Hand of Faith

The Hand of Faith is the largest gold nugget in existence today, found with a hand held metal detector. It currently resides in the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas. Yet the story behind the hand of faith discovery is just as incredible as the nugget itself. In 1978, Kevin Hillier, his wife Bep and four young children left Western Australia to travel the country in an old renovated bus they called ‘Gus’. Led by Bep’s unwavering belief in God and an amazing set of circumstances they found themselves on the Victorian Goldfields several years’ later.
