Ring Returned Found my biggest piece of bling

Got in touch with a lady a month ago who said her sister lost her diamond ring about 15 yrs ago in her yard. It seems that she took them off to push the kids on the swing set, when her nephew then 5 years old grabbed them and was running around the yard. After much searching they found the wedding band but not the diamond. I told her that i have a few metal detectors and that i would try to find it if she wanted me to. she said sure but didnt sound to enthusiastic about it. Well i got there this afternoon while she was at church and after about 40 minutes i had the ring. I waited about 15 minutes and she arrived home and asked how i did, I held it out and she damn near fell over stating you've got to be kidding me you really found it. I told her i was going to bring it home and have it cleaned and she looked at me kinda strange, i told her if i was going to take it i would have left after i found it and not have shown her she agreed. Shes going to get in contact with her sister and have her meet her at her house and not tell her why she needs to come over but just be there. She thought it was a 4 carat diamond but im guessing more a 2.5 carat, when i bring it to be cleaned ill have it checked. and post the size and photos of the return. thanks for looking

I returned the Diamond ring on friday night, she had no idea that i had found it.we sat her down in the livingroom with friends and family there,i asked her if she lost anything she stated i loose stuff all the time i asked her awhile ago? she said how long are we talking so i took the ring out of my pocket and told her 15plus yrs when she saw the ring she started crying and thanking me what a great feeling it is to do this as you can see in the pic hers eyes are still watered up thanks for looking again

Great find! Good job returning it!
 
Good karma coming your way. Way to go man !
 
Nice one! There's always the unbelievers!
 
in my opinion, that stone is maybe 1 carat at best, but I'm only looking at a picture so it's somewhat hard to determine. A 4 carat stone would be huge, rare, and very valuable. congrats on the recovery and eventual return. just for fun, here's a chart that may help.... Marquise, navette Diamond carat size chart. How big are carat sizes


 
after looking at it more im guessing 1.5-2 its 3/8th inch long
 
The lady will likely never forget your help and honesty. Good job!
 
Wow ! Great story I would like to a fly on the wall when you present it to her sister .
 
congrats on the find and return!
 
Kent, that is so awesome. It sure is a pretty ring, I bet she was sick when she lost it. You will be her hero now!
 
Congrats on a great find. Not only do you find the sister's ring, but you're having it cleaned by a jeweler before returning it...that's cool!
