HAND OF FAITH

Do want to see one of the world’s largest golden nuggets?

​

You are able to see it in Fremont at downtown Las Vegas.

​

The Hand of Faith Golden Nugget is owned by the Golden Nugget Casino and is currently on display near the casino’s lobby for everyone to see. 

​

The nugget is 27.21kg (about 61 lbs) of pure gold and measures 18.5 x 8 x 3.5 inches (47 x 20 x 9 cm).

​

It was found in Australia in September 1980 by a man named Kevin Hillier.

​

He and his wife were each walking with their metal detectors when they found the nugget.

​

The Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas bought the nugget from the Hillier family for the impressive sum of 1 million USD and put it on display for the world to see.
