Florida Vacation...LEFT was RIGHT !! Appraisal with new pictures!..and a prayer

[luckysgirl]

I took a spring break vacation to Florida with my brother Jeff (clump63)
and 4 teenagers last week! We had a great time and managed to get
a few days of metal detecting in while we were there. Jeff and I found
out real quick that the metal detecting competition down there is FIERCE!!
Nothing like we are used to here in Indiana.
Our second day we decided to hit a popular beach area by 7 a.m. and realized that we were late...there were already 4 or 5 old timers out there
scanning the sand. Jeff took to the right side of the beach and I took to
the left side...wondering if there would even be anything left since the
regulars were already well on their way to scooping sand.
Anyway, long story short....I dug up this beauty and almost fainted!
I took it to the local jeweler today....the ring is stamped 18k and the
diamond is 3/4 carot. He recommended to me where to take it to have the
stone graded as he found it to be an outstanding stone!
Approximate value in his opinion....$4,000 to $5,000 !!
Oddly enough....this is the first ring I have ever found.....

I was able to get my ring to the recommended jeweler today.
The appraisal value did not come back as high as I was originally
lead to believe but...I could not be any happier with my find....
and I could not have asked for a better vacation!
I wonder if I will ever find anything else with this much value....

Just saw this post - wtg girl! And even if the appraisal wasn't what you thought it would be, it's still mighty fine!

Oh, it was fun to see the "other specimens" too (the guys don't usually post those for some reason

Rock on! (pun intended)
