Million dollar baby

This gold nugget is named “Hand of Faith.” It’s the size of a baby, and it weighs almost 62 pounds.

 

It was found in 1980 by a guy in Australia with a metal detector, who reportedly almost didn’t bother to dig it up because he thought that his machine was faulty.

 

Hand of Faith was only six inches below the surface. The Golden Nugget hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, bought it for a million dollars. It's worth today has been set at $1.5 million.
