I've lost coins and found coins but this was impressive.

Nope, sadly. That guy just got a stinkpile of free advertising. Who knows what the workmanship is like but it sure speaks well to his character.

I'm left baffled how someone would stop looking for a kg of gold that they misplaced? Is this Scrooge McDuck's house and it just overflowed from the pool full of gold coins and jewels?

Wonder if it would have been returned if it was just one guy on site who found it? Can never trust the other guy to keep his mouth shut...

No mention of any finder's fee either!!

All I ever find is mouse crap.
I keep hoping one day I'll find a dozen lee enfields behind a wall that someone stashed when they were $4 a piece.

They were renovating an occupied building the way I understand it, so it would hardly be " finders keepers" anymore them if it was in a closet they were ripping apart .
Finders fee? It was misplaced , not off the property

Your post made me think of some old Mafia sayings:

"The only way two men can keep a secret is if one of them is dead."

or...

"Dead men tell no tales."
