[BBC] An Australian man has unearthed a 1.4kg (49oz) gold nugget with a metal detector while wandering Western Australia's gold fields, say locals.A shop in Kalgoorlie shared pictures of the rock online, estimated to be worth A$100,000 (£54,000; $69,000).
The unidentified man was an experienced local hobbyist, shop owner Matt Cook, told the BBC.
Finds of this scale by prospectors are known to happen a few times a year, experts say.
About three-quarters of the gold mined in Australia is produced in and around the Kalgoorlie region.
