My Best Find, Big Diamond Ring Apraised @ 4500$

[Seener53]

Hi everyone just wanted to share yesterday's hunt with y'all. So I raced down to the beach as the frozen tundra loosened her grip on the land for the last two days. Things started off great as I scored a sterling ring with a black stone then a sterling pendant weighing 7 grams and after that a big gold ring marked 14k at 7.8 grams with a big center stone. Then the waves picked up and chased me out. I thought for sure the rock was going to be a cz. Today I took it to a jeweler for an appraisal and to my surprise the diamond tested real!!! I was told its an old deep cut stone from the 1940s in a newer setting, G/H in color and 1 carat in size and worth 4,500$

All the times my wife game me crap about detecting so now I can finally shut her up lol! She was a Debbie downer for the longest time, she actually wants to steal my stone and put it in her setting. Now shes a believer hehe, I decided to give her the stone, happy wife = more detecting time for me

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting to all

Thanks terpfan, when I was digging this one I thought it was gonna be a can top because of the strong signal it gave, so you never know

Nice ice! See my post above with a similar find on an historic property--thought it was going to be junk too when I dug. My wife calls my finds scrapnel--the diamond ring didn't change her mind much either.

After you found this ring, my reply to her now would be, "Look what I found! Hope you and your friends can do as well. As for me, I'm gonna enjoy this ring with my dorky friends."

HH!
