The "Hand of Faith," the largest known gold nugget on display in the world today, still resides at the legendary downtown hotel and casino. Discovered in 1980 near the Golden Triangle in Australia, the gold nugget weighs 61 pounds, 11 ounces, and is worth more than $425,000.
Last month, several smaller gold nuggets from the Golden Nugget's display were auctioned by Bonhams & Butterfields in Los Angeles. Auction items included the "Eagle's Head" nugget, weighing 12 troy ounces, and the "Parrot Head," weighing more than 21 troy ounces.
In 1979, these and several smaller nuggets were leased to the Golden Nugget, where they remained on public display until August 2006. In 1981, the granddaddy nugget of the collection, the "Hand of Faith," was added to the Golden Nugget's display, where it will remain for generations to come.
Currently, the "Hand of Faith" is on display near the Golden Nugget's North Tower lobby. In 2004, a new display area was designed and installed to better present the "Hand of Faith," and continues to be a popular photo spot for visitors.
