Man believes he found lost Nazi loot on Galveston beach

Christopher Davis has been combing the beaches of Galveston for years but nothing he's found compares to what he found washed up on Memorial Day weekend.

The Nazi already sent gold to South America six submarines docked in Brazil and Argentina each carrying 20 tonnes of gold . A large loot from the concentration camps totalled 104 tonnes also went missing. Towards the end of 1945 and after 600 tonnes of gold was used to prop up South American economy and in return 900 tonnes of gold returns to Germany in 1965 for the reconstruction of Germany. It's a true story.

I've been looking for a hunk of stinky brown rubber my entire life...

[whathappened]

No more beer for that dude... I think he's had enough.

[T.J.Caldwell]

If it was full of gold it definitely wouldn't be washing up on shore

When you adjust for inflation, that bundle is worth $2.93 now days.

In 2000, I found a gold wedding band buried in my backyard, I was digging up the soil to create a garden and it was down in the soil by about 14 inches. I sold it at a gold exchange store. Then in 2003, I found a soggy gross wallet, buried under old, wet rotting leaves, near my garage off our public alley. I had to let it dry for a day two, in the sun. Once it was dry I was able to peel away the layers, that were stuck together. There was no ID or credit cards, ....no name on anything. Right before I was about to throw it away, I noticed a tiny, hidden flap, inside one of the sleeves were one would place a house key or a coin, ....I pulled out a folded piece of paper the size of a postage stamp. There was a hand written poem on the paper, and a folded up, two dollar bill ($2.00). For the win!

I too have never found gold in trash. Slow news day.

[rickg.]

Great idea, make sandals that come with a terrible odor.

My German Shepherd also leaves dark brown piles which stink.

bundles of rubber are not that uncommon, probably fell off a boat or barge or raft and had been drifting for months to reach Texas from South America

[Outrunninaround.]

I hope he found gold and didn’t tell..

[mikeellis]

Passing out rubbers in Texas is a good thing.

In 1992 I was in high school and my friends and I were shark fishing on West Beach. I accidentally locked my keys in the truck. This was pre cell phone so we had to walk down the beach to a store on the road to use a pay phone. On the walk down the beach we found three bales of weed of about 10 pounds each. We tossed them in the dunes and came back for them the next weekend. They were gone. Someone else found them I guess. LOL Bummer.

Gotta love this dude thinking that bundles of gold would actually float! 😂

[justinberry]

Reminds me of Joe Dirt's space rock

[tomsherwood]

Wave a metal detector over your bail of rubber and you will find out if metal is hid inside.

[Rocknranchman]

We who hunt Galveston with metal detectors find all kinds of stuff lost by the public! Gold being very heavy most likely would not float! Happy hunting! 🌴

And so he cut it up and gave the smelly little bits of rubber to his friends, our question is how many friends has he got left?

[Drew-bczj]

He found Hitler's used rubber? 😀😆😅😂🤣

[julesleon]
