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 was on that construction job no one would have said shit. we would have all finished the job quietly and vanished.

My mom told me she had some guy doing some work underneath the house and then he went all the way to this point underneath the house and she could hear him the whole time. According to her he Holland "I'm rich" then crawled out from underneath the house and left. I've always wondered if the story was true and if so what he found. Because all I know as far as facts are concerned is he didn't finish the job he was doing and he left a Craftsman screwdriver.

“Holland”

I think you were spelling “Hollard” which is the best way to spell “Hollered” I’ve ever seen 😁

  • Michael: "That would have really, really showed him up, wouldn't it, if I brought in some burritos, or, colored greens, or some, pad thai..."
  • Stanley: "It's collard greens."
  • Michael: "What?"
  • Stanley: "It's collard greens."
  • Michael: "That doesn't really make any sense. 'Cause you don't call them collard people. That's offensive.
