‘Once in a lifetime find’: Man finds rock containing 2.6kg of gold in Australia valued at US$160k

Will this spark a 2023 Gold Rush?

The amateur gold prospector, who did not want to be identified according to local media, discovered the 4.6kg rock in Victoria’s “Golden Triangle”.The man was reportedly using a Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector, a budget model that retails for about A$1,200, when he made the discovery.

The man took the rock to gold trader Darren Kamp, a prospecting equipment retailer in Victoria, to have it valued. “He said, ‘Do you think there’s A$10,000 worth?’ And as soon as it hit my hand, I said, ‘try A$100,000’,” Kamp told Australian TV news network 9News.The man then told Kamp that he had actually only brought in half the rock, leaving the other half at home.“I was just gobsmacked... It’s a once in a lifetime find,” said Kamp in a BBC report.
