What was the largest amount of gold ever found in history?

Without a doubt, nothing represents wealth better than gold, especially when we're talking about a 27-kilogram nugget.

Kevin Hillier, a fellow from Australia, had a stroke of great luck. When he found a solid piece of pure gold weighing just over 27 kilograms, he did so using a rudimentary metal detector.

The piece was sold for close to one million dollars and is currently on display in Las Vegas, specifically at the Golden Nuggets casino.

It is estimated that its value has increased; they now estimate it to be worth around 40 million dollars.
