always remember your first finds with pride, just think that ring may have been lost forever without you. my first ring was a junker with fake diamonds and sapphires, next one was a white gold ring I thought was the aluminum ring off a soda bottle, my hands were too cold to notice it was quite heavy.
a month later I found a real gold ring with 7 sapphires and 13 diamonds. that first ring was just priming the pump. you got some decent finds and are definately honing your skills, thanks for sharing them with us.
