Someone will buy the gold from you no questions asked especially if they are getting a keep it secret price. Or sit on it and have your wife’s nephews slowly sell it off.then they will be a liability. No one can keep a secret that involves gold.
In addition to water oxygen is required in order for steel to rust. The bottom of deep lakes are usually lower in oxygen and also cold so stuff gets preserved better. If that car had been sitting in a forest for a hundred years the body would probably be almost completely rusted away by now.
Seven years from now. This is Mary of Local 2 News, reporting live with Jason Folger who yesterday found hundreds of pounds of gold in of all places, his fish aquarium. More details as they unfold.

Either he kept it or the person driving the taxi stole it and then sank the taxi to make it look like the treasure went down with it either way both clever men 👍🏼
There are lots of similar stories in that area, mostly about vehicles filled with Gold bars, or Silver bars, or money, that went through the ice one winter. And they have been looking for the kimberlite dike that a big diamond came out of 100 years ago. Oh, BTW, no one knows what happened to that big diamond.
If the gold was really missing, the liquor would be gone too. They would have taken it also. So, no gold was found huh? We believe you Jason! Wink Wink!
@@ronblack7870 it needs contained in same water until it can be transported to be cleaned and preserved. Even cops keep guns found in water bags of the water it's found in to stop the rapid onset of corrosion.
Oh, he was alright. Who do you think started the rumor about the gold? "I had it, right there in me car, but all was lost when she fell through the ice."
Ahhh, Reo. Fun fact. The letters R.E.O. are for Ransom Eli Olds who built his Curved Dash Oldsmobile car from 1901 to 1903. GM bought him out & he went on to make Reo Cars & Reo Speedwagon trucks.
What's the gold story? Personal panning operation? Bigger mining operation? Gold jewelry? If the floor rotted away anything heavy could be underneath in the mud. Hearing the gold story might help ascertain the chances of it being true or not.
If there was gold in it, someone else got it years ago or he's got it and kept quiet. With how much gold weighs and the poor condition of the body, it could have broken through the bottom of the taxi and be on the bottom of the lake bed. One thing is for sure...if you find hidden treasure, never let on to anyone that you've found it. Life is so much easier when you keep your mouth shut.
Everyone on here talking about him finding the gold, well how about the car didn’t “fall through the ice” they took the gold, got outta dodge and sunk the car.
That's just a little less dumb than saying "Get the Titanic out of the ocean and restore it"~ It's just not possible, guy~ The metal would turn to dust~
Spend a bundle to go scuba diving in a cold lake fifty feet down in dark water for a couple bottles of booze. Now that's some hard up alcoholism there!
All he has to do now is find the loot from the 1961 Bank Robbery of Havelock Ontario. The money from the Bad Luck Bank Robbers was never recovered. Presumably hidden away just north of town after fleeing the getaway vehicle, but before they were all apprehend.
Chrome or Nickel-plated brass shell over a steel base. The only useable parts after that much time underwater would be the glass tail, cowl, and headlight lenses, and maybe the brass taillight bezel.

Smart move, no gold was found. 😊
That’s right! 🤫
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔 👍
Or, the taxi driver retrieved it.
O it was found but.. "Lost in a boating accident" on the way back!
lol! I was thinking the same!
I heard the keys were still in it, so they tried to start it. But it was flooded.
Only car guys will get this 😂
Hahaha take the plugs out and turn it over
Very clever ~
Haha!!!😂

Did any body lose a roll of $100 dollar bills wrapped in a rubber band, because I found the rubber band.😂
Oh, he found the gold. He was smart and melted down, saying nothing about it.
Nah, whoever found it before this guy has the goods.
Remember that guy who found the sunken treasure and the government confiscated all of it?
50 ft of water is not that deep for some divers ... somebody in the 70s already scooped it up - diving gear was advanced then
Hes only bringing up a little bit at a time, so not to draw any more attention to himself.
Considering it’s been underwater all this time the body looks in better shape than a lot of cars on the road up there
LOL!
Freshwater helps
Especially Ontario cars.

No gold? 87 year-old rye whiskey is solid gold.

The minute they hit air they would begin a disappearing act.

I would remove it just for display purposes. As a local legend that has almost been known for 100 years, it'd definitely be a tourist attraction.
The real treasure was the friends we made along the way
There are big ships, there are small ships, but the best ships are friendships.
@@dekelanson5280 There's no "i" in "I found the treasure and didn't tell anyone."
Can you point to exactly the spot where the gold wasn't?

Ransom E Olds
Founded and sold Oldsmobile to GM. Started another car company. REO.
And now you know!
I hope someone does bring it up. After 87 years of mystery and legend it would be cool to preserve it.
Totally cool! 😎
Greetings from Florida, USA! 🙂 👋🏼
How do they not mention what happened to the driver???
Did the driver go down with the car? Did it get a mention in a newspaper from the day?
If the gold was really missing, the liquor would be gone too. They would have taken it also. So, no gold was found huh? We believe you Jason! Wink Wink!
I wouldn’t admit to finding anything either 😊
REO SpeedWagon
I DOUBT they searched that well enough. If it was in a cloth bag in fine form you would have to pan the mud under it.
They found the gold, they are just keeping it private.
Someone needs to retrieve that vehicle and restore it.
You bring that car up to air and it'll fall apart.
@@joycemyers8140 it's in fresh water not salt water so there is no salt infiltration of the metal like in ocean treasure

“Yes sir, that’s right, there was no gold in that car!”
This is an awesome story!
Hmmm, Heavy Taxi Goes thru The Ice & No Heavy Load Found, Another Mystery Of Nature! Did it Float away?
Always treasure involved and always a tall tale.
Thats pretty cool ...not for the guy in 1937 though 😅
Oh, he was alright. Who do you think started the rumor about the gold?
"I had it, right there in me car, but all was lost when she fell through the ice."
A great and successful find.
Amazing that no one found it for all these years
Bring it up and show it in a museum please .
It's such a cool, rare car.
Only 50 feet down someone if there ever was any got that gold my guess would be in the 1960s and lived a great life😂😂😂
It was 20 buck an Oz. In 1960...
Why does Jason have all the luck don't you know, i really need the money and always dredging for that cab😂❤
The REO is what Reo Speedwagon was named after!
The Speedwagon model was a pick up truck. Very stylish. Google it and see some of the restored beauties.
Ahhh, Reo. Fun fact. The letters R.E.O. are for Ransom Eli Olds who built his Curved Dash Oldsmobile car from 1901 to 1903. GM bought him out & he went on to make Reo Cars & Reo Speedwagon trucks.
REO is pronounced as a word ("ree-oh"), not as individual letters -- except for the rock band.
😂 no gold 😂 uh huh…
Nope 😉
Nope not a trace😂
The gold is underneath the vehicle. Weight, gravity, rust, time, etc. Maybe it eventually fell through the vehicle?
Either he found gold and isn’t talking, or this was a heist in the 30’s and the cab was sunk to cover their tracks.
Did the driver live?
Wait, no mention of a body in the car???
Canadians they don’t die they simply fade away
Fish poop
What's the gold story? Personal panning operation? Bigger mining operation? Gold jewelry? If the floor rotted away anything heavy could be underneath in the mud. Hearing the gold story might help ascertain the chances of it being true or not.
If he had opened his mouth, the government and local museums would have seized the gold already.
No gold. How surprising 😮
That car would start to fall apart within hours of removing it if they tried, it’s a cool time capsule as it is
Never report found gold or treasure. Some scummy bureaucrat will try to steal it
Это полный потряс, когда сбываются вот такие нереальные истории из детства!!💪💪👍👍👍
No gold was found. Rocks up in a lambo to work 😂😂😂
Doubtful, but someone may have found the gold years ago, and remained silent.
If there was gold in it, someone else got it years ago or he's got it and kept quiet.

Announced three weeks ago, found three months ago.
I used to search for gold under my church built in 1876. I just knew someone in the congregation buried it there.
I returned to the site, but by then someone from New York had stolen the hubcaps.
If he didn't get that gold, the taxi driver did back in the 30's
Will it run??
Ran when parked. 😂
No , water would have gradually seeped into the engine internals and rusted it solid .
>Jay Leno< would love to get this car expecially with the story behind it. Gold was illegal to own in the late 30's
So where's the gold? Where's that driver? Was there really gold in it when it went down?
Everyone on here talking about him finding the gold, well how about the car didn’t “fall through the ice” they took the gold, got outta dodge and sunk the car.
Reo flying cloud was a well made vehicles
BRAVO it he found any Gold and non reported 😛👍🏻
I just googled REO Flying Cloud, and it was a sedan. I always thought REO only built fire trucks since that’s what they were famous for
Don't forget the Speedwagon!

Those hub caps are in an amazing condition. I am guessing nickel plated with enamelled badge work? Anybody know?
In 1929, it would have been chrome plated vanadium steel.
Chrome plated gold.
Chrome or Nickel-plated brass shell over a steel base. The only useable parts after that much time underwater would be the glass tail, cowl, and headlight lenses, and maybe the brass taillight bezel.
The owner said he hald gold im the car for others to retrieve it...
He's not telling what he found!!
If you say you found gold the government comes and takes it all..

Did he really drink out of a 87 year old bottle of alcohol? That’s wild
Its so ominous 😳
REOs had a rust problem. That's why we don't see many.
mayby gold was never there and car through ice was a cover up
I hope the meter wasn't still running...
Ummmm...yeah, there was no gold. 😇
Nice one for not handing over the gold, he search for it for decades
There’s a car collector somewhere needing those spare parts.
If the gold had been found by someone prior to this, do you think they’d say so?😂😂😂
Somebody probably found it long, long time ago and got the treasure
If there wasn't any gold its the wrong car
“no gold was found” yeah right! 😂👏
