I've been metal detecting since 1985 and I just dug one of my best finds ever. I was hunting a median and dug out a 14K one karat diamond ring surrounded
by 20 smaller diamonds! It was a nickel reading on my meter. This ring puts to shame all the other gold rings I've found over the years. I believe the value has
to be between $5,000.00 and $10,000. I'm taking it to a jeweler tomorrow to get it checked out. It appears to be a high quality diamond.Wow! My wife really likes it!

WOW! That's a really nice piece of ice you got to show off/give to the Mrs.
Brownie points city! :headbang:

I'm thinking the style of the ring has some age to it-not saying Deco-but with the shoulder diamonds it has some style to it-very nice indeed.
I think what you hear from the jewelry will make you smile.
By the way it would look really good up there on the banner-just saying......

Congrats on a beautiful ring. I get frustrated with nickel signals, and really only dig them in hopes of finding a treasure piece like that one. Awesome!

It fits the wife's finger perfectly! She wore it to church yesterday and made all the other ladies jealous!
