Scout's discovery, maybe (6)
I believe the answer is:
talent
'scout's discovery maybe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for talent that I've seen before include "Natural ability or quality" , "gift > of Attic gold" , "Inborn ability or facility" , "Unit of currency" , "Special or very great ability" .)
