Might as well write it was destroyed because the only way to sell gold this old is to melt it down.

Most jewelry, unfortunately. Stolen museum grade artwork is almost impossible to sell. It's usually broken up into loose gemstones and melted metal within hours of the theft, and sold. Very easy to dispose of lucratively.

What the hell man? That's fucking Gaulish.

I'll see myself out.
