- No element in the world can capture our collective imagination like gold. It is the stuff dreams are made of and that dream has come true for one Australian amateur gold hunter.
The massive nugget was found in Victoria, Australia, in the Golden Triangle, home to the country's famous 1850s gold rush. In an interview with BBC News, the owner of the Store, Darren Kamp, said it was the biggest nugget he had ever seen in his 43 years in business.The prospector initially thought the rock might be worth $10,000."I looked at him and said, 'Try $100,000'," he said.
