IT'S HERE, THE FLORIDA HUNT, FIND OF A LIFETIME

I heard some people want to see what I found, so, here it is
the first thing I found is a cap gun from the 1940's called a mini cap gun, made by the Esquire toy Co.
of Amsterdam, NY. value, about $36.00
After an appraisal, my best find is this little beauty,
47 point, vvs1, pear cut w/back bow tie cut diamond, set in a 14 ct. gold band, weighing 5.7 grams
total value $1700.00
I about had a heart attack when I found it, and almost died when told the value
I'm now definitely a believer in "DIG EVERYTHING" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS Bobby for a great hunt, can't wait for the next one

Nice finds Sniffer.All the cap guns I have found have been corroded / eco-damaged.
Love the ring...that stone looks bigger than a half ct.....keep or sell??

Re: IT'S HERE, THE FLORIDA HUNT, FIND OF A LIFETIME

the band is wide, but only a size 4, they suspected it was made to match the man's ring
