Left for work a little early to pick up the sp24 coil and wound up with about 20 minutes to kill before my shift. I was eager to test it out so I stopped at a park on my way and got to sweeping. I found two aluminum balls and this 10k gold ring with a hopefully authentic ruby and 14 small diamonds all still in place. Not too bad. (I’m guessing these pictures won’t be oriented correctly when I post them. Still haven’t figured it out.)

I've searched and can't find anything that looks similar. Do you have any recommendations on how to find it? It looks older the more I look at it.

Way to go! Love my Simplex + and got the SP24 coil a few months ago. Haven't taken it off yet. Thanks for sharing.

Nice ring! Looks like Ruby and the way the white stones are set, all bet diamonds as well. GRATS!

Sweet! Congrats on your first gold! I'm super impressed with my Simplex so far and I'm on the verge of buying the SP22 or SP24...
