Meet David Hole, the Australian who spent years trying to crack open a stubborn red rock with everything short of a lightsaber because he was 100 % convinced he’d struck gold. Plot twist: after attacking it with saws, acid, and a sledgehammer like a man possessed, he finally learned it was a 4.6-billion-year-old meteorite. Moral of the story: sometimes the universe yeets literal space treasure at you and you still try to turn it into a doorstop.
Man Keeps Rock For Years, Hoping It’s Gold. It Turned Out to Be Way More Valuable.
