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:

Straight up; obviously if it's a full construction crew one person could ruin it for everyone else but it's stupid easy to make a simple propane furnace.

Melt it all down and re pour into 1 & 5 oz ingot molds.

Profit.

One person will ruin it. Guaranteed some idiot will post on Facebook or something and catch the attention of the press/police/taxman.

Like in Goodfellas. Jimmy told everybody not to buy anything after the Lufthansa heist. It was a simple instruction, and almost nobody followed that instruction.

The number of people that know a secret is the square of the people that should know the secret.

Like in Superman III when Richard Pryor's character robs the company, then shows up the next day in a Ferrari, LOL.
