2nd GOLD RING - 14K!!!! Man I love wood chips!!!!

[treasurefiend]

I woke up early this morning so I could go hit a park that has produced lots and lots of clad. But my trusty Ace 250 was mostly finding pennies and a lot of pull tabs. I just kept on going, I woke up early to hunt, and regardless of what I find I was happy to be out and about. I was swinging by the swings when I got a jumping nickel signal (nickel to pull tab to all the way to penny). So I said, what the heck, I am sure glad I dug it!!!! I was just hunting in coin mode, so I am really glad that I looked at the monitor. Its a small ring, but its 14K!!!!

Does anybody have any idea what the blue stone in the setting could be? Thanks for looking...

I know the stone messes with the weight and in-turn the melt value, but I just wanted to show it.

sweet find for sure on the ring, ask the jeweler, if its a real sapphire or lab grown, as alot of jewelry stores sell lab grown stones. which means enhanced color... either way nice find.

It's a sapphire if its real, excellent find congrats

very nice job on the 14k gold ring! Yup those woodchip playgrounds are the best! I do not know why people tend to avoid them though. I always hunt them and I find the most coins!

congrats on the ring. i like the wood chips too but I havent found gold there.

WTG on the ring! I just found a sterling one today while re-checking the chips at a school playground..it wasn't there 2 weeks ago!

The wood chips are sometimes underrated..I always check them first when I visit schools before I take to the fields. I've found coins, silver AND gold in wood chip playgrounds..not to mention a Standing Liberty quarter this year and a Liberty Head (Merc) dime last year.

I can't see why someone would fit a lab sapphire into a 14 k ring, I bet it's real! Great find!

 

[treasurefiend]

I was hoping that I would find another gold ring soon, I am still stoked that I did. Thanks for looking...

Saaaweeet, Those gold rings are hard to come by.

 

[txkickergirl]

great find...I haven't had much luck in the wood chips all I find are pennies and broken zippers and pants buttons. Still they are fun to hunt in.

beautiful ring...instead of melting it for the gold, take it to a pawn broker and sell it...

I will just keep this ring, its only worth $30 melt wise. The pawnshops would only try to give me $20 I bet...
Nah, I'll just toss it into the drawer with my other finds.
