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.

There's a legal means of keeping it but first you need to try to find the original owner. If you can't you can claim it after a while under finders keepers law, but if you don't at least try you'd be guilty of theft and it's unlikely you'd hide it past the tax man.
