I found this in a park at the end of February and have been waiting to post it here. It was near the surface and seemed to be a recent loss. I turned it in to the local police station in case someone reported losing it. Well, 90 days have passed and I was able to claim it this week! The band is 14k white gold and the stone appears to be real. I haven't had it appraised yet, but I would estimate it at 1/3 carat.
I was using the Excal and digging lots of pulltabs that day. When I dug it my first impression was - another pulltab. I brushed off some soil and thought, "cool, silver earring!". Then I felt the setting and realized it was a ring. My jaw dropped open when I brushed off the remaining soil and saw the diamond. I didn't do a happy dance of any sort, but I do remember muttering some happy expletives. My best ring so far.

Awwww, someone lost their engagement ring. How sad it must of been for them. You did a wonderful thing by trying to find the owner.
 
Nice ring for you but an unfortunate loss for someone else. :-\ At least you tried to find the owners :icon_sunny:
 
Very nice ring, WTG
 
Get her tested. By the mount, more than four prongs to hold it, it is a high probability it is a diamond. Nice try on getting it back to the owner by the way.
 
Very nice looking ring.....Matt
