Start your adventure with an Australian retiree who found a massive 2-kilogram gold nugget just outside Ballarat, an old gold rush town. Or, explore the Great Victoria region, where one man took home a 4.3-kilogram nugget that experts valued at over $300,000. But those nuggets are just small changes compared to the Hand of Faith nugget, which weighed a whopping 27.2 kilograms and was once displayed at the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas.

Feast your eyes on the Holtermann nugget, which weighed an astounding 290 kilograms and was discovered in Hill End, New South Wales. Or, take a trip to the Kremlin in Moscow and admire the Urals Mountains nugget, which was found in 1842 and remains the second-largest gold nugget still in existence.
But keep your eyes peeled for the two largest nuggets ever found in the Beta Hunt mine in Australia, which weighed over 95 kilograms and are worth over $6.6 million combined. And who knows? A tunnel in Anthony Doolin’s backyard that he discovered in 2018 might just contain the world’s largest gold nugget.
