2 Rings!

[nedigger]

Found these yesterday (Saturday). I wish the pictures were better but they will have to do until I can get a better camera. The top one is 10k with heart shaped sapphire and the lower one is 14k with 5 diamonds! I decided on Saturday I was just going to do playgrounds at the parks. I found these at the 2nd or 3rd one I stopped at. They were both in the sand next to the swings. Besides these, I found a little over $5.00 in clad. Went out today to 2 parks and found another $6.47 in clad. HH.

Re: 2 Rings! Update!

Ok, I was slow getting around to it but I finally took the bottom ring in the picture above to have it looked at today and... all 5 stones tested positive with a diamond tester. He said it was a nice ring and that it would probably retail for $500 - $600 (definately qualifies as my best find to date). That gives me a new goal to shoot for - a nicer more expensive ring.

Hi Nedigger,

Great achievements!

Since I am new to Garrett GTI 2500 with EagleEye Pinpointing, what settings do you prefer for golden coins What about golden jewelry

Your help will be highly appreciated!

Excellent rings! I have yet to find my first gold ring, have found three silver rings though. I have to start digging more ring/nickel/pulltab signals (kicking myself)! Way to go!!!

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

Gold_Hunter: Although I haven't found a gold coin yet I prefer the "jewelry" mode for hunting. It allows everything from foil and up on the scale while discriminating everything below. For the record, I still dig a lot of trash but as you can see it pays to do so.

Update: My boss expressed interest in the ring for his wife, so I took it in for a written appraisal and will be picking it up Monday. Will try to post the results next week. Good luck and HH.

I picked up the ring today and the appraisal and ...
I think the first guy I took it to may have thought I wanted to sell it and gave me a lowball estimate of it's value.
Well, here is the pertinent part of the appraisal:

Holy diamond ring batman! SWEET!

How much did you pay for the appraisal?

After checking around and getting quotes from $35 - $60, I took it to the place that charged $35. This is the first time I have had anything appraised and wasn't quite sure what to expect for my money or if paying more would be worth the extra cash, but I'm very satisfied with the results.

Thanks everyone. This is without a doubt my best find to date...I can't wait to top it! Good luck to all and HH.
