No Sir, I'm just asking if this has a value. So can anyone tell me about these stones. I don't have any idea.

Before I answer your question(s)...
Answer a few of mine.
Where did you find them ? General location.
Did you find them in the ground ?... Water ? ... Thrift store ?... where.

Ground Sir, on my grandfather's backyard. His house is located near mountains. Sorry for my bad English. I posted it here because I don't have any idea about those stones I found. And I don't have posted this on social sites for my security, if those stones has worth.
scratch them good and repost a picture.....

Without a closer look from better pictures...
I will tell you only what they APPEAR / LOOK like.
It LOOKS LIKE... you MAY have found gold ingots.
And not just any ingots either.
These ingots... IF REAL... have value that exceeds that of "just gold"... and
Great care should be taken in personal security with these.... in other words...
BE VERY careful WHO you show these to until you have more information here.

Too broad of an example kings kid...
What Kings is suggesting is to scratch the ingots to see if the surface layer can be removed / expose the underlying composite(s)..
BUT !
Only make a small scratch on the bottom in a SMALL delicate way.

They tell you on the side what they are which leads me to believe they are fake.....

The reason you do not want to scratch anywhere in these ingots is because these have not only the gold value but also an intrinsic value as well.
ANY scratches should be ON BACK... in an inconspicuous way.

Kings...
Theory must never contradict facts...
Facts are...
Period tarnish...
Three separate detailed mold crucibles...
Sizes are in relation / retrospect to weight claim.
Location found.
SO FAR... there is nothing that says fake to me YET.

I do see age/patina on them. My curiosity is up but also my skepticism. I don't mean to be rude or ignorant, but are these not faked quite often.

Perhaps ole "grandpa" was a busy guy on his property and deposited them... perhaps even someone before him.
VERY interesting at least.
Must do some research on this one for sure... ***YAWN***... not awake just yet... but heck here goes nothing.

Oh one more thing before I begin this research I just noticed...
The circle mark... I have seen this "type" of mark many times before on antique gold...
prevalent on ingots of this period.... WHICH does not discount the possibility of fake... just matches is all.
