A young girl has stumbled across a gold nugget, estimated to be worth more than $35,000, near Bendigo in Victoria. Experts have since assessed the nugget and confirmed it is gold. On Tuesday the spot gold price was trading around $US1299 per ounce, equivalent to $A1,865, implying a notional value for the nugget of $37,300. The family won't reveal the exact location of the find and is planning to go back in the hope of finding more gold. "Usually, when you find a nugget that big, there will be more gold around so hopefully that's the case," the man said.
