The pair of nuggets weigh in at a combined 3.5 kilograms and were found on the same day near Tarnagulla in Victoria state, as shown on Thursday's episode of"Aussie Gold Hunters" on the Discovery Channel.Prospectors Brent Shannon and his brother-in-law Ethan West found the nuggets in a matter of hours with the help of West's father Paul West, according to a Discovery Channel press release.The nuggets have been valued at $250,000 USD.
West said he estimates he has collected thousands of small pieces of gold in four years."These are definitely one of the most significant finds," he said."To have two large chunks in one day is quite amazing."The team -- who call themselves the Poseidon Crew -- told Sunrise that they use an excavator to dig up dirt, before using a metal detector to see if there is any gold to be found.
