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..... ;D

That's just a beautiful ring!

Thanks al pal! It has almost been exactly one year since I found it and it is still tucked away all safe and sound. I have never worn it as I am thinking one of my sons might use it someday in a proposal....lol....maybe I should wear it!! I am planning another trip to Florida here soon...wonder if I could get as lucky a second time?
