On display in a casino, a honking big chunk of gold -- except that it's a replica. Looks real enough for those of us who are not gold nugget experts.

World's Largest Gold Nugget

Not to ruin everyone's good time, but I'm nearly certain that this is a replica -- and poor one at that. You don't have to look too closely to see paint drips.

Hand Of Faith Nugget

Located inside the Golden Nugget Casino is the largest gold nugget on public display. Found in Wedderburn, Australia in October 1980 by a lucky fella and his trusty metal detector lying 6 inches below the surface. Second largest nugget ever found, weighing a mighty 61 pounds and 11 oz. Sold to the casino for a reported million dollars.
