A lucrative gold discovery was made Down Under by keen metal detectorists Brent Shannon and Ethan West near Tarnagulla, Victoria.

The brothers-in-law unearthed two nuggets, which had a combined weight of 7.7lb (3.5kg). Experts estimated the gold had a value of AU$350,000 ($246k/£186k) – the equivalent of around $298,000 (£239k) in 2025 money. Shannon and West were featured on the TV show Aussie Gold Hunters in August 2020.
