In 2015, a man named David Hole conducted a gold search in Maryborough Regional Park, Australia. By utilizing a metal detector, Hole discovered a red-colored stone with significant weight, hidden in yellow clay soil. He believed that the stone contained gold.
Hole tried various techniques, such as drilling, angle grinding, and stone sawing, to open his discovery. He even tried pouring acid on the object. However, the stone remained intact and undamaged even after being hammered with a sledgehammer.\u00a0
A few years later, it was revealed that Hole's discovery was actually a rare meteorite stone.
Unable to open the stone itself, Hole brought the object to the Melbourne Museum for identification. "I have seen many stones that people consider to be meteorites," said Henry to Channel 10 News. Henry has worked at the museum for 37 years and examined thousands of stones, and he found that only two of those thousands of stones were truly meteorites.

Although Hole initially considered it as gold, it turns out that this meteorite has a higher value in the scientific context. There have only been 17 meteorites recorded in the state of Victoria, and this meteorite is the second largest after a specimen weighing 55 kilograms that was identified in 2003.
