A military buff who bought a tank on eBay for £30,000 could not believe his eyes when he found £2million in gold bars hidden inside.

The five gold bars, hidden in the diesel tank, are believed to have been looted by Iraqi soldiers during the invasion of Kuwait in 1990. 

Nick Mead, 55, runs Tanks-a-Lot on a site in Helmdon, Northamptonshire and was restoring the Chinese-made T54 tank to add to the collection of 150 military vehicles.

The vehicle was restored by previous owner Joe Hewes, 23, who replaced its tracks and fixed its engine without ever discovering the valuable booty inside.

Who the hell tells the police they found gold bars?

If he lives in the UK, It will be classed as treasure and 1/2 of it will go to the Queen or treasury.  Honestly who in there right mind would declare a gold find in the UK, you would have to be an idiot.  A more serious matter of this law is for historical finds anyone who now finds Roman or Celtic Gold will just melt it down.

The government would want their cut, one way or another!

It will go back to the Government of Iraq; this was illegally stolen by Saddam and then by the soldiers. 

But what kind of idiot hands it to plod?  Cut it up and melt it down.  They won't see a penny of it now.
