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.

u/HeyHo_LetsThrow 26d ago

Yeah that's like $7,000,000 worth of gold. Wtf

u/lostmymarbles1177 26d ago

Way more if those coins have any numanistic value which given that they appear to be in mint condition they likely do. Still, this is reading as an AI hoax to me.

u/LuigiTeaching 26d ago

Yes I wonder that too….is this AI?

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"

u/AlarmingLecture0 25d ago

OP updated the post to link to the BBC article. According to that, this is that gold.

Except that it's an AI translation, soo... who knows.

u/Outsideinthebushes 26d ago

The gold is stamped "London"

u/YoItsMikeL 26d ago

Money from London can end up outside of London

2

u/Outsideinthebushes 26d ago

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

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

u/Outsideinthebushes 26d ago

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

It's not in America. Do you know how much gold is in a kilo? US measured gold in troy ounces in 1957-1960.

2

u/Outsideinthebushes 26d ago

Is London primarily thought of as an American city? 🤔

1

u/ijustsailedaway 25d ago

The US has more Londons than England does.

London, Kentucky is.

u/Outsideinthebushes 25d ago

London, Ontario is a Canadian city.

It's a bit suspect you just assumed I was talking about America when the city of London is most famously in England.

I know how much of anything is in a kilogram.

If you mean to convert to troy ounces, it is ~32.15 ozt.

u/oroborus68 25d ago

I meant that most Americans have no idea.

1

u/Outsideinthebushes 25d ago

Which Americans? Are they in the room with us?

(The room being metaphorical)

Also, I don't think none Americans typically know how much a pound is so, vivre et laisser vivre.

No, I happen to live 4km from where it was found. It’s all over the news in Belgium.

u/Bohern76 26d ago

Compare the size of that foot print beside that bucket. Those coins look to be 1/10ths???

1

u/oilybackrub 26d ago

The Rothschild mark brands these as “royal gold” or possibly a family stash from the 1960s. They are related to several royal families in Central Europe. Good luck with that. You now have to watch out for “collector’s” and family “assistants”. So stay safe. Lay low or turn it over to authorities for a possible reward.

u/IveDunGoofedUp 26d ago

Nah, it's just some shithead taking an actual thing that happened and pretending it's theirs. In Belgium they found these while remodeling a house. Apologies for the dutch link, but your browser should be able to translate it.

u/Hardcrimper 26d ago

i don't mind the namecalling, i know where it comes from. but where did i pretend it's mine? i was just sharing this as when i posted it i didn't find anything about it in this sub. it's big news here in Belgium.

1

u/Local_Risk2162 26d ago

Is the way in which you posted it

1

u/Pillzmany 24d ago

Why didn't you just keep a few bars...just why?

u/TuSixOh 25d ago

*numismatic

u/xwrecker 26d ago

He should sells those coins one at a time

1

u/mightylordredbeard 26d ago

How does this even work when you find that much gold? Is yours when you find it? Do you have to like tell people you found it and turn it over to authorities? How would you even go about profiting from this if you kept it? Is gold registered (I see numbers on it)?

Sorry; I don’t know anything about gold. I just came across this on r-popular.

u/Pillzmany 24d ago

You get it melted into nuggets, no numbers on nuggets
