You were rewarded with the treasure of this hobby long before you found THE RING.
Time to clear your head, exercise, and the thrill of being a pirate.
These are the things that make it easy to justify what you do.
THE RING is ICING ON THE CAKE.

You have to click on the red NOMINATE BANNER button in the upper right corner of Rons post...just saying banner in your reply doesn't count as a vote...most people know that but some don't. :icon_thumright:

A big congratulations is in order I do believe but maybe it's just the kind heart inside of me that makes me feel really bad for someone who lost something like that

Well it's over 3 ct. in diamonds . the center diamond is almost 2.25 ct. all set in 18kt white Gold. the value retail is over $12,000, it sold for $8000 cash The ring was found with a sand shark and was over 12'' deep in the wet sand. This s the Biggest Diamond I have ever found that I got to keep. There was 3 other guy with detector there.
Ron, you posted 2 threads, one with out a picture and one with picture, this thread has no date you found ring and the picture is very poor quality. I found the date in the other thread.

For item to make banner we always need good picture of item found with the story to go with it, date etc...

Please post couple new pictures that are clear if possible.

Look at our banner just like posting story for the East West Treasures magazine, we need story with date found, good pictures of find, info on appraisal if you got one, all in same thread.

Many times members post finds in a thread, then post another thread on appraisal in new thread and it messes up the voting as votes are on 2 different threads as is the story. We get banner votes from many different threads every day....

It is always better to post every thing in same thread...
