I just tried, but the quality is way too low....either the phone camera used was poor or the compression via internet transmission has lost the quality on the pic. I was almost expecting to see Spanish words under the coca cola logo though lol

Not that I care where it came from (the Asteroid is an even bet haha) but it would be waaay cool if it was from the USA.

If you go to the Minelab page that Lunk linked in his post you can see a much higher resolution picture which you should be able to zoom in on.

I tried it there and it wouldn't enlarge. 

So, it is in English.  I was hoping it would say where.

It is certainly possible for an AZ nugget to be that big.  Ask Kevin Hoagland.  My AZ nugget has 8 ozt/22 ozt total weight.

I know there are a few diligent AZ nugget hunters who get over 40 ozt per year but all are a couple of ozs  or less.

It was a good thought to try to enlarge the writing but it’s all in English on both sides.

Well, a little bit of internet sleuth work shows the Hostess brand is owned South of the Border by the Mexicans.   It used to be American until the Mexicans bought it ... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2234822/Mexican-company-eyes-bankrupt-Hostess-Brands-Twinkies-loyalists-snatch-sweet-confections-shelves-frenzy.html

The Cherry coke can has metric measurements on it which are used in South America.  Remember the USA is among only 3 countries in the world to use the imperial measurement system, with the others being Myanmar and Liberia.

This is the gold finders can.....

And I believe with some minimal research this is the can type of that design that was sold in the USA

It's looking a bit iffy to me, unless of course he transported his drink with him in his motor home from South America somewhere.  So we know it was found in 2020, not 2021 due to the date it was published on the Minelab site, and we can't be sure what country it was found in ?

It certainly does look like the window of an older motor home / caravan.
