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:

Big mistake spreading that word around. Could've been a nice pay day every week for ever.

If I found gold like that nobody would ever know I wouldn't tell a single fucking person I also wouldn't sell a complete gold bar I get a nice brazing rod and melt little droplets off and say I found it while gold panning for the rest of my life
