thx...I didnt believe the 14k marking,couldnt wait to get home and test for myself.Its like 35 grams of 24k.Felt like a quarter pound in my shaking hand !!:occasion14:..I'll take an 8th pound of 14k tho...woooopie !!!!My first find post as I always thot my first find post would be at least"bannerish"lol.9 gold rings this year and they dont weigh half of this beast.
 

Really nice find there.....
 

Well you do have the word "big" in your nickname.
So it fits :)

WD... when you first get that realization as you shake your hand and your head at the same time...
And it dawns on you...
what you have just found...
And that it looks good and furthermore...
definitely looks like...
IT MATTERS... heh.
 

I find it hard to believe that the one who lost it didn't realize it immediately.... oh well....you win! Good job by you!
 

yup dave...he knew prolly.but couldnt find it in the snow.since he was tresspassing on my buddy's property,clearly marked,to go sledding he never reported it to the property owner or local pd.I felt no compulsion to hide the initials.he goes through alot of damage and littering on his property from the tourists.I not only had permission,but loaned my buddy(owner) a 350 and spent almost an hour dialing him in on it.he found a sweet 925 ring and we both killed the clad.

This sucker is MINE and I'm keeping it...lol
 

Nice chunk of gold, congrats.
 

bigfoot,

That's one sweet find.....about $1225 in scrap value alone.

Sheesh ...
Even sasquatches and bigfoots are MDing these days...
Arrrg. :P
 

That really is a MONSTER bracelet. Just in time for Halloween : ) I found one earlier in the year on land that was 29 grams and I thought that was big. Way to go!

BTW, I nominated it for a banner find. It's one of the heaviest pieces of gold I've seen posted here. A friend found a 117 gram 18k chain on a beach 30 years ago, but this ranks right up there in the heavy gold finds.

Congrats on digging a present. :occasion14: I'm certain your wife has dibs on that piece.
 

61 grams is huge! I had a bracelet that was around 40 and it was so heavy the clasp would fail. What a killer find!!
 

That's one honking bracelet, liking the "This sucker is MINE and I'm keeping it...lol"
