Nice little 10K gold ring

[mindcrime1988]

I detected a lake beach today and before I could take a full swing, I found this sweet 10K gold ring. I was at my new spot for literally five seconds! Now that's a great way to start off a four hour hunt. Unfortunately all I was able to find the rest of the time were modern coins worth $1.54. Not sure what type of stone is set in the ring. It is quite translucent but has a very light green almost yellow tint to it.

Sweet little ring, congrats.
How many times this has happened like that, first target then inch.
But we'd never just go home after the prize was first up.

Nice ring find! Aquamarine?

Nice ring find! Aquamarine?

I think of a bluish hue for aquamarine. I'm not seeing that but more of a yellowish color. Perhaps it's a topaz stone? I will take it in to a jeweler one of these days and I'm sure they'll be able to tell me what it is right away.
