A gold digger in Australia has unearthed a 10-pound rock containing gold estimated to be worth over $130,000. The man had found the rock in a part of Australia called the “Golden Triangle,” which was the heart of Australia's 19th-century gold rush.
Darren Kamp, the owner of the Lucky Strike Gold prospecting shop in southeastern Australia, says the unnamed man brought the rock into his shop at the end of last year asking for it to be valued. When he dropped off the rock, the prospector asked Kamp if he thought there could be $6-thousand worth of gold inside of it.
But once Kamp cleaned it up, he says, "you could see the gold just come oozing out of the rock everywhere.” The expert estimates that the gold in the 10-pound rock weighs about 5.7-pounds, making it worth over $130-thousand. He calls it an “incredible, once-in-a-lifetime find."
