I read here a while back that you should check the piles of dirt gophers leave behind when they dig out holes in parks and such. I started detecting 3 weeks ago and there are gopher holes all over the park I dig at so I’ve gotten in the habit of checking those before looking anywhere else. I hadn’t found anything before, but this time when I got to the park I walked right up to the biggest dirt pile I could find and bam, solid 17 on the Nox. I figured it was a bottle cap but decided to go ahead and grab it since it wasn’t even under the ground, just in the pile. Stuck the pinpointer in and there it was. 14k, 6 grams. Thanks TreasureNet!

Not sure what happened - but here are the photographs...

That's hilarious. I never heard to check those piles, but it makes sense. Great job on an awesome find. Congrats!

My hypothesis has always been that the magnetic aura of buried metal hurts the ears of those little dirt rats. They push it up our of their holes and runs to get rid of it. Moles don't care about it because they wear earplugs. Congrats on a great ring!

Thanks! I tried to fill that out but the Tapatalk app was being a little wonky, probably the issue with the photos as well. Maybe it’s working now?

I have a wheatie from a mole hill!

The mole spirits are waiting for their offering. (You have to put peanuts out in the park)

If you please the moles, expect bigger and more valuable treasures.

Also, I learned the holes are ‘air holes’ the moles punch up to get air into their tunnels.

Congrats on the gold. The only gold ring I have gotten was given away to a friend for a wedding present. And she wasn't the actual recipient, even!
