Very few things in life are made worse by not talking.
Definitely talk to your doctor if there’s blood in your urine!
Yes, maybe that. And in trusted personal relationships.
But when it comes to the government you shut the fuck up.
Because every day is shut the fuck up friday.
And yo butt!
Keep your cards close with strangers, show your hand to allies, and let your enemies glimpse the deck you want them to see.
Isn't that a terrible idea?
When finding huge sums of cash/gold whatever, isn't it illegal in most places to not report it?
So best case scenario is that you find it and no one else is looking for it and you carefully use it over years as to not raise a falg for your local tax agency or bank.
Worst case scenario is that you found something stolen and eventually the police finds you and you get caught up in a much worse crime?
Talk to a lawyer.
Don’t tell your friends, or the papers, or anyone you don’t need to.
store thats shit in a bank's vault, immediately.
move properties, because that one is gonna be burgled whether the gold is still in the premises or not.
FFS, give the man a chance to enjoy his new swimming pool first!
800k can buy several swimming pools.
Edit: fat fingered grammer
explain how
Money is exchanged for goods and services. A service some companies provide is digging and installing swimming pools.

I don't get it, explain simpler!
Give money get pool
Found treasures are likely property of the state, possibly with some small share awarded to the finder.
Not in France apparently:
"Ownership of a treasure belongs to the one who finds it on their own property,"
Ah, interesting. I've heard the opposite about one of their neighbours, perhaps Germany.
Once when I moved into another flat, I found an old typewriter in a dark corner. I still keep the thing. Next year it gets 100 years old.
Congratulations, next year it becomes self aware!
This guy was a yokai all along!
Thing looks like a hybrid of a typewriter and a cash register.
He's from Sesame Street. "Noo-nuh-noo-nuh-noo..."
This one's my favorite
Blimey. I was expecting it to be stolen but they say the bars had unique numbers, so it seems its owner buried it and then someone sold the property without realising what it contained.
or died?
Most likely, and the owner forgot to tell their kids that they had buried gold.
This is how we get angry Leprechaums…
Aren’t those the cheap Temu versions of Leprechauns? I heard they arrive broken; if they arrive at all.
The Labiabas?
Too bad he didn't find a frozen caveman.
then we coulda wheezed some juUICEEEE
Buuuudy
Don't wheeze the ju-uice!
(After he learns to communicate in a modern language)
"So, have humans gotten any better yet?"
is shown the news
"Re-freeze me. Now."
frozen frenchman
man I wish
He can use the gold to pay for the pool. Bold financing plan.
$800000 worth of gold is only 200 oz rn
That's a great ad for anyone selling pools.
