Well it is, to a certain degree, until it is refined.“Gold has a fingerprint. They know where it’s been mined."
That's not true...
maybe this forum should be renamed the "fingerprint erasing forum"???Well it is, to a certain degree, until it is refined.
If someone is refining placer Gold they do indeed erase that Golds "fingerprints" by altering the composition of contaminants.maybe this forum should be renamed the "fingerprint erasing forum"???
Sounds like something the police told him to discourage him from trying to hide/sell a 6th or 7th bar if he found any more. "We will know you did it"-sort of thing.“Gold has a fingerprint. They know where it’s been mined."

Pretty sure it's refined gold. Doubt the Kuwaiti government would house electrum bars. They aren't very usable as a commodity. Surely these are fine gold bars.In the article 2 things struck me, first 5 bars worth 2.5 million and second the gold having a “fingerprint”. Natural gold indeed has a fingerprint and this was true of the ancient naive gold which was called electrum. 5 bars totaling 2.5 million dollars today means every bar was close to 200 oz. I don’t know of any refiners casting 200 ounce bars today. Maybe these bars are ancient electrum and would be traceable to a region.
The gold probably now rests securely in government hands either as natural electrum or having been refined to remove any evidence of origin. Either way the guy who found it is SOL.
