Amateur Australian gold digger finds massive nugget
By Tiffanie TurnbullBBC News, Sydney
An Australian man armed with a budget metal detector has hit The Jackpot , finding a 4. 6kg rock containing gold worth A$240,000 (£130,000; $160,000).
The Man , who doesn't want to be named, made The Discovery in Victoria's goldfields - which were The Heart of Australia's Gold Rush in the 1800s.
Darren Kamp, who valued and bought the specimen, said it is the biggest he's seen in his 43-year career.
" I was just gobsmacked. . It's a once in a lifetime find, " he told The Bbc .
Mr Kamp hadn't thought too much of it when A Man wearing a large backpack walked into his prospecting store in Geelong, about an hour south-west of Melbourne. Normally people come in with fools gold or other rocks that look like gold, Mr Kamp says.
" But he pulled this rock out and as he dropped it into my hand He Said , 'Do you think there's A$10,000 worth in it?'"
" I looked at him and said, 'Try A$100,000'. "
The Man then proceeded to tell him The Rock in Mr Kamp's hand was only half The Find .
All up, the 4. 6kg rock contained 83 ounces - or about 2. 6kg - of gold.
After having it valued, Mr Kamp bought it off him.
He says the Lucky Man is Looking Forward to spending The Windfall on His Family : " He Said to me, 'Oh The Wife will be happy'. "
While discoveries like this are rare, Australia is estimated to have The World 's largest gold reserves and many of The World 's biggest nuggets were found in Australia.
