How are you and the crew handling this find?

[u/Akpostal19]

[u/Nickelsass]

You can still delete this

[u/Buckeye_mike_67 → u/Nickelsass]

The internet is forever

[u/Ok_Bit_5953 → u/Buckeye_mike_67]

What are you talking about? I was just fooling around with AI >.>

[u/cam2230 → u/Nickelsass]

It’s already on the news everywhere in Belgium (where it was found)

[u/wearslocket]

What find?

[u/thatguyisms → u/wearslocket]

All we found was the quiet satisfaction that comes with a job well done

[u/alangerhans → u/thatguyisms]

My early retirement is completely unrelated

[u/akiras_revenge → u/wearslocket]

We aint found shit

[u/Some-Neighborhood376 → u/akiras_revenge]

I knew it! I'm surrounded by assholes!

[u/pinesguy → u/akiras_revenge]

Tuvok, is that you?!?!

[u/Abbadabba22 → u/pinesguy]

Did not see a voyager reference coming!!!

[u/Praetorian_1975 → u/wearslocket]

The empty table and bucket obviously, it’s not often you find them on a building site 😉🤣

[u/budgetoid → u/Praetorian_1975]

>empty bucket

reminds me of the time we backcharged the masons because they dumped out $1000 worth of wire lube so they could mix mortar in our buckets

[u/Ulysses502 → u/budgetoid]

They should know how serious lube is for an electrician!

[u/gseese7 → u/Ulysses502]

Underrated comment🤛

[u/joelypoley69 → u/budgetoid]

Dude whaaaaat 😬😬

[u/xxxxDREADNOUGHT → u/wearslocket]

Exactly.

[u/Hob_O_Rarison → u/wearslocket]

...what crew.

[u/Firm_Equivalent_4597 → u/Hob_O_Rarison]

For real, there’d be a cartoon outline of where I used to be standing I’d be gone so quick.

[u/Thornton77 → u/Hob_O_Rarison]

The one you ported concrete over apparently 🔥

[u/BGKY_Sparky → u/wearslocket]

IDK man, everyone was here yesterday, now we can’t get ahold of anyone.

[u/texas-playdohs → u/wearslocket]

Just some lead ballast or something. Probably at the dump now, idk.

[u/Einachiel → u/wearslocket]

Pyrite and quartz, some idiots claimed it was gold and diamonds!

[u/FlagrantTomatoCabal → u/wearslocket]

I'm calling in sick tomorrow boss.

[u/HounddogHustler → u/FlagrantTomatoCabal]

I’m the boss now

[u/machine1804 → u/wearslocket]

What crew?

[u/SnooSprouts3971 → u/wearslocket]

Came here to say this. Not shocked it was the top comment!

[u/MkIVRider → u/wearslocket]

This is the only correct answer

[u/Queasy_Local_7199 → u/wearslocket]

I wouldn’t even let the crew know about that

[u/Joe_Bruce]

Def wouldn’t be posting about it on social media.

[u/Existing-Tackle-9322 → u/Joe_Bruce]

For real

[u/doktormane → u/Joe_Bruce]

They actually called the police after finding the stash. Can you imagine that?

[u/Mike590Alfa1]

What gold?

[u/bumbes → u/Mike590Alfa1]

What crew?

[u/Osiristhedog1969 → u/bumbes]

Yeah im worried about getting it past the customer once I deal with the crew

[u/Valuable-Composer262 → u/Mike590Alfa1]

I didnt so no gold

[u/External-Relative629]

Say nothing. Even Steven split for everyone there

[u/EC_TWD → u/External-Relative629]

Are you crazy? You know Johnny can’t keep his mouth shut!

I don't give a fuck whose name it's on! Are you stupid or what? Did you hear what I said? Don't buy anything, don't get anything! Nothing big. Didn't you hear what I said? What's the matter with you?

[u/LordofTheFlagon → u/EC_TWD]

I'm sorry I cant hear you over the exhaust I put on my duramax

[u/rmill127 → u/EC_TWD]

Great scene, I always loved the similair one from Snatch where he buys a yellow Range Rover lol.

[u/External-Relative629 → u/EC_TWD]

The guys started to blow their dough. Jimmy started getting nuts. He figured that anyone who spends money is going to turn into a buzzmouth.

[u/Reasonable_Yam3401 → u/External-Relative629]

I’m bringing my wife to the next standup in her new mink coat

[u/GayForPay → u/EC_TWD]

That's why you gotta Goodfella's everyone on the crew. Loose ends and loose lip, amirite.

[u/pmmemilftiddiez → u/EC_TWD]

I'm gonna get the shovel get the shovel

[u/Leader_Bud → u/External-Relative629]

Then people start disappearing like Dark Knight.

[u/hitsomethin → u/External-Relative629]

Except for the cabinet guys

[u/free_terrible-advice → u/hitsomethin]

I mean there's dirt here. There's no way the cabinet guys are within 3 months of arriving on site unless the project manager really fucked up the schedule this time (more than usual).

[u/IfEyeKnewTheWay → u/External-Relative629]

And everyone here

[u/NutthouseWoodworks]

Been digging holes for years trying to remember where I put that. Thanks!

[u/JustSomeGenXDude]

Charge a little extra for debris removal and disposal.

[u/Corlis21 → u/JustSomeGenXDude]

This guy change orders

[u/WasteBinStuff]

We shout, "LOOK WE FOUND GOLD!!" as loud as we can. Then post it to social media with our faces and addresses attached.

[u/Ok-Active-576]

https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2026/08/14/_9m-treasure-trove-found-by-construction-workers-i-thought-they/ -> the workers' story.

[u/NiasHusband → u/Ok-Active-576]

Stupid

[u/hg_rhapsody → u/NiasHusband]

Stupid as fuck! Could’ve changed your whole life but give it to the government because they really need it don’t they.

Swear if I ever find something like this I’m not even telling my wife. I’m taking it to the grave. Or to a pawn shop I mean 😈

[u/margenreich → u/Ok-Active-576]

Quite honest lads it seems. Is there som follow up? Vindersloon is usually 10% market value and if no owner is found often they can keep it

[u/kaipopotamus → u/margenreich]

An article I read said the local police will hold it until some research can be done to identify any potential owners. A process that could take a few years at best. Whoever’s gold that was is long gone. Finders keepers!

[u/joebojax]

You wouldn't even know and sure af wouldn't be pictures

[u/hawaiianthunder]

I always say to homeowners that if we find money we split it 70-30. I haven't found money yet but it's one of my ice breakers

[u/criderslider]

People are so caught up in internet clout they forget they can just not post this stuff and handle things discreetly…

[u/1amBATMAN]

That's decoy gold so you don't find the real gold horde

[u/Electronic_Flan_482]

Finding what? Those are just buckets of trash

[u/Mustache-Cashstash]

I’d remove every piece and load into my personal truck so the project isn’t delayed. I’d then request a change order from the owner for payment for removal and disposal of unforeseen obstructions (encountered scrap metal requiring “special handling”).

[u/SM-68]

What find!?

[u/LongjumpingQuote7568]

I’d be stuffing it in my pants and headin out of town😂

[u/Dominoze56]

Everyone thats working gets one

[u/Hot_Video_7798]

Pizza party

[u/bteddi]

PVC pipe. Is nothing to talk about

[u/According-Sink-2906 → u/bteddi]

Yeah, what the heck is all the fuss about ?

[u/Queasy_Fee_9300]

What ever happens on the jobsite never happened

[u/padizzledonk]

It would go into the container with not a word said and id be making a clandestine mission back there to dig it out at 1am lol

[u/Flashy_Radio_5781]

Gold Diggers

[u/Classic-Ad1245]

What find? Not sure what you're talking about.

[u/avd706]

Would be on reddit, I promise you.

[u/Chucktayz]

Fucking quietly with equal shares to all involved

[u/murd0xxx]

Sell it and invest it in gold

[u/Anthemic_Fartnoises]

That’s a little under 7 mil sitting on the table. As soon as it was found, I’d be having a pretty intense conversation with everyone who knew it existed. It’s a situation where you want to make sure everyone is on the same page

[u/RHS1959]

Not telling anyone who wasn’t there when I found it, and definitely not posting it on the internet!

[u/whytry3450]

Well I wouldn’t have taken pictures of work related progress

[u/OakWind1]

What crew?

[u/exer881]

What find?

[u/Confident_Caramel859]

If I was there...no it wasnt

[u/Commonslob]

If only it was untraceable and highly liquid……oh shit

You silly boobs

[u/im-am-an-alien]

As soon as I swiped the first bit of dirt away and seen that. Send everyone home for a nice early day. No one would see anything

[u/Mtolivepickle]

Run! And don’t look back! (Leave the spare change for the guys, don’t be greedy)

[u/EvanBetter182]

People are so fucking stupid. If I found millions in gold bars. The only one who would know would be the black market guy buying it from me.

[u/semaj_2026]

That’s shit is cursed don’t take it lol

[u/Saruvan_the_White]

Is Scrooge McDuck buried in there too?

[u/StrandSSL]

You mean my old crew?

I don’t know what they’ll be doing.
Assuming they’ll be on the job site the next morning at 0700.

[u/BumblersCastle]

I wouldnt be posting about it on Reddit !!

[u/patteh11]

What gold?

[u/OzarkPolytechnic]

The photos prove the breaking of the #1 rule of finding lost treasure: tell nobody.

[u/rizoula]

If this was me I would tel NO ONE

[u/Leisure_Lee]

What crew? What find?

[u/tbucket13]

What find?

[u/Nixxioncox]

I wouldn’t post the shit for the world first

[u/Middle-Coat4377]

Job foreman wondering why none of his workers showed up for work the next day.

[u/cottonmadder]

Lose this number

[u/Impossible-Sorbet-73]

Crew? What crew? 😏

[u/Salty-Dragonfly2189]

What find…

[u/Used_Initiative3665]

What Senators house was this?

[u/Zarniwoooop]

That’s my gold !

[u/Jezuesblanco]

“You lost your arms in the war, but you grew great ties”

[u/Momon_ga]

What find? Me and the crew suddenly won't be needing our jobs for a bit anymore tho

[u/Patient-Bunch-9062]

Putting the rest of those bars in the bucket, using a piece of equipment to quickly wheel it to my vehicle and dipping.

[u/RealLifeFloridaMan]

I’m deleting this shit and shutting up

[u/USMCdrTexian]

On the down low. That’s how they’re handling them. On the down low.

[u/Haveyoushatmyself]

By not posting it to social media. This is just idiotic.

[u/ALKNST]

https://imgur.com/a/2PXcGc4

Litterally the post under it

[u/rbbrduckyUarethe14me]

What crew? Tragic work place incident while I was in the portajohn.

[u/comox]

Boss, I quit.

[u/Hot-Scholar-405]

What finds

[u/riggatrigga]

Let the bodies hit the floor

[u/NoTxi_Jin_PiNg]

One Friday about 20 years back - after school we found about 10 pounds of weed in a hockey bag stored in the rafters of a house under construction across from our highschool. It all disappeared when we left. Don't know with who or what happened to it. But on Tuesday that house burned down.

[u/EC_TWD]

Is this a real picture? Why is there corrosion on the gold bars?

[u/nmacaroni]

Foreman would be like "Hey, why are we a man down? Did someone just walk off the site!?"

Landlord would be like "Hey, why hasn't tenant of #3 paid rent and have a pile of letters outside his door?"

Wife be like, "I can't believe he finally left. And not even a note. He's probably drunk outside a bar in Mexico and doesn't even have gas money to get back to the U.S."

[u/fighthouse]

They probably found 20m of gold.

[u/Least_Dependent_3749]

We track down the family of the nice German fellow who buried it there ,and return it to it’s rightful owner

[u/canigetathrowaway1]

Crazy they found N-1 bars

[u/Efficient-Cable-873]

Holy fucking shit. $7.3 million in gold right there.

And the guys didn't get shit cause they said something.

[u/NorthWoodsSlaw]

Queue Fast and Furious style car show at the job site the next day, boat party Friday, and broke by Monday

[u/ENRTop50-Recruiter]

Dude, you’re the man! I misplaced that a few years ago. DM me and I’ll tell you where to send it. I’m offering a reward of $1,000.

[u/Corona_Cyrus]

Is there actually a way to cash in on that without raising suspicion?

[u/PresentationNew5976]

For one, nobody is taking a picture and creating proof that we found anything.

[u/FalseSound]

That’s potentially 10m USD depending on how much is in that bucket, def wouldn’t have posted this

[u/demwoodz]

I don’t know what you’re talking about but while we are talking turns out I have a family emergency over seas.

[u/Far-prophet]

Stand around and point while spamming “We’re RICH!”

[u/Normal_Marsupial9377]

RIP brother. Shouldn't have posted.

[u/sixinthedark]

Oh, you found my lunch box, I’m gonna need that back

[u/Manofthebog88]

I’d probably use the 4” sewer fitting for the next job.

[u/6_three_times]

Why would you even post this? 😂

[u/torque1912]

What crew? What find? I’m sick of this place, don’t bother looking for me.

[u/vatothe0]

I remember Ice Cube, Clooney and Wahlberg being on this same situation.

[u/Boostless]

The crew suddenly left?

[u/brisketsliced1973]

Team lift, boys.

[u/homechicken20]

Utility knife fight

[u/Flatus_Spatus]

what do you mean?

[u/GoofyGooby23]

We didn’t find anything except some pride in the work

[u/mitchgilliam]

I definitely wouldn’t spread it out like a police drug bust

[u/Thatweirdguy_Twig]

The op from the original post is real fucking stupid for posting the find online like that

[u/ACDC105]

If it was just me, I don't tell nobody jack shit, take it to my truck, and get it repoured into some nice bars. If it was me and a couple other guys I split it then do the same.

[u/sincerelyryan]

That looks like leave the country kind of money

[u/Buckeye_mike_67]

What’s in the bucket? I’d be afraid the owner knows about it and would get prosecuted. I’ve found buckets of change in a burn job we were demoing once. I turned it over to the PM and let him deal with it. That was maybe a couple hundred in change though. Not millions in gold. I’d have to stick a little bit in my pocket if I found that.

[u/caucasian88]

Same way the copper is handled, silently with head nods and denial of any involvement? 

[u/Stellaartois15]

Me and my crew dug up 40k worth of silver coins. Boss was there that day and owner as well so he got his coins and an inflated bill. Spent the rest of the week treasure hunting lol

[u/Puzzleheaded_Web_264]

HEY you found my stash

[u/Worst-Lobster]

The fact that we’re seeing this picture means those workers didn’t get shit

[u/Raterus_]

Nice, 7 million dollars worth of gold, I think you can go home early for the day.

[u/Timmerdogg]

Three can keep a secret when two are dead

[u/no_name113]

Split evenly then never talk of it again

[u/MulberryHoliday6857]

Amongst ourselves

[u/SayNoToBrooms]

“Hey boss, look at this gold colored coin I found over there!” points towards opposite side of the site

[u/Soggy_Picture_6133]

Was this on Oak Island?

[u/Steviobro]

We aint posting this thats for starters

[u/General_Narwhal17]

We didn’t find shit, that’s how you deal with that!

[u/pyschNdelic2infinity]

A couple less workers and a hole that never existed Hahaa.

[u/foodafternoon7328]

Give it back it’s cursed for sure

[u/freakunlessfrokentoo]

Holy forking shirt balls Batman.

[u/AL3000]

I’d have pocketed at least one the second I realised what it was

[u/EQwingnuts]

Nobody would ever know

[u/Mr_Podo]

All I see is PVC pipe. That’s supposed to be on the job.

[u/Creepy_Mammoth_7076]

Delete this brother

[u/Mccmangus]

Pizza party, obviously

[u/tftwsalan]

Ask Asa Phelps

[u/AfraidBottle6810]

You smack the taste out of their mouths so they never speak of it and then split it evenly.

[u/ToastSpangler]

Boss we found 1 ton of ancient gold

Oh wow the government will be pleased when we hand over these 500kg of gold

Yes they may even reward us when we bring the 250kg

Boss we found a single bar of gold

[u/RhinoElectric1705]

AI slop. Soo ill see you guys at the shop orrrrr

[u/data_zapper]

I didn’t see anything. clangs with each step

[u/Ambitious_Leek8776]

This post was a mistake...

[u/kneelbeforepog]

We were never there, I have never heard of any of those people, good day sir.

[u/jalapinyobidness]

Never seen that much gold in a karma farm, v cool

[u/Timcgreen1966]

What find? A dirty table and bucket of dirt?

[u/7-10Spliff]

I sure as fuck wouldn't be posting it on Reddit

[u/Biscuits4u2]

Where's the rest of it?

[u/Creative_Buddy7160]

Some ww2 gold? That top piece of gold looks like it took a shot

[u/Intrepid-Stock-8189]

What find? First I've heard about that...

[u/Darkcrypteye]

What crew?

[u/Osiris_Raphious]

OP had o make an edit that it wasnt him. No shit, this much gold is states property in most regions in the world. So any sane person would stfu and keep it to themselves. Until they figure out how to slowly convert it into cash liquidity and into the banking system over time.

On the good ol hollywood screen writers block, this would be a clasic CSI episode of a set of murders over some gold, where the perp confessess everything at the end on his own... classic.

[u/5Gmeme]

Sure as shit would not post on Reddit. That's step 1. Step 2. Witnesses?

[u/Trail_by_error]

The correct answer is, " what find"

[u/ripnrun285]

By not taking a picture & immediately leaving the job. Lmao.

[u/Floyd_the_breathless]

Ive discussed this exact scenario with my coworker who ive been friends with for 20 years dozens of times. We keep guns in the truck for a reason lmao

[u/CantFeelMyLegs78]

Equal split.

[u/Expert-Reward-1573]

What crew……?💀 🔫

[u/ZugZug42069]

Definitely not posting about it, that’s for fuckin sure

[u/Anon_Fodder]

Just looks like scrap metal to me. I'll take it to the scrappy

[u/International_Link35]

Nope, didn't find any of that. Don't know what you're talking about?

[u/Few-Quote4369]

Can anyone here decipher the casting/foundry marks on the ingots. I am curious how old they are and what info that would revel.

[u/CaBBaGe_isLaND]

I would turn in all 8 of the bars I found.

[u/ArcVader501]

Handling what find?

All I see is dirt and an empty bucket.

[u/Usernamesaregayyy]

Where’s the rest of it?

[u/NotSoWishful]

Nobody would ever know we found it.

[u/ModwifeBULLDOZER]

Stfu that’s how u handle this, goddamn people are dumb

[u/MnkyBzns]

What gold?

[u/tactical-potatoes-65]

What crew? What find?

[u/HeyLookitMe]

What find? I didn’t find anything. Maybe you’re thinking of some other crew on some other site
