"People still find gold nuggets in the goldfields, though very seldom lately. Typically, the weight of findings does not exceed a few ounces. Therefore, the recent discovery is indeed a phenomenal luck. " According to the scientist, Australian miners find 2 kilos of gold per ton of rock on average.
