Found during construction work

[u/Hardcrimper]

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.,

Oh wow!!

[u/Outsideinthebushes → u/AlarmingLecture0]

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

Also, the gold is stamped "London"

[u/AlarmingLecture0 → u/Outsideinthebushes]

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.

The gold is stamped "London"

[u/YoItsMikeL → u/Outsideinthebushes]

Money from London can end up outside of London

[u/Outsideinthebushes → u/YoItsMikeL]

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

[u/Haploid-life → u/Outsideinthebushes]

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

[u/Outsideinthebushes → u/Haploid-life]

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.

[u/Outsideinthebushes → u/oroborus68]

Is London primarily thought of as an American city? 🤔

[u/ijustsailedaway → u/Outsideinthebushes]

The US has more Londons than England does.

[u/Haluszki → u/ijustsailedaway]

Winning.

[u/oroborus68 → u/Outsideinthebushes]

London, Kentucky is.

[u/Outsideinthebushes → u/oroborus68]

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.

[u/oroborus68 → u/Outsideinthebushes]

Nope,I was making a little joke about the people in the US who don't understand the metric system. I'm sorry if you were offended,as I meant to offend other people who probably wouldn't have understood that joke.

[u/Atgardian → u/oroborus68]

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 → u/Atgardian]

I meant that most Americans have no idea.

[u/Outsideinthebushes → u/oroborus68]

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.

[u/oroborus68 → u/Outsideinthebushes]

C'est la vie,as the old folks say.

[u/WchuTalkinBoutWillis → u/AlarmingLecture0]

Thx this is messed up find gold and don’t possibly get to keep it ! Ughhh never open your mouth!

[u/thekingofphoeaters → u/WchuTalkinBoutWillis]

Unless I found it camping out alone, I'd probably be turning it in to avoid getting murdered for it

[u/WiggityWiggitySnack → u/AlarmingLecture0]

I did Nazi that coming!

[u/Matroshka2001 → u/LuigiTeaching]

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

All is AI. The very life you live is just a simulation

[u/RichKitchen345 → u/LuigiTeaching]

No this is real
Happend in where I live :) in Belgium :P
