It has been quit some time since being here on the forum, been mostly working my A_ _ off no time to MD, been working on this job between Grass Valley and Auburn, multiple concrete pours, we had load of A/B gravel delivered last week, Yesterday we did our third pour there and when finished pouring we started to get things ready for our last pour on this job, while moving some gravel into one of the areas by shovel I looked down and there was this ring, looked in side the band and saw 10 k, not sure on the I K S stands for, it has 7 diamonds on it and I thought well with it being only 10 k probably not real diamonds, put it to my diamond tester and low and behold they are real. Love these eyeball finds.

When you swing a coil, you notice many other things on the ground
that the everyday, run of the mill person doesn't. Nice find...congrats.

Found some info on the IKS Makers Hallmark

The IKS trademark is filed in the category of Jewelery Products .

Not sure how long the mark was on rings prior to the Trademark Registration

Way to go! Always keep an eye open, EVEN while detecting! :)

Actually, I would think the 10k would be even more an indicator that the diamonds are real. Lots of ring makers use 10kt because it is harder than 14kt. So, the diamond settings might stay better over time.

Good eye!

HH!
