🥇 BANNER Saved the best for Last!!!!

[eagleforce]

I am almost speechless...this is probably my best find of the year, and on the last day of it!! This afternoon I went over to my local stomping grounds only a few houses down the street. On about my third or so target, I pulled this awesome Jade Buddha Pendant. Its amazing how that works sometimes its right at the beginning ! It is pretty big too. Has the 18K mark on back and even has some stones on it that I am going to test. Cant wait to get it cleaned up. Well Happy 2014 to all you Members and lurkers!!

[eagleforce]

Wow! Thank you guys for voting banner!! I am almost speechless again like when I dug it up, haha! Hope everyone has a great year of finds in 2014!

Awesome find ! Curious as to what its worth , you plan on getting a appraisel ?

A buddy of mine knows the guy at the mall who deals with jewelry. I am planning on having him look at it this week just to see, but it would be hard to let this one go I think.

Great photos AU seeker and pilot. That second one looks the closest to this one AU Seeker. It weighs 9.9 grams. I hope the little "diamonds" are real. I did a quick search on the net and found some for a nice price, assuming the diamonds are real though and their quality.

That is what you call a "Laughing Buddha". You rub his belly for good luck and fortune !! I have a large one on my shelf that's just made of clay, I rub his belly all the time...
Very awesome find, I'm totally jealous of that !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Buddha teaches us on the path to enlightenment, that one must give up all material possessions to be free from ego......

I'll P.M. you my address so you can send it to me.

Very cool find and congrats on making the banner!

Cheers,
Dave.

Besides a couple of exact matches on eBay (one sold and the other ....?), there were a couple similar items:
Vintage Carved Jade Happy BUDDHA Pendant 18k Gold from arnoldjewelers on Ruby Lane
18k Gold, Jadeite & Diamond Buddha Pendant (item #1067025)
I don't know if the eBay matches mentioned diamonds and vintage but these two links seem to indicate that.
I've seen 70's era mentioned a couple of times.
Makes it even more interesting.
It looks like it was down a few inches so it must have taken the little fatty some time to get there!
That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen pulled out of the ground!
