Heavy 14k bracelet with 54 diamonds,Ben Franklin half,big silver ring" UPDATED"

Started out at 5:30 AM because of the afternoon heat! I decided to stop by the play ground with wood chips that I usually hit every so often. It was still dark and all the lights around the play ground were off for some reason, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. After a half hour into it I got a tin foil reading behind the swings, I moved the chips aside and thought I found a cheap bracelet until later when it got a little more light and the 14k could be seen and also it had 54 diamonds, Woo Hoo!! I wonder how much it is worth? Then it was time to move to the old wood store tear down located by a very old church. I only found a 1928 wheat and a 1920 buffalo nickel at that location. Then I just drove around for a while until I saw an old building with a grass section running around it between the side walk and the street. Thought it would be a good place to try for a silver coin before I quit the hunt. After working almost all the way around the area, I got a silver quarter/half reading. The ground was hard as a rock, so the digging was difficult. After almost having to chisel down 9", a large silver edge appeared, it was a Ben Franklin half 1962D. I did scratch it though >:(. On the way back around to the car, I found a thick/heavy 925 bent up ring. There is a picture before and after I repaired the ring. Thanks for looking!

Awesome bracelet! Wonder how many grams that baby weighs?
I put it on a gram scale and it said 28 grams or 1 oz if I set it on oz, is that a lot?

It's gold value alone is about $450 not considering the 54 diamonds.....also looks vintage, could be worth some major bucks!
 
Re: Heavy 14k bracelet with 54 diamonds, Ben Franklin half, big silver ring,+ more!

Wow, great finds! Lucky you on that bracelet...

There are 31 grams in a troy ounce.

Diamonds are pretty light...wont throw off your gold weight too much
You have a nice chunk of gold there! thrillathahunt is right about the gold value...

If the clasp works right and all the diamonds are there, it may be worth taking it in for an appraisal (about $35 to $50 bucks).
If you plan on selling it, it will help...that way you'll have the information on what carat and clarity the diamonds are, and what the retail value is. It WILL help to get the most for it, where ever you sell it

Sweet hunting, the bracelet is fine, ole Ben is better with a scratch on him in your pocket than
no scratch and still in the ground. You will know better next time.

WoW nice find.
 
Re: Heavy 14k bracelet with 54 diamonds, Ben Franklin half, big silver ring,+ more!

notice the big bling was found on a TIN FOIL SIGNAL.

i ignore tin foil signals

99 per cent of the time it would be foil or crapo

BUT OOOHHHH THAT 1 PER CENT !

Nice finds, especially the tennis bracelet. I found one last year that was 14K but 63 CZ's instead of the real deal. I hope yours test out to be diamonds. Let us know...
