Gold Specific Gravity

Gold has a Specific gravity of 20 and water has a specific gravity of 1. That means that gold weighs 20 times more per gallon than water.
Since water weighs ~8.3lbs/gal
Gold weighs 20*8.3lbs/gal=166lbs/gal
For a 5 gal pail would weigh ~830lbs.

I have a giant pile of gold, and several eight gallon buckets. The buckets are also made out of gold. I could have my servant run some calculations, but I'm afraid we can't find your answer directly.
