Last week, an Australian prospector made an awesome discovery, a 12-pound gold nugget buried under two feet of dirt.

According to Courier Mail, an Australian news site:

The nugget could be worth more than $300,000 and was found with a state of the art metal detector called a Minelab GPX-5000.

Sounds like a great reason to buy a metal detector to us.
