20 Diamond ring found.....fake, but a mystery?

[Monty]

I was out at the house demo site yesterday and got a weak signal at 2" under a loose clump of dirt. I kicked the dirt with my toe and could see something shiney inside a piece of plastic wrap with a metal tie forming a small baggie.Along with the shiney was a small amount of leafy substance resembeling marijuana or perhaps tobacco. I opened it up and found what appeared to be a gold ladies engagement ring with 20 sparkling small diamonds. The leafy substance wasn't dope or tobacco rather smelled of spice and/or herbs, something like that. The ring itself was smashed almost flat. I could tell it wasn't real gold as part of the gold finish was flaking off. There is no markings or anything inside the band to tell just what it is made of , but it looks very much like a lot of costume jewelry I have seen. It is not attracted to a magnet, but that doesn't mean much. Anyway, I tossed the small bag and contents except for the ring. I got to thinking about it and remembered I had once been acquainted with a gypsy reader who would sometimes make up things like that as a good luck charm or perhaps to place a curse on someone. For a small fee she would give the bundle to someone and often instruct them to bury it in a specific place. Of the many stories she told me, it may have been given to an unhappy bride who wanted to get out of a bad marriage or something like that. What do you think? Did I dig up a gypsy curse or perhaps something related to the supernatural? Monty

That's the exact thought I had, Monty. A little bruha witchcraft black magic going on there, methinks.

I'd keep it, but I'm naturally attracted to bad luck anyway 8) nice find.

You still found a nice looking ring Monty. I don't know about any curse, but anyone lucky enough to find the ring shouldn't inherit it.

Oh, I'm not worried about a curse or voo doo or witch craft, but there are segments in our society that still believe in such. The area I found this in was once made up of the ethnicincity (is that a word?) that possibly still holds some of those old beliefs. I put it up among my many other worthless treasures and will put it in a display some day. Monty

A friend of mine said he once found a dead chicken on his front porch placed there as a curse. He said it was delicious with noodles and a few peas and carrots. Monty
