I had completed the Cidhna Mine quest and saved , then stepped outside to see the Male Thonar or something? He gave me His ring and told me I was pardoned, But when I checked my inventory there was NO gold! I had more than 70,000 and nothing was there.

I reloaded and tried again to the same end.

NO gold.

I've done a search and yielded NO results on these forums..

I've never had this happen on the PC while doing this quest so I'm at a loss as to what to do, or should I just avoid this quest all together?

I'm playing it on the ps3 atm, so no console command available.

Thanks for any help

-edit-

I found this post by searching google but no solution:

Check the Cidhna Mine 'offices' Just walk into the front enterance of the mine and look for your belongings, like you would in a normal prison. It may or may not be there.
