree. That would be a contradiction of terms, yes? Is the organization at the other end of the link you posted legit?

Hey if you guys think it fake then so be it, I just thought maybe some would be interested in the story but if I was wrong then sorry.

Mod can you please lock this.

Gold rush: Man finds treasure worth €83,500 in kitchen cupboard

https://www.thelocal.de/userdata/images/article/d2789a4ddb43f4d0ea1a1af191856c574de07c2dc26e3d90b6 85fbde6b364daa.jpg
He had bought the cabinet at a furniture exchange, a spokeswoman for the interior senator of the Hanseatic city in northwest Germany said on Tuesday.

The bars - a total of 2.5 kg of gold - were probably hidden for decades in an envelope on the back wall of a drawer.

They currently have an estimated value of around €83,500 - according to the Senate. And the man who found it will not walk away empty handed; he will receive around €2,500.

Although the man had bought the furniture, it was correct for him to report his discovery to the authorities, according to the spokeswoman. That's because he had not purchased the gold bars which were hidden inside it.

The finder brought the gold to the lost property office in Bremen in August. With the help of the police, the origin of the treasure was clarified.

The kitchen cabinet had belonged to a senior citizen from Bremen who had died in March. The late pensioner was considered wealthy and had lived in the house where the kitchen cupboard was all his life.

You will require extremely thick skin to keep playing.

I took a look at the https://www.thelocal.de homepage; appears to be a legit eng language news site.

sorry for the grief "Tape"; 99% of new posters here who immediately post links, are spammers.

welcome to GSUS! --H H--

If they are legitimate, when have they told us how the Federal Reserve works?

I agree, it should've been considered Silver when found and only valued at most $1320

This forum can be tough on new guys.

Consider it a right of passage to manhood.

this place has been a 'reverse roach motel' for years: IE, [regularly contributing members] check out, but they don't check in.

Name an 'organic' member here who wasn't a GIM refugee in Apr '10, who's stuck around? Are similar-minded forums, GIM2 etc, same story?

True, the PMs have been in a funk since Spring 2011 (except Pd lately...:cool:); but is it also the FB/twatter social media platforms slowly replacing old school BBS forums like this?

Without a doubt. The bigger venues tend to be the places where herd members gather and are corralled.

Toilet paper as currency.....come to think of it, it is more useful than the paper we use as cash.

I bought a bidet toilet seat some time back and it has cut way down on my use of toilet paper. My sister-in-laws made deprecating remarks about it; I told them they were welcome to continue with their wipe and smear method and that I just might consider charging them for use of the bidet in the future.

Tell them to bring their own, if they ever get the idea of visiting you again...

I really enjoy them, at least the two that aren't ultra religious. They are hilarious.

I am reminded of a humorous story from one of my aunts. She had gone to a gynecologist and at some point prior to the actual exam, went into the bathroom just off the exam room. I don't remember why, but she had reached into her purse to find some kleenex to dry herself. When the doctor was examining her, he reached down and brought his hand up with an 'S & H Green Stamp' on his finger and said, "Is this for me?" She was embarassed but they both chuckled none-the-less.
