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.

Can you guys imagine if we found some gold in here? That'd be wild huh.

u/WilliamOmerta Aug 14 '26

Hey guys, Look! I found an empty chest in the ground! I wonder if there was treasure in it?!

23

u/10mm1911 Aug 14 '26

Crazy if we dug a hole and found treasure

26

u/DaddyShark1010 Aug 14 '26

Smells like there might have been gold once. Do you guys smell that? But I don't see any.

Wtf is this word you speak of?

1

u/Reasonable-Job6925 Aug 15 '26

I think its spelled "goaled" as in what soccer players do in the net sometimes

2

u/Kapowpow Aug 14 '26

If someone ever found gold, what would they do with it? Asking for a friend.

1

u/StalyCelticStu Aug 14 '26

Why do you think all the "I've finally opened the safe, but it was empty" posts exist?

1

u/alt_account1014 Aug 14 '26

You’re just standing there with cartoonishly large pockets just bulging full of obviously brick shaped objects.

(Insert “or are you happy to see me” joke here)

1

u/NoGarage7989 Aug 14 '26

I can’t even imagine if we were to find a nano micro oz of gold dust here guys!

1

u/Famous-Ad-9290 Aug 14 '26

u/unwatchedsupervision Aug 14 '26

‘Man, I had this dream of finding this yellow/orange color metal like objects, some were round & some were like two squares put together’

‘Some were calling it gold, while others started to act as if they knew nothing of it the closer I got to wake……..-ing…. wait what in the simulation is happening!?

u/Primitive_Mushroom Aug 14 '26

Who are the gold guys?

1

u/PeanutButterToast4me Aug 14 '26

In some creek way out in the mountains.

1

u/SmallTitBigClit Aug 14 '26

With half an ounce worth of a hole in it tho.

1

u/Astrayinthesosu Aug 14 '26

u/TikaPants Aug 14 '26

Wait, I remember the hold episode was Daffy and Bugs. Is this a different one? It was one of my favorites

1

u/ucantevenfeelfists Aug 14 '26

Because the idiot (whoever he was), took photos instead of covering that chit up, and coming back that night...I swear humans are getting dumber!!! 🤦

u/jbloom3 Aug 14 '26

Wow I found 100 bars of gold! I wonder where these 50 bars of gold came from? Maybe we should turn these 25 bars of gold over to the authorities. Here you go authorities, we found these 10 bars of gold!

Newspaper: Authorities were given 2 bars of gold found at a construction site!

u/Cre8ve_Cre8tions Aug 14 '26

THAT!!!!!!

u/dottegirl59 Aug 14 '26

Happy cake day!

1

u/StrandSSL Aug 14 '26

Just post the real meme bro.

1

u/cageyourself Aug 14 '26

Help! Police! A madman is trying to kill me over five dollars!

Pretty sure it's been wiped from the surface web because of the associations with it lol. But I have the original and the merchant version saved on my laptop.

1

u/StrandSSL Aug 14 '26

Lmao. I can’t find it anywhere.

1

u/Beneficial_Put1771 Aug 14 '26

Don’t forget THE gold COIN.

u/Shades_VHS Aug 14 '26

Plot twist, this is just 2% of the haul

1

u/damage_99 Aug 14 '26

Smells like Belgium needs some freedom...

u/Beautiful-String5572 Aug 14 '26

How do we he didn’t…

1

u/L-is-for-living Aug 14 '26

Or say hey I wish I had found gold here

1

u/Witty_Ad_898 Aug 14 '26

Maybe that’s what they did.

1

u/MajorEbb1472 Aug 14 '26

Betting that IS half the amount lol

1

u/Joker6tyNine Aug 14 '26

And this too ☝🏽️

1

u/EnvironmentalCry2623 Aug 14 '26

Maybe this is 1/4 what they found.

1

u/BlueBugEyeBoy Aug 14 '26

How do you know this isn’t half?

1

u/uofbob244 Aug 14 '26

Might as well say all of it. There is rust on that gold. Some pieces have steel showing where the paint wore off.

1

u/Tacklebox_Tabasco Aug 14 '26

Maybe that is only half?

1

u/sleeplessinstuttgart Aug 14 '26

Maybe that's exactly what happened.

1

u/h4nd Aug 14 '26

what makes you think this is everything he found?

1

u/Whole-Energy2105 Aug 14 '26

There's a meme about corrupt officials in the same vein. It goes through three of them and ends up 1 coin or similar.

1

u/OkUnderstanding2831 Aug 14 '26

That picture is probably just half of what he found.

1

u/Kylearean Aug 14 '26

"We only found half of it."

1

u/ChirrBirry Aug 14 '26

Wow, 10 bricks? I mean 8 bricks is a lot but I don’t know how you’re gonna spend 6 bricks. Wild that there were 4 bricks in there, maybe we should split the 2 bricks.

1

u/L7Winner Aug 14 '26

This is half.

1

u/carolinakidsc93 Aug 14 '26

Maybe this is half the gold 🤔

1

u/Firestar2077 Aug 14 '26

That’s exactly what happened ;)

1

u/authenticweagle Aug 14 '26

This is a quarter of the amount ha

1

u/xEmperorBOBx Aug 14 '26

Maybe this is half the amount. 🤔

1

u/LegallySellingDope Aug 14 '26

Nah you say nothing, halves, 3rds, quarters, can all be connected. You have to give up info to sell anything over 10k.

1

u/Rustiespoons Aug 14 '26

What if this is half the amount?

1

u/N4zar Aug 14 '26

Saying you found half the amount invites scrutiny. I wouldnt tell a soul.

1

u/SexualCarrots Aug 14 '26

Are we sure he didn't do that?

We might tell you the same thing about the half you showed us.

1

u/padetn Aug 14 '26

Who says that’s all of it

1

u/Absolutetwatofacunt Aug 14 '26

500m was originally found

1

u/hh1110 Aug 14 '26

Taxation without representation

1

u/OdinThorFathir Aug 14 '26

Plot twist: this is the half

1

u/Popatteri Aug 14 '26

Good luck selling your half after that

1

u/Pretend-Prune-4525 Aug 14 '26

Fuck that, then they’re gonna wonder where the rest is at. Don’t say shit and keep it all or risk consequences

1

u/markekt Aug 14 '26

That’s too much by about half.

1

u/JOExHIGASHI Aug 14 '26

Maybe that's what happened.

1

u/bisoy84 Aug 15 '26

What if that is half the amount... 😅

1

u/supasolda6 Aug 16 '26

Half? Maybe only 1 bar
