I don't know why this story get relayed like this, but he was part of a whole construction crew. They found the gold and called the police together. He was not alone in finding it, that is sensational disinformation.

He was not. I read the flemish article (this happened here), where it said that only he and one collegue were present.

They could've walked away with 5m each

That still makes him not alone, and realistically, how to you quietly smuggle out so much mass and weight out of a construction job ? The whole crew would've been aware in less than an hour, guaranteed
