    Sell it to kash4gold.com
    Or would you photograph the find and record any details before going any further and contact the relevant authorities?

    Would you sell national treasure if you could get away with it? 30 votes

    I'd keep it.. or if there was a lot, report it, but probably keep half for myself.
    Not for the money, i just like shiny things

    There not much you could do with it, it would be a bitch to launder, unless you wanted to deal with major crims.

    You could I suppose send little bits of the horde to one of those gold dealers and hope they are not interested as to why it not in jewellery form.

    I'd send them a postcard from a country that had no extradition treaty with Ireland.

    Sell it to a proper gold dealer, not a scam cash for gold type enterprise.
    I'd sell it for cash and keep all of it .

    I'd plunder it.
    Not a 100% sure what 'plundering' is, but it seems appropriate.

    Probably get my own cast made up then smelt it into that , thus making it harder for anyone else to try and claim it.
    Then sell some and get rest stored in secure location , somewhere in switzerland perhaps.

    Keep it, and wait until the dust settles.
    In a few years it may be useful.
