The plaque reads " This Magnificent Gold Nugget, The Largest on public display in the world, was discovered using a metal detector lying six inched below the surface in a vertical position. It weighs a massive 875 troy ounces (61 pounds and 11 ounces). A man who has been chosen to remain anonymous, his wife, and four young children were prospecting behind their modest trailer home when they made this spectacular find!"
