Mr. Br.’s 4-year-old daughter was walking with her pet dog when suddenly the dog stopped and started barking incessantly. In the distance, the little girl saw a strange object that looked like a lump of natural gold.

An anonymous father recounted his daughter’s fortunate “reunion” with the greatest blessing in their family.
One day in October, while walking his two pet dogs, Mr. Br.’s four-year-old daughter suddenly spotted a strange yellow stone at the base of a tree. She immediately ran over, picked up the stone, and gave it to her father.
“My wife said she didn’t want to go out, so it was just me, my daughter, and our two dogs for a walk. I walked past the gold nugget without realizing it, but my daughter accidentally kicked it,” the man recounted the story.
Without paying much attention to the stone, Mr. Br. instinctively stuffed it into his jacket pocket. Back home, his golden retriever once again ran up to the jacket and barked incessantly. Curious, Mr. Br. took the mud-covered stone to the tap and washed it clean.

After the mud was washed away, the strange rock formation was actually a giant block of gold (Illustrative image).
Surprisingly, when the mud washed away, Br. had a lump of natural gold in his hand. Br. and his two daughters took the gold to a nearby supermarket to have it weighed, but the staff there seemed annoyed.
Br. then took the gold nugget to be appraised, and the experts there estimated the 3.6 kg gold nugget to be worth approximately $365,000!
Br. said his family was facing financial difficulties, so this gold nugget arrived at the perfect time. “We don’t know where to put it in the house. We can’t even sleep well, so it’s best to sell it,” the man said.
Br. added that he seriously plans to return to the spot where the gold nugget was found to see if he can find anything else.
Earlier, in August 2020, brothers Shannon and Ethan were also fortunate enough to find a gold nugget weighing nearly 4kg, estimated to be worth around 9 billion VND, in an area near Targagulla, West Bendigo, Victoria (Australia).
“We pulled the lump of earth out, brought it to the surface, peeled off very thin layers, and then discovered it was gold. We’ve discovered a lot of gold that way. It’s the best way to mine safely,” Ethan said.

Ethan also said that he had unearthed thousands of gold nuggets over the past four years, but this was certainly one of the most significant finds.
Brent, on the other hand, expressed indescribable emotions upon discovering such a large gold nugget. He described it as a “feeling unlike anything else.”
“No one else had discovered such large gold nuggets; we were the first to find them. That’s something we’re very proud of,” Brent said happily.
The two brothers, along with their father, could even receive more than 30% of the estimated amount if they sold the gold nugget to a collector.
