Hello everyone,

I was out yesterday at a park that I have been numerous times and decided to hunt the trails. The trails are loaded with trash from pull tabs to those wonderful can tops, can slaw,car parts, nails you name it it's there. Anyhow I was hunting with a few buddies eric, dave and frank. Eric tells me he is going to the bottom of these trails,he uses a whites dfx, and has been at it since the early 70's. Every time he goes hunting with us he always seems to find the best coins. Well I decided to follow him down to the bottom of the trails. As he was walking back up I asked him did he make it to the bottom. He says yeah its very trashy down there. So in my mind I am thinking where there is trash there is treasure. So I have been digging lots of nickel signals, some are pull tabs and beaver tails, and nickels . On my way back up this trail I get a solid red eye 12-10 on my Ctx at 3 inches down. I am thinking buffalo nickel or a v nickel, but I was wrong it was a gold ring. White gold stamped 14k, with Diamond cut edges. I am very glad to have it and I am glad I followed my buddy down those trails and dug what he either skipped or just didn't dig. Good luck to all and happy hunting!

Nice! Keep reading that digging trash pays, thanks for the post.
 

You the man.
 

That is awesome! It's a beauty
 

I'd love to find one like that ! Still looking for my first "Honking Big ! " Gold or White Gold mens wedding band here =)
 

Congrats on a nice,fat piece of 14k!
 

You can find all the coins you want but Wow when dig a nice gold like that big 14k it is the ultimate feeling. Congrads..!!
 

Looks heavy...how much does it weigh?...congrats on a nice chunk of 14k.
 

I don't have an actual weight, I will have to buy a digital scale. I used my postal scale and it was fluctuating between 6 and 7 grams. I held it in my hand versus a nickel which weighs 5 grams it's much heavier than the nickel but not heavier than 2 nickels. Once I have a more accurate scale I will post the weight with picture.
 

Very nice congrats
 

Awesome Find!!! Makes all those pull tabs worth it!!!
 

I bought a digital scale and the ring weighs 6.41 grams. So my postal scale was pretty accurate just not exact!
