‘Nearly walked past it’: Huge $200k gold nugget discovery

An amateur prospector unearthed a 1.2kg gold nugget worth up to $200,000 at Mt Stuart Station near Tibooburra, New South Wales. The finder, who had been searching for days, nearly missed the discovery because his metal detector produced only a faint signal. The nugget, named the Tibooburra Spud, contains approximately 940g of pure gold and was found in mid-October.
