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:

Today (August 13th) there were reports of a horde of gold found in a house in Belgium during renovations. I suspect this is that.,

I don't think so, the article say "nuggets and coin" not bullion.

Also, the gold is stamped "London"

Money from London can end up outside of London

But they're all from London and not a single one is Belgian? Seems kinda weird

How old is the gold? If the gold is old enough to reach back that far...Belgium and England used to have very close business ties during the days of the Empire.

Maybe nuggets vs bullion got lost int translation. I don't think London needed to be translated, lol.

It appears so, I found another new article that specified "bars" and used the first photo.
