I dumpster dive EVERY SINGLE DAY.

All local restaurants, schools, and several individuals save food waste for my farm (mainly the pigs!).. but two corporate chains, and their lackeys prefer to trash food rather than pass it along. So I dive their dumpsters every day.

I have found all sorts of interesting things in my sorting, but this 14K gold ring takes the cake as far as monetary value is concerned (beside the food, and battling waste.. which I value as priceless!)

Buried treasure!

What do you plan to do with it?

I have it hanging from a thumbtack on my wall.. along with a spare key, and a rubber hose washer. It will stay there until something else happens.
 
Why am I so drawn to cherry pie? I can't seem to stop. Save me tiny ad!
