A gold nugget is a naturally occurring piece of native gold. The largest gold nugget ever found was the "Welcome Stranger Nugget", discovered by John Deason and Richard Oates at Moliagul, Victoria, Australia on February 5, 1869. It weighed 2316 troy ounces or 72.04 kg. It is the largest alluvial gold find in the world.
It is bigger than the "Welcome Nugget" at 2217 ounces (68.96 kg) found in Ballarat in 1858. The largest gold nugget in existence is the Hand of Faith, found by Kevin Hillier in Victoria in 1980.
