The nugget was found 15cm below ground in the Charters Towers area of North Queensland by a man using a Minelab GPX 5000 detector.
The life-changing find came after the prospector saw a double rainbow near his campy the day before and decided to search under the highest point of the arc.

‘I said to myself that’s where we’re going to find gold tomorrow but I never thought it would be so much,’ said the Queenslander, who asked not to be named.
