**New UPDATE** HUGE freaking gold ring...

[MonkeyBoy]

Ok.. not really "my thing"i like the older stuff... but I have to admit.. seeing this pop out of the ground got my attention!!!

It is pretty heavy.. over an oz.. I included the best shots of the makers marks I could.. anyone have any idea what they mean?? This is only my second gold ring in 20 years.. the other being a 1870s ring about 1/8th the weight..
I assume it is a real diamond since it is a huge solid gold ring.. but I'll have to have it checked..

The gold has been purified, and i might be adding some other scrap to it.. not sure if I am going to sell it.. might just get the little bar back.. stamped with the weight and purity.. the diamond is being recut.. which will increase the value because of the type of cut being done? Turned out to be a very, very nice diamond!!! $$$$$

Thanks for sharing. That is one big ring, with a nice diamond. Hopefully there will be more rings to come your way. Good luck.

You hitting the beaches now, Monkeyboy? Hung up the civil war hunting, huh?

That ring is a whopper. Let us know about it's value. Congratulations!

Yeah baby!! Black socks.. golf shorts... I'm embracing my true age!! ;-) It "should" come in over $1300 all said and done.. count the cost of having it melted.. the diamond removed etc... I'm happy with it!!! The cost keeps bouncing around... bad market to be selling it seems.. :-( but hey.. pays for most of the white's Vision... that is all that counts!!

Well.. the gold has been refined.. came in a little under $400.. and the diamond is back from being recut... lost very littlei n the process and it is a really high grade.. very clear diamond.. H1 or something like that? The guess is it will bring in over a grand... maybe a little more!! soooo there is my new Vision!!! Yeah!!! They will be sending me a pic of the new cut on the diamond... I'll post it when I get it..
