Gold and Diamonds

[Trescher]

This morning started out with my brother and I driving an hour to hunt for his mother-in-law's pinky diamond ring. She was clearing brush one day without gloves and lost the ring. We checked several spots and a few fire pits. It could have been anywhere. Needless to say, we didn't find it.

After I came home, I went back out to an Elementary school with my boys. We found a silver earring (.925) and what I hope is a real diamond earring. (I'll have it checked in the morning.)


Thanks for looking.

I know your heart was pounding when you found the stone earring. Sorry it wasn't a diamond. Better luck next time. Love the photos too! Share your technique please!

Happy Hunting,
Moon

Trescher, I would be interested in your picture tent, if you don't mind posting it!

Thanks,

Okay I posted in the photographing section. Let me know what you think. I can take more pictures or be more descriptive if anyone needs it. Enjoy!

Trescher, your lightbox is great! The instructions were concise and easy to understand. I'm going to try to make myself one, maybe a little smaller. I've been wanting to buy one but wanted to see one in person first. This is even better, I can make one to fit my specific needs. Wish I had one years ago when I was taking photos to go with magazine articles. Hey, if I'm successful with making a box, maybe I'll start writing again...I've got a digital camera now AND soon I will have a lightbox. Hmmm, this is getting me thinking about the nice little checks I used to get from magazine publishers....of course, taking up writing again would cut into my TNet time and I wouldn't like that. LOL

Thanks Trescher, you're the best!!!!

If you do not wish to pay to get it appraised, get a black light, and the diamond "glows" (kind of like bluish).

Nice finds!
