Review:
The Golden Nugget Hand of Faith is the world’s second-largest gold nugget, displayed in the aptly named Golden Nugget casino. This incredibly rare piece of history was discovered in 1980 by Kevin Hillier in the small town of Wedderburn, Australia. He ventured out on a beautiful spring day to do some exploring with his trusty metal detector and to his utter shock he managed to find this 875-troy-ounce, 61-pound mass of gold just six inches below the ground. After a thrilling press conference and an array of accolades, Hillier sold the gold nugget to the Golden Nugget casino, where it still resides today in a hallway near the lobby.
