Went out on the last day of 2012 to a house tear down and found a strange makeup box with skeleton key, a 1937 english large cent and a (5 ct. diamond in the wood chips). I have not had the diamond checked yet, but it cuts glass. On 01 jan 2013 I hunted some wood chip areas and came up with a nice 925 amethyst ring and some other trinkets. The Christmas tree could be real , but probably not. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for your replies! I will take the diamond to the mall to see if they can test it. I was also surprised that it didn't go under the wood chips!

I hope it's a real diamond, but with those scratches I would guess that it might be made of glass or something similar from a piece of costume jewelry. How did you come up with the 5 ct. number?--5 carats is a big stone! The stones in the Christmas tree might be real if the setting is gold. Nice set of finds there over all! Good luck with the "diamond!"

Geez, does the place have a cellar, crawlspace or outbuildings to check? Sounds like a place with some history. Wow!
