Because she lost this beauty on the baseline between home plate and first base! I found this last night at a local school yard with a rag-tag softball diamond out back. It rang up in the mid 70's with a solid tone on my ATPro, once again in the "one cent" range. Boy was I surprised to the the big stone gleaming in the plug.:laughing7:

It does appear to be solid gold, and has a weird little hallmark that I could use some help identifying. The hallmark looks like two figures facing each other, with one resting his arm on the other's shoulder, (weird, I know.):icon_scratch:

As for the stone, it has smoky inclusions, as seen in the photos, leading me to believe it is a diamond this time and not a CZ!:headbang:

It has some weight to it, weighing in at 5.1 grams. I will definitely have it checked by a local jeweler for verification of it's metal and stone.

I also found two kiddie rings, making the month's ring count 21 now and climbing. Thanks for looking, happy hunting and DIG THOSE PENNIES! Sub 8-)

Hard to say from a picture. THe mount looks pretty porous and crude for a stone that size but I know amateur ring makers that make the settings for their wives. They look like absolute junk and they are hold VVS Stones.
One never knows! GL GL!!
PS This would be driving me crazy. I have to know immediately when I find something. I bought a Platinum, silver, gold all karats, acid test kit, a diamond tester and a gram scale as a package on ebay for 40 bucks. its a life saver. I use it all the time.

Cheers

That is certainly a looker! Congrats! If you have a tester kit check it out. Hope it's the real deal on the diamond! :icon_thumright:

trdking,
Thanks and I hear you! I think the Mrs. has the stone test/acid test kit in the works for Father's Day. So, I will have to wait until then. But we do have a go-to jeweler nearby and I will take this one and others in for verification. If this one is plated, then what the heck, it is still a looker! For whatever reason, I find nice rings between home plate and first base or the pitcher's mound more than any other place on the old softball fields. Sub 8-)

Even if it isn't gold alloy, it is a fun find and much better than the average kiddie ring find, reminds me of my Gold electroplated silver ring find, with that much size I would expect more weight if gold alloy unless the ring frame was mostly hollow. Still I might be wrong, wouldn't be the first time , would be happy for you if I was :happy1:

That would be cool and very possible on a gold electroplated silver ring , we get our minds locked on the CZ thing sometimes. We get so many of them :BangHead:

Nice find!

30 years ago (Gahds 30 years) A lady brought me a pendant that a "jeweler" told her was yellow Topaz. She bought a basket of yarn at a yard sale and was knitting a yellow ball of yarn and the pendant was inside. She told me the story and I asked her to bring it in. She did. It was a Cartier 6.4 Carat Z flawless Diamond in a Platinum setting. I brokered it for her 30 years ago for 58,000 $$$ Moral is You never know what will come up! And you never know what Bozo will give you bad info or try to rob it from you. I think the "jeweler" offered her $200 bucks for the stone. A gold acid kit and a Diamond tester (they do work) Is cheap insurance for our finds.

Hoping you have a winner!
