**UPDATE...appraisal is in. See below

*Update...Diamonds tested real and estimated to be 2 to 3 carats!!!!


I headed down to the coast to take advantage of the erosion and low tide. I hit a solid signal and out popped this 21.4 gram 18KT Ring with 52 Diamonds! I could not believe my eyes. I also got two more rings, including a carbide wedding band and stainless US Army Field Artillery ring. Bunch of clad and a musket ball.

I found a similar ring on Ebay that retails for $5995.00. The ebay one has 4 fewer diamonds and it also claims they weigh 3 carats. It also weighs slightly more in gold. I think I better get the ring professionally appraised as it appears the carat weight may be more than I was told. The jewelry store that told me 2.1 carats only estimated and recommended I have a Jeweler look at it which I didn't have time for. Stay tuned!

Holy mother ..... I went down to the beach after Irene sent us about 1/4" of rain :-\ and all I found was a bunch of pulltabs, a SS spoon, and 1 lowly penny. Very nice!

Yes 47th, it was a small caliber musketball. The storm must have churned it up as it was freshly "cleaned" by the sand.

I'm voting banner. Not sure why others don't see it that way. 2.1 carats? What not banner in that?
