Hit the dry sand at the freshwater beach today. The wind was blowing away a lot of sand and I felt like I was in a sandblaster. But I hung in there and am I glad I did. I struck gold with a 14K engagement ring, seven diamonds in all. Woo hoo! :hello2:

UPDATE: Ice tested real. Gold melt value $90. Jewelry stores only buying 1/2 karat or larger princess cut so I think I'll keep it.

WTG on the ring.

May want to check the ice to make sure they're real..they most likely are but a diamond tester or a well respected jeweler will tell for sure.
