If you were to find £/$1M stashed away in an unusual place, would you see this as a blessing or test from God?

Test.
Money hidden in that way could have been (or was probably) obtained illegally.
Either way, it would not be mine to have and I would report it to the police.

I would not consider it a test or a blessing. I would simply consider it someone else’s money and turn it into the police.

Contact the police immediately. Using it is stealing, pure and simple. No way around it.

Depends on how it was stashed, where it was located, and if it was cash or not.

I agree, you should turn it in to police.
You would have more to explain about how YOU got the money, if your bank accounts were audited for unusual activity.
If you found money, it might be counterfeit or otherwise stolen. You’re much better off turning it in to police.

I would assume the money is not mind and report it to the relevant authority. I would not suppose God had any direct action in regard to it at all, since the first place to look for an explanation of natural phenomena is for natural causes, such as a mistake or even criminal activity on the part of a human being.

I’ll admit, my initial reaction would be: I’M RICH!!! XD
Then again, the posters are actually right. One must keep a level head during such situations and report it to the police. So yeah, I guess it’s a test from God.
On the other hand, if it turns out that nobody owns the money and you may actually stumbled on somebody’s long lost treasure hoard… then, yay?

I wouldn’t think of it as a blessing or as a test from God. I would think it should go back to the owner. Otherwise you could be guilty of theft, and of committing a mortal sin so that you become a lost soul.
I would report it to the police too. I also think such a person would be legaly obligated to give it to the police, and not only report it… I believe though that according to U.S.law that if the owner does not come forward, it would belong to the finder. And so before turning it over to the police, I would talk with a lawyer.
A previous poster is correct about taking into account the circumstances. Several years ago someone the the Southwest U.S., I believe, found a bag with hundreds of thousands of dollars with a gun on top in the bag. The police advised him not to claim the money at all, apparently because it could have been money from the sale of drugs, perhaps, and he would have been the target of the criminals whose money was in the bag.
I also recall that a bag of a bank’s money fell onto the street from an armored car. That is another situation entirely, and since the bag had the bank’s name on it, clearly it should have gone straight back to the bank.
