A resident of the Australian state of Victoria, using a budget metal detector, found a 4.6 kg ingot in the “golden triangle”. It contains 2.6 kg of gold. NCA NewsWire writes about it.
It has been said that the “golden triangle of Victoria” is the area between Ballarat, Bendigo and Saint-Arno.
The man took the rock to Lucky Strike Gold’s Geelong office for analysis. And there it was known that he had found a real treasure.
“He took this rock out of his backpack and threw it in my hand and said, ‘Do you think it’s worth $10,000?’ those things that change lives. “When he threw it in my hand, my jaw dropped,” the expert said.
According to him, this is the biggest nugget he has ever seen. The cost of the stone is about 240 thousand dollars.
“If you asked me a few years ago, I would have said that the average age for this hobby is 50 years and older. But now we see a lot of people in their 20s and 30s doing it,” added expert.
