Well, time to update my "best find". There is an amusing story to go along with this as well...
Today I was over at my brother's house and I was hunting with my two nieces (16 and 13) their friend (16) and my nephew(19). We were all taking turns digging, detecting, marking targets, etc. and having ALOT of fun.
My 13 year old niece happens to be using the detector and finds a target. I mark it with a stick; meanwhile the rest of us are still digging the last two or three items we marked. They were just junk. Eventually we get to the newest target and my 16 year old niece digs, nothing. I pinpoint it again. We dig some more a few inches uphill from it. The item escapes our notice and I detect it in the plug, the friend of my nieces' pulls apart the plug and finds an amythist (spelling?) ring- 3 large amethists and 4 very small diamonds, set in what I assume is silver. It appeared fairly old.
This is where is gets amusing. My 13 year old niece immediately claims it as her own "I found it!" and runs inside the house with it to wash it. The older girls are annoyed, as all of us played an equal part in finding it- blah blah blah, and and my 13 year old niece is almost crying about how she is the youngest, and never gets anything...etc. etc...and ends up pouting and going inside for the rest of the evening...with the ring.
Personally I don't care who gets it-- BUT --I am going to get it appraised...
I would guess it is worth between 50 and 100$.
Guess I learned my lesson about THing with a group
To be continued....
