Got to go out on Wednesday night for a quickie at a cove at the local resort. I only got one target after about an hour of hunting. It was well worth waiting for though. A 14k ring weighing 11.3 grams. It also came with five 1/4 carat diamonds. I was thrilled to say the least. My only regret was not seeing it rolling around in my sand scoop because it was so dark. When I felt it in the scoop I thought it was Tungsten or silver because of the size and weight. When I got home and got my first glimpse of it in the light I still thought it was fake. I did have it appraised by two seperate jewelers/goldsmith's and they both confirmed the the real diamonds and appraised it at about $2,500 at retail. One offered me $1800.00 cash. I declined and will put in the safety deposit box. I felt sorry for the person who lost it...for a few minutes anyway. ;D

Any initials on the inside of it? Maybe you could find the rightful owner or post an ad in the local newspaper. I,m sure the person that lost this will be sick for quite sometime.

Good day.
