Giant Gold Nugget Worth $160,000 Found in Australia
An amateur gold digger has found an enormous gold nugget worth 240,000 AUD ($160,000) in Australia.
Discovered in the state of Victoria in an area known as the "Golden Triangle," the gold-filled rock weighs 4.6 kilograms (10.1 pounds), with the precious metal making up 2.6 kilograms (5.7 pounds).
Named the "Lucky Strike Nugget," the gold specimen was taken to prospecting shop Lucky Strike Gold toward the end of last year and dropped into the hands of shop owner Darren Kamp, who valued it.
"When it hit my hand, my jaw dropped with it," Kamp said on Tuesday. "It was just incredible. Once-in-a-lifetime find."
The man who found the rock initially only took half of it to be valued and asked Kamp if there could be 10,000 AUD ($6,675) worth of gold in it.
The rock was very dirty so the spotter, who does not want to be named, could not see the gold on the outside of it, and he cracked it into two because he thought there would be a gold nugget inside, said Kamp.
Once it was cleaned up, "you could see the gold just come oozing out of the rock everywhere," he said.
'Well worth looking' for gold
The prospector used a Minelab Equinox 800 detector costing 1,200 AUD ($800), Kamp said.
"It just proves that a 1,200-dollar machine can find gold," added Kamp, who said his shop has been selling more detectors recently, likely because interest rates are going up and people are looking for ways to supplement their income.
The largest gold specimen Kamp has found was a 24-ounce piece, which now would be worth around 70,000 AUD ($46,753). He said that about 10 years ago, his friend found a 600-ounce gold nugget.
One gram (0.035 ounces) of gold currently costs about 94 AUD ($63). "It's well worth looking for," said Kamp. "You only need two little bits and there's 200 (Australian) dollars basically."
In 2020, gold diggers in southern Australia found two huge nuggets worth 350,000 AUD ($250,000) in historic goldfields.
In 2013, an amateur explorer discovered one worth at least $300,000.
The discovery of rich gold deposits in the Ballarat and Bendigo regions of Victoria in 1851 led to a series of gold rushes in Australia in the 1850s.
It was common for fortune seekers to find enormous nuggets, with the largest being the "Holtermann Nugget," which weighed more than 200 pounds.

This drawing is based off a dream I had. It involves chip and dale from Rescue Rangers. They get a map from fighting, and it gives them powers they'll later discover. They also get get magic bird powers. Chip gets the phoenix and Dale gets the corrupted bird, since he's getting jealous of Dale getting to be the leader, when Dale isn't taken it serious. The map has fill out the blank spots that Dale keeps trying to, but something stops him. For Chip to brake his curse, he has to let go of his jealous of Dale and have them work together. Chip was told this, by fortune teller  for saw the corrupts on him. Ones the two brothers work together, the map will disappear.
Chip and Dale belong to Disney

The moon cast its pale light on the ancient tomb, as two rival treasure hunters raced towards it, their hearts pounding with excitement and danger. They both desired the long-lost artifact hidden within, an object of power that could change their lives forever. But little did they know, the tomb held secrets far more dangerous than they ever imagined.

That Golden Glint of Glory
AKA, that Wild West Outer Banks AU I was talking about.
For the record I think this is a fascinating period in history, will not be glorifying and jumping over the egregious racism and many other issues of the day, but it was also an incredibly tolerant and multi-ethnic setting and I think people tend to forget that. Cowboys were Mexican. Many cowboys and frontiersmen were gay. Prostitution was normal. There were whole Black towns and black regiments of the military. Many people traded and integrated peacefully with indigenous groups. I think that deserves some recognition! So both will be present, because there's some really interesting dynamics at play in this era. I hope you like it!

Grades 5-8: Treasure Hunters by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein
“The Kidd siblings have grown up diving down to shipwrecks and traveling the world, helping their famous parents recover everything from swords to gold doubloons from the bottom of the ocean. But after their parents disappear on the job, the kids are suddenly thrust into the biggest treasure hunt of their lives. They’ll have to work together to defeat dangerous pirates and dodge the hot pursuit of an evil treasure hunting rival, all while following cryptic clues to unravel the mystery of what really happened to their parents,” (TH, 2013).
Grades 9-12: A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer
“When cholera decimates a village in Mozambique, a muvuki (traditional healer) identifies the cause of the illness as the work of an ngozi (avenging spirit) who had been slain by the orphan Nhamo’s father. The muvuki decrees that Nhamo must marry the ngozi’s surviving brother – a diseased and brutal man. Urged by her grandmother, Nhamo runs away, in hopes of finding her father’s family in Zimbabwe. The two- or three-day boat trip, however, turns into a months-long odyssey through wilderness, where Nhamo must call upon all the skills she has ever learned in order to stay alive,” (AGND, 1996).
