Found my first real treasure!!!!!!!!!!!! Yepeeehhhhhhh (NEWS....not really :-( )

[aleman]

It all started with the fact tat I woke up at 3am and felt the urge of going on a hunt before work. So I went down to my beach. After a whole lot of coins the time went by and I was ready to go back home to et ready for work. So i decided to start walking with a big sweep,...so if i hit anything (hardly a chance,right?) I could dig some more on the way. The I had a weird signal. short one way and real long the other. I almost didn't dig it because I was sure it was another bolt. I dug it and it was.............. good thing i checked the hole again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found a beautiful 18K Sapphire Ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anybody have any experience with the Hallmarks? As far as I can tell it's 18K from the Birmingham area. Is that right? Wow what a morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a fantastic find.... I am yet to even find a ring I hope that it is the 1900 date, as it would most likely be worth a lot more than a modern version.
Keep up the good work and God bless

That is the most gorgeous ring I've seen on this board!

I'm no expert, but my first reaction was "that is an old ring". I'd take it to several jewelers. Opinions may vary.

My guess is you've paid for a couple dozen detectors...

Congratulations!

WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL RING! GREAT FIND! AS TO THE AGE, IN MY OPINION, IT'S A MODERN DESIGN AND NOT FROM 1900.

Well, when it comes to jewelry, I don't know what I'm talking about. My business partner in the old book and antique shop is just about an expert on old jewelry and I had him look at the pictures and he said "it is definitely old and from around 1900" and he knows his stuff. Trust me. If he says its old, it's old!

I had to chuckle at an earlier post by "kakcsdad", where he stated his wife said that this was 18K "overlay". Stop listening to your wife! It is obvious to my eyes that this is SOLID 18K. The quality of the sapphires are outstanding. (My birthstone).
I deal in vintage jewelry, but I am going to go with this being a newer ring, as opposed to one from 1900. The color of the sapphires are outstanding. A nice cornflower blue. Off the top of my head I would place an approximate retail value at anywhere from $3,000 to $4,000.
An EXCEPTIONAL find!!!
