First Gold Ring

[Auriemma]

Just got back from vacation and took today off to recoup (drove 1050 miles yesterday). I decided to do a quick hunt over at a local park. I hit the usual clad, pull tabs, aluminum cans, and some odd bits (door knob, button, and a SS spoon that was stamped "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" on the back. I was heading out when I got a solid 166 on my Sov XS. Dug down about 4 inches and a shiny yellow catches my eye. I pull out a ring. First thing I'm thinking... It's junk... Then I look closer. It's 14K with what looks like 2 garnets and one diamond in it. Woohoo!

Wow, what a nice ring!

 

[Auriemma]

Thanks all!

After some reading and checking... I think those are rubies! Garnets would be much darker.
