An Australian family who were having money troubles have found a 624-gramme gold nugget worth £20,000 on the beach.

一個陷入經濟困境的澳大利亞家庭在海灘上發現了一塊624克重的金塊,價值2萬英鎊。

A father-of-two was walking with his daughters and dog on the outskirts of Bendigo, Victoria, when they made the discovery.

兩個孩子的父親帶著女兒和狗在維多利亞州本迪戈郊區散步時發現了這一情況。

The man, who wants to stay anonymous, told the Bendigo Advertiser: "I actually walked right past it but my daughter pretty much kicked it as she was walking.

這名不願透露姓名的男子告訴《本迪戈廣告報》:「我正好經過了它,但我女兒走路的時候踢到了它。

"She then goes - dad, is this gold? I said, I think it might be."

「然後她問我『爸爸,這是金子嗎?』我說,我想可能是吧。」

He headed to the supermarket to weigh the gold and it came in at 624 grammes, or 20 ounces.

他去超市稱了這些黃金的重量,得到的重量是624克,也就是20盎司。

"We"ve come on some tough times so it"s really good because we"ve been struggling financially. It couldn"t be better timing really," said the man.

「我們經歷了一些困難時期,所以真的很幸運,因為我們財務上一直很緊張。真是再好不過的時機了。」

Experts have verified Sunday"s find as genuine and say it is worth around A$35,000 (£20,000).

專家們已經證實了周日的發現是真的,並稱其價值約為3.5萬澳元(合2萬英鎊)。

"Just having it at home, I"ve been like where do we store it? I haven"t been sleeping very well and we think it"s best just to sell it," he told the Bendigo Advertiser.

「就放在了家裡,我一直在想,我們應該把它存在哪裡?我一直睡不好,我們認為最好還是把它賣掉。」

They haven"t sold the gold yet but the man says his family will be heading back to the same spot to try their luck again.

他們還沒有賣掉黃金,但這名男子表示,他們一家人打算回到那個地方,再碰碰運氣。」

"Usually when you find a nugget that big, there will be more gold around so hopefully that"s the case," he said.

「通常在發現這麼大一塊金塊時,周圍會有更多的黃金,所以希望情況就是這樣。」他說。

In September last year, an even larger nugget containing more than 2kg of gold was unearthed by a man using a metal detector in Western Australia.

去年9月,一名男子用金屬探測器在澳大利亞西部發現了一塊更大的金塊,裡面含有超過2公斤的黃金。

That find nicknamed the "duck"s foot" because of its shape was estimated to be worth A$110,000 (£59,000).

這個金塊因其形狀被戲稱為「鴨掌」,估價為11萬澳元(合5.9萬英鎊)。
