'in digs?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'is enough gold being newly' is the wordplay.
'being newly' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'enough'+'gold'='isenoughgold'
'isenoughgold' with letters rearranged gives 'LODGING HOUSE'.

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lodging house that I've seen is " Temporary accommodation".)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
