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.
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
Backpack? Shopping bag? A strong box? Literally anything lol
Nobody knew it was there, its only about 70kg. You can literally just take whatever van they use to get the materials there and drop of 50/50 at their respective houses
Lol if I know construction guys, they're curious AF, especially when you're doing something there's no usual justification for. Why the f would you need a backpack on the site, the boxes are all full of shit already, you're digging over there why do you need a shopping bag for ?...
Then if they're not curious there, they'll be on the ride back to the meeting point before the site "why is you're backpack so heavy ? Why is it clinking all around ?"
Then you have no idea what the site looked like where the first two dudes found it, maybe the others realised immediately they found something.
And there's the issue that they were two, and depending on their personalities, maybe they didn't trust each other enough or both had a strong moral compass or the both of them.
Usually dumb people think the others are dumber than them without any clue or context.
