'Grumpy' husband unearths 2.7kg gold nugget

[jakeXT]

A Victorian man is $141, 000 richer thanks to his wife.

Kerang resident Mick Brown had just given up smoking and was in such a bad mood his wife told him to get out of the house to give her some space.

A seasoned prospector, Brown decided to let off some steam by searching a patch of land near Wedderburn.

..

Just 15 centimetres below the surface Brown struck gold, unearthing a 2.7 kilogram nugget.

"I thought, 'bugger me, it is, it's bloody gold," Brown told Fairfax.

1. Cool.

I like watching "Ice Cold Gold" On Animal Planet. They search for gold and gems.

5. That's why I'm poor. I'm not grumpy enough.

In fact, I spend much of my day trying to stay un-grumpy.
