A gold nugget weighing more than four kilograms has been found in Victoria.
近日，维多利亚州发现了一块重量超过四公斤的金块。
According to metal detecting manufacturer Minelab, the discovery was made in a worked-over area on the southern edge of central Victoria's Golden Triangle.
根据金属探测器制造商觅宝公司报道，这一发现的地点是在维多利亚州金三角中心南部边缘的工作区。
It said the 145-ounce nugget, named Friday's Joy, could be worth up to $250,000.
据悉，这块重达145盎司、被命名为“星期五的欢乐”的天然金块价值高达25万美元。

The lucky prospector, who has chosen to remain anonymous, said he found the nugget 12 inches below the ground.
而该名幸运的勘探者并不愿透露姓名，只是表示自己是在地下12英尺发现的这块黄金。
"I thought it was rubbish at first, maybe an old horseshoe", he said. "As I began to scrape away the clay and dig deeper, I really couldn't believe my eyes - this wasn't an old piece of steel in front of me."
他说：“我起初以为它是垃圾，或者是旧的马蹄铁。随着我刮开土层，挖得更深，我简直不敢相信我的眼睛，在我面前的并不是一块废铁。”
Minelab said the prospector, who has used his weekends to search for gold and coins for the past 10 years, found a 9-ounce nugget the day before.
觅宝公司表示，这名勘探者在过去的10年里会利用周末寻找金子和钱币，而且就在一天前还发现了一块9盎司重的金块。
Rita Bentley from the Prospectors and Miners Association said the more recent find had caused excited around the world, and that many Victorian locals would be heading out into the bush.
来自勘探者和矿工协会的丽塔·本特利表示，这些较新的发现令全世界为之激动，很多维多利亚州本地人将会前往丛林中。
"There'll be a lot of detectors dusted off that have been sitting in cupboards," she said. "I imagine there'll be a mini gold rush going on."
她说：“原本一直被放在橱柜里的许多金属探测器，将会被重新利用起来。我想这里将会有一场小的淘金热出现。”
The man said he planned to buy a van and travel around Australia after the finds. The nugget is being kept in a safe and a replica will be made.
在发现金块之后，这名勘探者表示自己计划买一辆面包车环游澳大利亚。而该金块则被保存在了一个安全的地方，并会制造出一个仿制品。
