Ghosts get glory for gold nugget found at Trentham's Cool Country Tavern

Ghosts get glory for gold nugget found at Trentham's Cool Country Tavern GHOSTS are being credited for giving the owners of a Central Victorian pub with a gold nugget potentially worth more than $6000.Trentham's Cool Country Tavern owner Tracey Berry discovered the 148g nugget while cleaning out fireplace coals last month.

The find came less than a week after her partner Gavyn Crowley summoned five ghosts a clairvoyant claimed were living at the tavern and asked them for financial help.

Two smaller gold pieces, also believed to have fallen from the brickwork, were found along with the larger nugget."I got the shovel and said: I wonder what this is,'' Ms Berry said.

"We put it under water and it came up gold.Mr Crowley asked the ghosts for help after mounting repair bills at the tavern which changed hands about six months ago.

"One night I had a few sherbets on the couch in front of the fire and I called out to the ghosts - because August's the quietest month of the year - 'give us some money, give us something','' Mr Crowley said.
