Gold and Diamonds baby!

[mikeraydj]

I went back this morning to a schoolyard that I was at the day before but had to leave because it got to hot to detect. My first signal was a zinc penny. The second dig, a dime. Then on my 3rd I get a hard nickel hit. The F2 says it is about 2 inches down. I figure this is an easy nickel. I plunge my digger into the soil just deep enough to pull back the grass when out pops this. I almost had a heart attack. One large stone and 8 baguettes.





I think I might have secured a spot in the gold and diamond club. Taking it to the jeweler tomorrow.

That is a stunner of a ring, got a lucky lady in mind or some upgrades?

I am lucky that my wife hates gold. She is a silver gal. I may sell it. Not sure where I would get the most for it. Anyone here sell their jewelry finds?

sweet find!

Great find! 1 carat stone is one nice rock.

Sorry to report but the diamonds in this ring were CZ's. S**t! The gold was real, but the stones weren't. Had it tested again by a reputable jeweler. Sorry for the false alarm.

I thought I was the only one that had a wife that hates gold...you can get off with the silver until they discover platnum then your screwed...lol.

Congrats on the gold ring...sorry about the stones but still a nice find.

Awesome ring. I have several cheap ring finds but nothing gold or diamond.

That's sure a looker! Congrats!
You got the gold your still in the running!
That's one of the reasons I have a tendency to not believe what I'm seeing and throw it in the goodie bag and keep hunting.
There for a while you had a gold and diamond ring!

I can't seem to find that combo...yet.

 

[mikeraydj]

Me either, I went to a reputable jeweler today and they said the stones were CZ's. I guess I have to keep digging. Sorry for the false alarm.

Thanks for the up date...some people wouldn't have told they made a mistake...your a stand up guy in my book...you still found a great gold ring...congrats.

Looking forward to the outcome! Congrats!

Did you tell the jeweler you found it? There are a lot of shady guys that will tell you it's fake so you'll leave it or sell it to them for the gold! Did the first guy test it?

 

[squiggy]

Great find anyway..you still found gold!

I had two test it. The second one ran the tests in front of me.

Sounds like you have a 50/50 chance of it being real , amazon has quality diamond testers for 10- 15 - dollars , well worth the money . I am not saying the second jeweler did this , but he could have , there is a rheostat thumbscrew knob that if not adjusted to the proper sensitivity will register as not diamond , either way it's an awesome find , I still have hope that your stone is real ( it's the right size to be a nice diamond engagement ring, rather than a huge 2 or 3 carat stone which would be more likely to be CZ)

its still a super nice find.. I know your disappointed that the stones aren't real, but hey, least its real gold. either way, its very very nice and super pretty too. I hope your next one is a biggie and real.

Me too!
