Ring is beautiful, would look much nicer on banner with picture in focus..

Congrats Ron, First banner and well deserved! I'd hire a professional photographer!

He said it sold for $8000 cash so that may be the only photo. I would have liked to know the color, cut, and clarity. It might have been worth much, much more.

Yes, but you really don't want to think about that once its been sold.
Just enjoy......

If it is only picture, it is only picture, but members need to understand for banner we need good quality pictures....

I don't think he sold it...I think he meant he found them retailing for $12,000 and seen them selling for $8,000...I may be wrong but that's how I read it.

Wow that was a GREAT find.

Shooting jewelry is a very tough thing to do especially with diamonds. My brother shoots rings for advertising and it is not a simple task like shooting a coin or relic. Try shooting it with a tripod against white or black. That being said nice find.

Hey Ron ! BIG Congrats!

Interesting that the humble Sand Shark found it and not the high powered Garrett ATX.

No disrespect intended as I have both of those machines too...and the Shark is the more fun one to use (although I prefer the Dual Field).

Of course this deserves a Banner...and hoping a better photo..that ring really deserves it!

I've had issues as well trying to photo diamond rings i've found. Never can quite get that right shot.
(Examples attached, including 1 honker quite like Ron's ring) ... Hard to beat the sharks for the bling!

Well done Ron!

 

[jeff of pa]

the only way I could photograph Diamonds was With allot of Light & No Flash.

Then Start Snapping pics in Macro from all angles till I got a Crisp enough pic

As long as members understand poor pictures can keep a find from making banner...
