He said it sold for $8000 cash so that may be the only photo. I would have liked to know the color, cut, and clarity. It might have been worth much, much more.

I don't think he sold it...I think he meant he found them retailing for $12,000 and seen them selling for $8,000...I may be wrong but that's how I read it.

Wow that was a GREAT find.

Shooting jewelry is a very tough thing to do especially with diamonds. My brother shoots rings for advertising and it is not a simple task like shooting a coin or relic. Try shooting it with a tripod against white or black. That being said nice find.

DrJoePrime · May 7, 2015

Hey Ron ! BIG Congrats! :hello2:

Interesting that the humble Sand Shark found it and not the high powered Garrett ATX.

No disrespect intended as I have both of those machines too...and the Shark is the more fun one to use (although I prefer the Dual Field).

Of course this deserves a Banner...and hoping a better photo..that ring really deserves it!

I've had issues as well trying to photo diamond rings i've found. Never can quite get that right shot.
(Examples attached, including 1 honker quite like Ron's ring) ... Hard to beat the sharks for the bling!

Well done Ron!

the only way I could photograph Diamonds was With allot of Light & No Flash.

Then Start Snapping pics in Macro from all angles till I got a Crisp enough pic
