14kDE Sparkler in the Sand! I went to a beautiful County park, located on Long Island Sound here in Westchester County. At the close of the summer season, the sandy beach is closed with no access. I thought perhaps I would be able to get on the beach, but a new 10’ security fence quickly ended those hopes. :dontknow:

Instead, I started working the sand volleyball courts. I was a little shocked when my first coin was a 1956 Wheat penny! :icon_thumleft: That helped me forget about not getting on the beach, and I actually started enjoying myself. I began popping a lot of 1970s clad in the middle of the court near where the net would be, and then I got a sharp, crisp, double beep.. :icon_scratch:

I already had several pop-tops in the pouch, and I was sure this was one more. Shook out the scoop and looked in. WOW! :o Kate said she heard me holler from 50-yards away. It is marked 14kDE, and the stone is clear, not blue as it looks in the photo. I don’t see any scratches on the stone, but I’m not going to get excited until I have it checked at my jeweler tomorrow. Ah heck, who am I kidding? I might not even sleep tonight! :laughing9: :hello2: :laughing7:

What does the "DE" stand for? My searches have come up with nothing applicable.

I'm really not sure. I thought perhaps Germany, or maybe a makers mark. I should know more tomorrow! I want to believe it's a diamond, but I have been disappointed before. Thanks for all the nice posts and Stay tuned! :notworthy:

It certainly looks good to me but would be surprised if someone would not get someone to md the court if it was lost. Can't wait to hear the results.

Nice looking ring! Usually....anything with an E after the K is not a good thing.
Hope this isnt the case here.
