It all started with the fact tat I woke up at 3am and felt the urge of going on a hunt before work. So I went down to my beach. After a whole lot of coins the time went by and I was ready to go back home to et ready for work. So i decided to start walking with a big sweep,...so if i hit anything (hardly a chance,right?) I could dig some more on the way. The I had a weird signal. short one way and real long the other. I almost didn't dig it because I was sure it was another bolt. I dug it and it was.............. good thing i checked the hole again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found a beautiful 18K Sapphire Ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anybody have any experience with the Hallmarks? As far as I can tell it's 18K from the Birmingham area. Is that right? Wow what a morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Found my first real treasure!!!!!!!!!!!! Yepeeehhhhhhh

Wow Aleman, that is one nice Find!. It looks like it is really old. I've had the same thing happen to me that happened to you. On my way back to the car, I usually find something. I might be hunting all day long and not find anything and then when I call it quits and head for the car, bang up pops something that made the whole day worthwhile. I guess you could call it luck or something.

But looks like we both got it whatever it is. And it's a beauty.

That's a gorgeous ring! It looks old too!

If you can't find out what the hallmark is on line, take it to an experienced jeweler. That might be a good idea anyway. You can get an appraisal at the same time.

Congratulations on a wonderful find!
