How much would a 5 gallon pail of gold weigh?

Answer:
Is the gold 5 gallon pail empty or full? If full, full of what?

Okay - 5 gallons
0.264 gallons/liter = 18.9 Liters
1000 cubic centimeters / liter = 18927 cc
19.32 grams per cc == 365670 grams
1000 grams per kg = 365.67 KG
2.2 pounds per kg = 804.5 pounds

plus 1/2 pound for the pail = 805 pounds.
