At first glance the small lump in the earth looked like worthless scrap.

On closer examination, the prospector guessed it was the tip of an old horseshoe.

"I really couldn't believe my eyes," said the prospector, who wanted to remain anonymous. "It's like catching a big fish and not knowing what to do with it. Where do we put it? I washed it in water, covered it in aluminum foil, and kept it in my oven on the first night."

The hobbyist found the "colossal" nugget while scouring Victoria's Golden Triangle on Friday. ...
