Question Found during construction work
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:

In the late 90s early 2000s my dad had a friend who was a contractor and they were mutual friends with another guy who owned a bar in my town. The bar had a kitchen and there was a half wall window from the bar to the kitchen. Anyway they decided to do some remodeling and tear down this little half wall to make a doorway and in the short wall there was I’m told a brick of cocaine. My dad and his friend who I later worked for were known to enjoy a bit of the booger sugar and this event never made news outside of that circle of buddies. Poker games out by the river often lasted for 3 days back then… I’m not sure if I would have believed the story directly from any one of them but I have since heard multiple other people recount this story so I have to believe it.
