A16 year-old teenager has found a 500-gram (17.6-ounce) bar of gold while swimming in a lake in the German Alps.

Actual real gold, which beats the shopping trolleys and other rubbish you usually see in lakes, that’s for sure.

Police said they are still trying to figure out where the bar comes from and how it got into the Koenigssee lake, a popular tourist destination near Berchtesgaden on the border with Austria.

The 16-year-old girl, who was on her holidays, found it around 2 meters (6 feet) under the surface on Friday and handed it in to police.
