Banner all day long !!! Not too many rings found of that caliber. That's got to be the greatest feeling finding something of that worth. Maybe it has a band for a brother out there for you next.

Just wondering what your going to do with it?? Give it to the wifey?.. Sell it and take a trip down south to do some more treasure hunting?? Whatever you do, make sure you give a little back to someone or somewhere and you'll keep your good luck running!
Irishgoldhound, I am the wife lol and this fits me like a glove, times been hard here but for the moment I am going to enjoy wearing it. I love it.

best thing I can tell ya ,is this, never give up, go out with the attitude of having fun, no matter what you find, even if its clad and junk, your out there doing what you love to do. and think outside of the box sometimes, I never hunt the high dry, that day, something told me go up in the dry.. I listened and bam there it was.. wasnt a easy find, as it was compacted and had to kick my scooper several times to get it out, normally I would of given up, but this time I had to see what it was.. so keep on digging and love what you do. you just never know what will happen. HH and enjoy.

nice ring!

have it professionally polished and keep it = my advice.

I am gonna have it professionally polished, but the fellow that does all the work and repairs is off on tues. they dont send it out, they do it right there.

I would like to thank everyone for their very nice comments and voting banner find for me, never in my mind did I ever think that would happen to me, so thank you all so very much. The only thing I can say from my own personal experiences is this, I used to get mad at myself for not finding anythng or just clad or just junk, then I said to myself, what the heck are you doing rae, so I changed my attitude, I had a conversation with myself saying, look girl, your out on the beach, this is your special me time, enjoy it, see if you see any dolphins out there,(I love seeing pods of em) watch the waves, watch the cute little kids having a blast, no matter what you find be thankful that your there in the fresh air, so basically what I am trying to say is ENJOY yourself, have fun and keep on digging and always keep a positive attitude no matter and never give up. Thank you all so very much.

ok I suggest polishing and rhodium plating for it (if its platinum then rhodium plating is an option but not a necessity).

also my advice is to keep it, unless you need the money.. you wont get $6k for it, and one carat princess cut diamond is a rare thing.

A cheap one until I can decide on a very good brand-name one to buy.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Prayers for your husband and you and family. My aunt Shirley is at the same stage with her cancer too. I know what you are going through. I have colitis and sometimes you are in so much pain and suffering that it's unbearable. It is very hard to suffer, have a good couple of hours, back to suffering, watching people eat what you can't.... Sometimes I pray for Jesus to take me because I can't stand it... but somehow, with His strength, I take a breath, a step, and then another...

That really is a fantastic ring. Here's a gold star: one for you and one for your husband. I know it may seem kindergartenish but I think they are appropriate at this time. Think of the Captain & Tennille song "Love will keep us together" :award_star_gold_3:LOVE:award_star_gold_3:

Awesome life time find and making Banner!

I'm still looking for that gold diamond ring with the diamond IN it! Plat. would be nice too!

Still praying for you, hubby and family. It is an extremely hard path you trod, but you are doing it with such grace, and God's love. Just know you are never alone, ever.
