Titles:What A Tank Collector Found In The Gas Tank Is Unreal!You’ll Never Guess What Was Found In The Gas Tank Of This Military Tank! A Tank Collector Bought A Military Tank From eBay- You’ll Never Believe What Was In The Tank!People collect a lot of things. Old glassware, jewelry, comic books and more- you name it, someone is probably collecting it. But a tank collector? Yes, there is even a man in the United Kingdom who collects tanks in his spare time! And, he just purchased a new piece for his collection through the ease of the Internet. But when he went to work on it, he found the most amazing surprise ever! The collector, Nick Mead, never thought that when he bought a tank online that it would come with something extra. That extra was 2.4 million dollars worth of gold bullion in the gas tank! Unfortunately, Nick would not be allowed to keep the gold, but what an amazing discovery nonetheless!Nick Mead runs a channel on YouTube entitled Tanks- alot. After purchasing the tank online, Mead and his mechanic were working on it when he noticed that the fuel tank was much heavier than it should have been. He realized right away that there must be something hidden in it!The tank originally belonged to the Iraq Navy. It is a Type 69, a model that came into production in the late 1960s, although Iraqi soldiers didn’t use these tanks until the 1980s. Mead first thought that there were weapons hidden inside of the gas tank. To make sure the entire thing was caught on film, he had his mechanic videotape him opening the gas tank to see just what was inside of it. What the two found inside of the gas tank was much better, and brighter, than weapons! No one could even believe it until they saw it for themselves!They found five gold bars hidden inside of the gas tank of his newly purchased prize. Since Mead had legally purchased the tank on eBay for $35,000, most people would think that the gold was rightfully his property. Unfortunately, that turned out to be false. He was unable to keep the gold, according to an interview with The Sun. The value of the bars was estimated at around 2.4 million dollars.The collector stated in the interview that it isn’t easy to just walk into a store or bank and exchange bars of gold for cash. They were not sure what they should do, so Mead and his mechanic called their local police, who then took possession of the gold.The gold likely belonged to Kuwait. In August of 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait and seized thousands of gold bullion from the country. At the end of the Gulf War, Iraq was forced to return the gold by the United Nations, but it is still plausible to think that the gold was hidden and was unable to be recovered by the original owners.
