Was off of work Friday and had a few minutes so I went to a local park for some hunting. It is a rather new park and was really just playing around finding some clad and a bunch of trash. Anyhow, I decided to check the volleyball courts and see what I could find in the sand. After digging a few pull tabs and a clad dime, I had another "hit" and figured it was another clad or some trash. I had my handy soil sifter and was sifting the sand where I heard the tone. Well, at about 8" or so, out popped this ring, I couldn't believe it. It looked like silver or sterling and I put it in my apron and kept on hunting. Didn't find anything else but junk and I headed home. When I got home I emptied my apron and and cleaned up my finds and when I cleaned the ring and inspected it I got a pleasnnt surprise...it's marked 10K...it's white gold!! Not sure about the stones, may or may not be diamonds. The only bad thing is that one of the small stones is missing. Wow, my first gold ring!! I love this hobby!! Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with it, sell or hold onto it??

I would hold on to it.... since one of the stones is missing a dealer or pawnshop won't pay much for it. Just keep it and save all of your gold for when the price of gold goes too high for you to not want to take it in and get the scrap value for it.

Nice ring ag! I'd hold onto it too. I'm thinking that, when I have enough, I'll make a nice piece of jewelry out of my gold...maybe a few matching pieces...

Congrats!!!
That's a very nice looking ring...
If you can remeber exactly where you found it, you might try sifting through the sand for the other diamond, ( stone).
Good luck, & Happy hnting~
