I got out this morning for an hours hunt and hit a big sports field complex. The ground was pretty well frozen, so I skipped the ball fields, and hunted in a sandlot playground in the back of the complex. I scored a fair amount of clad, and with my hands frozen, was about to head back to the car, but decided to spend a few last minutes hunting around the swing set. About halfway through, I got a strong nickel signal at 4", and out popped this pretty 10K gold ring. It has a big green stone, surrounded by smaller white stones, but I'm guessing those are fake since it's only a 10K ring, but it's my first gold find in quite a while, so I'm happy with it!! Remember, when hunting playgrounds, don't forget to hunt a few feet behind the swings, as that's where Mom stands to push the little ones, and loses stuff like this in the process!! With the snow coming tonight (8-15"), it looks like I'll be hunting below the tide lines for a while! Thanks for looking, and HH!

TK, never assume that 10K means stones are CZ's. Those look like they might be single cut diamonds but can't be sure without testing them 1st.

Nice find -- I am pretty sure the white stones are diamonds -- athough they look to be I2 grade or so -- could just be the dirt. Not sure about the center stone. Congrats !! 8)

I'd hazard a guess that the green stone is either peridot or green tourmaline-although more likely peridot or a synth.
