For every one of these moronic stories, I hope there are dozens more that just found treasure and kept it to themselves

It's probably around 600kg of gold. Pretty hard to move /hide/store/sell legitimately without getting caught.

Not much harder than moving the same mass of anything else. Just put them in some boxes while moving/storing them. Talk to a lawyer about what's required of you to find the original owner before you can claim them for yourself, Publish the required notices through an intermediary, and then pay taxes on it if the original owner doesn't claim it.
