I found this ring detecting in some lilac bushes. It is ring #2 for the year. It was a couple inches deep. When it came out I thought holy crap it's a diamond ring. It looked like white gold and came out sparkling and shiny. Upon closer inspection there were no marks inside and the plating was a little worn at the bottom. I was disappointed that it wasn't real but it was still a thrill to find. I showed it to my neighbor. She told me she had just scrapped her wedding rings. She said the guy took the diamonds out and put them in a bag for her. She asked if I wanted them. I asked how much did she want for them? She wanted nothing for them and gave them to me for free. She said that she was glad to get rid of them. I'll call it being in the right place at the right time. I had them tested and they are all real diamonds. Thanks for looking! DD

I wonder. Was she trying to cut down her net worth to get health insurance? I can't imagine any other reason to give her diamonds away.
