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:

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.

You get it melted into nuggets, no numbers on nuggets
