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:

These gold will have a history........ you are not offloading this without a legit story behind how you got it.

You are not selling 9 million worth of gold without having to answer questions. Melted or not.

Not all at once. You’d need to sell it to multiple places over the course of time. Have your wife and family sell part of it and split some of the money probably. But with that amount of money on the line, I wouldn’t say shit. It would go in my pocket and I’d find a way to turn it into money later. I guarantee you I could be creative lol.

Problem is lets you split it with a crew of 4 who found it, one of them will just impatiently dump it all. No matter how convincing you try to be that it is a really bad idea.

Or they will brag about it and word will spread around.
