Prospector discovers 4.6kg nugget using metal detector as gold prices near global record highs

More than 170 years since Australia’s gold rush ended, one man has unearthed a nugget worth almost $250,000 in Victoria’s goldfields.

The man found the 4.6kg gold rock using an amateur metal detector in Victoria’s “golden triangle” between Bendigo, Ballarat and St Arnaud.
