A guy I work with wanted me to hunt for his property markers and I said he could borrow my detector. At first he was hesitant but I talked him into it. He has a metal detector but it won't pick up a car at 6", lol...... I thought he would like it and want one too. Any how I stopped at the dump on the way home to pay the guy that picks up my garbage and he asked if I wanted some wicker furniture. I walked over to look at it and started loading it in my truck and something gold colored caught my eye about 8' away. I sat the chair down and just stared at that ring laying there in the gravels. After about 10 seconds I decided the only way I was going to prove it was a cheap ring was to pick it up.....DANG, it has 14K stamped inside it. Seen it's better days for sure but it's gold. It still has 7 small diamonds but the bigger ones are gone. Looks like it was crushed by something. Ya think she hit it with a hammer????? LOL!!! Keep your eyes on the ground. You just never know what's laying there. Have a good one y'all
