Yes I would give it back ----it is a family heirloom. I''ve got doctors appointments tomorrow otherwise it might fun to join the madness which I am sure is about to occur.

Having lived in Daytona as a kid, I can assure you if you go anywhere near the pier with wave action it will chew you up. The beach usedta be wide enough I'd ride my bike past the pier casino at low tide. Barnacles a foot thick. Forget it, unless it's a really low tide.

I have seen quite a few large sharks off the pier taking the fish the fisherman are reeling in. I wouldn't go down there.

I just want to see the news when someone does find it (If they do). Funny how you hear about stuff like this and then you never hear if someone has found it!

Yes, I'd give it back. There is supposed to be a reward of several thousand and a ring like that with a rare "orange" diamond would be extremely hard to sell. Any one reputable would know it wasn't yours and anyone disreputable would not give you anything near it's worth. Besides like someone else said - it is an heirloom and passed down for several generations. I'd give it back.

ever see the movie "its a mad mad world"? -----I'd say its best to return it for the reward (if it was honestly lost and / found)-- the several grand "reward" for it would be above the melt price of the gold in the ring and theres no way in he double hockey sticks you'ld be able to move that one of a kind type of diamond on the black market most likely its "laser" marked or at the very least "recorded" ---trust me.

First off, I would give it back and take the reward (and pictures). But if it is an old family heirloom, it probably isn't laser marked. If someone really wanted to fence the stone, they could get rid of it at a discount in the diamond district in NYC. Still, the right thing to do would be to return it. Perhaps, the reward might even be increased. I still don't think it is in the shifting sand rather it is in a safety deposit box in a relatives/friends name in a different city.

My mother called me to tell me what she'd heard on the TV about this ring... I thought it sounded "too good to be true" from the jump. Nevertheless, I'm heading down to Daytona on Sunday and might poke around the area... just to be sure!

I would return it and hope for a big reward. Unless I could sell it for a hundred grand cash. I am sure those cheap insurance people will do anything to find it so they won't have to pay the guy. That's just me.

Contact the insurance company and negotiate a 10% finder's fee. Where's Me Grog?

In the Bible, the book of Leviticus, chapter 6 says that if you find lost property you are to return it to the owner or it is a sin. If you find property and lie about it and are discovered, you are to return the object plus a fifth of its value to the owner..... In my opinion, if you want to be blessed by God, it might be a good idea not to intentionally sin against what he has commanded in the Bible. With that said, it is obvious that not all found property can be returned to the rightful owner, because you cannot tell who it belongs to. However, if you know who the rightful owner is or can figure out who it is, then I would suggest that it is proper to return it. Just so you know that my actions are consistent with my convictions, I personally have found a total of 14 gold rings since I started in this hobby 3 years ago. Only one was identifiable as belonging to a particular person. It was a highschool class ring and probably my heaviest piece of 14k gold to date. I found it in Key West, Fl and the person lived in Toledo, Ohio. I was able to find the girl on the internet at her high school web site and returned it to her at my own expense. No reward, just a note of thanks and a clear conscience that I did what was right. Each person must decide for themselves by what standard to live, God does not force himself on us, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord..... May you all be blessed by finding true treasure.
