Previously earning around $13 a day, the fisherman is set to net a whopping $320,000 thanks to his chance find. In 2016 three friends fishing off the coast of Qurayat in Oman struck gold after finding a large lump of the stuff, which was valued at nearly $3 million.
If I kept a whale in my pool, and fed it my mother in law's cooking, I would make a fortune?
