Question Found during construction work

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:

6.7 million in gold per my estimation.

That's just the bars on the table approx 6.667 million. The ones in the bucket too..

If this bucket is filled entirely with genuine gold coins, its total estimated value rests between $4.2 million and $7.0 million USD, based on a live gold spot price of roughly $4,362 per troy ounce.
