Ice storm in the Caribbean!! *UPDATE*

Yesterday I talked to a fellow who had lost his wedding ring but wasn't really sure where he had lost it. I searched the area for awhile and had to head out. This evening I thought I'd go back and see if I could find it. I don't like going out just prior to sunset because of all the people who have been sitting on the beach drinking all day and are there waiting for sunset or are to drunk to find their way back to the hotel.

Ran into a group of fellows who I didn't care to be around and thought I'd make a bee line for the hotel next door. Glad those drunk dummies were there because I probably would not have found this 16 gram, 18K ring with 48 small diamonds.

The stones tested real! This one will have to be appraised for sure. The black titanium was the only other find I made in a 2 hour hunt other than about 15 pull tabs and 2 bottle caps.

With these 2 ring finds my total ring count for the year is 126. My total ring count for 2012 was 126. I got 2 more months to go.

Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

Got into town this afternoon and hit a jewelry shop. The fellow said that it was a TDW of 3.5 and would probably retail for $3,500.00. I'll be in the States in January and will have an official written appraisal done with a more reputable jeweler but I'm pretty happy with the $3,500.00 guess.

Did you test the 18k? Hopefully yours is not junk like my friends. Her ring was plated.

Steve,
I test the finds. Can't take anything for face value. Going to the jewelry shops on Tuesday to get an idea of how many text books this will pay for if my wife surrenders it. Good luck out there.

Send me a PM when you find out the value unless you want to share. I was hoping it was real.
