If you're going to Australia, you could find one gold nugget that would pay

There were gold fields not too far away from where I'll be settling. But
of much greater interest would be caches of coins buried by bushrangers
of the mid 1800's. My wife knows the bush as intimately as anyone within
a 100 mile radius. I'm confident we'll uncover a stash or two. She's
found a few coins that are fairly valuable already. They are out there
and not so many people looking for them.

A great book for anyone seeking hidden/lost treasure is "Treasure
Hunter's Manual" by Karl von Mueller.
