(update- back from jeweler, emerald is real) Hello all, just posted this in the beach forum, want to share with all hunters!! I still cant believe it either!! Mr. Gary Drayton would be proud of this one...lol. Was at the water line at the 7am low tide this mourn, the first hour was gloomy with nothing but bottle caps and a few clad. Three hours later found a low spot with a quarter, fish sinker and this 22k (916) Emerald beauty!!! First thing I did was look up the mark 916, no freakin way, broke out the acid to make sure, tested 22k all day!!!
I cant say the emerald is real yet, will have it looked at, but it sure looks good!!! Thx for looking and HH!!!!

I do wonder sometimes if the people who lose things just figure that some detectorist will just come along, find it and give it back to them anyway. Then, I kinda wonder about how bad they feel about the detectorist who basically just donated their time, money and effort to get a pat on their back and sent on their way. ;) LOL

What a beautiful ring! I would have had to sit down if that came up in my scoop!

I am glad the emerald was real.

Great photos of the ring in this post! Did you happen to get an estimate on the size of the emerald? It looks over 5 ct. and if it was high quality would be worth a considerable amount of money. The ring is gorgeous--have you been able to narrow down the timeframe yet?

I'll vote "Banner Find" on it! :)

Gold is always great but when found with a huge stone it's nothing but pure BONUS! Congrats on a great ring find.
