Jer, I remember reading a certain post about a certain trip down south and a certain speeding ticket. Funny how things change. It had to have been the THing Gods looking down and saying, hey, Jer, check that hole again!!! You just paid for that ticket and vacation in one SWEET sweep!!! CONGRATS!!! Get it resized for you and get the seated sealed.

Absolutely great finds. I would get that ring sized and buffed and wear it. I don't wear jewelry but I'd proudly wear a souvenir like that one.

Re: Amazing Diamond Ring Found Today. 1800's Silver Also. What A Day. (Updated)

Thanks alot for all the great replies everyone.

I still am sitting down looking at this thing. It really hits you hard when your not expecting it. I didn't do a dance out in the field. Not even a shout.

My brother who is younger was hunting with me and having a tough day. This one would have killed any partner. So out of love and the way things should be I acted like it was just another day.

I've gotten really accustomed to going out and finding great things. I've been doing it steady now for yrs. I've got a good grasp on this hobby. I think I have more than a slight edge on other users out there also.

I know my unit super well and can teach anyone to be great with a detector also. Not bragging just stating facts. I'm not the best treasure hunter in the world.

Sorry about the philosophy there for a minute. Now back to the ring. Unfortunately the ring doesn't fit. I wear a 8 in a wedding band I think.

This is about a 10 or 11. I looked at the stone under a high powered loop. It has no flaws at all. I'm not a expert on diamonds. But a jewler told me once a few tips about them and I remembered what he said.

The area I was hunting was a rich area. Just developed wooded lands in the past 15 yrs or so. Alot of 1700's history in the neighborhood. Long gone cabins and such. Homes were like 200,000 and up to probably 500,000.

This one must have been lost in the past 20 yrs I'm thinking. There were some big house about 100yards away across the street. You walked right over and could hunt still today in these woods.

It must have been a awful day when whoever lost it. May have fell into the snow while taking a glove off. Then it's gone unless you got a detector.

If I had a ring that rich on I'd a bought one and found it. I'll get back to that area again sometime. Now I gotta work Saturdays for the next few weeks at least.

Thanks again everyone

A friend of mine used to laugh at my silly little hobby until one day he lost his $2800.00 wedding ring in someone's yard.

He called me for help and I found it in 5 minutes with my detector.

Needless to say. He doesn't think the hobby is silly anymore.


Let us know if you get the ring appraised. That one looks expensive! ;)
