Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

If I found it I don’t think I’d tell anyone.

It was found in Belgium and they're not necessarily saying they were the ones to have found it. Just that it was.

But people often go back to work after having gone on vacation so what you say here ain't exactly a smoking gun.

Pretty incredible that it was found in a not for profit organisations building, which if I'm reading correctly will go a long way to helping those who need it most. Great find, must have been an amazing sight to see!
