14K Iced Out Engagement Necklace - 30 Diamonds!

[UnderMiner]

Never found one as fancy as this before. A 14K yellow and white gold engagement necklace iced out with 30 diamonds to a girl named Amy.
Didn't think it was anything special at first, initially thought it was just a plated kids thing. When I got home I washed it and it was then that I knew it was something much more! Did some tests and it confirmed as 14K! Also found the "14K" stamped on it which helped too, man was I surprised! Found at a beachfront park by the sea with the ExCal-II. Weighs in at 7.4 grams!



More pics of the back and side of it... It has a white gold front which is welded with gold beads to a yellow gold back.
It's a little squished but still very cool:


Later in the afternoon I had another surprise and another first! Closer to home I decided to explore more East River frontage. I walked along the low tide mark and there washed up in with the leaves was a $1 bill! But it had a blue seal on it! It was a 1957 Silver Certificate! I've never seen one of these in circulation let alone washed up in the water... still trying to figure out how it got where it was.

Wow what a great find with that chain, amy must be mad

That's what I call a great day.

That 14K necklace is fantastic but I'm amazed at that bill. I mean, what are the odds of that washing up and you just happen to be walking by and looking down at that very moment??
Maybe there's a big cache of old bills out in the water somewhere. You should definitely go back and poke around some more at that spot.

Congrats on an awesome hunt and awesome finds. That's definitely one of those unforgettable hunts.

I did just that! I walked for a few miles and back looking for the source! I even checked near the sewer pipes, but never found any cache of old bills. I ended up concluding that someone must have found the silver certificate by chance with their change, went to show it to their friends, but during the "handing around" process a strong wind caught it and it got blown out to sea Just my theory.

Well, regardless of how it got there, it came to you in the end. That's all that matters now.

You need to go buy a lottery ticket! Awesome find dude!! Can't get over that silver certificate!! Killer!

 

[jewelerguy]

great necklace, but the silver certificate is bizarre. it's really rare to ever find one in circulation any more, but floating around in the water.... how strange

 

[park pirate]

Wow nice job Underminer ...

I still have the hope that it is part of a cache' of treasures that some burglars may have tossed into the water. My theory the bill, being light, floated away from the cache' while the heavy gold and silver coins stayed relatively where they were dumped. I've been tracking tides, currents, and wind direction to try to figure out "the source" of where this bill may have come from. It's a far fetched thought but for the past 24 hours I couldn't get this idea out of my head. I searched the waterfront today in the opposite direction I did yesterday but it didn't turn up anything of value. I will search more tomorrow undoubtedly.

Awesome finds, Love the bling and am still amazed at that eyeball find. Hope you bought a lottery ticket with the luck you had.

Nah, the only time I play the lottery is when I find discarded lottery tickets on the ground that just happen to be winners (this has happened 2 times in my life, but the payout for each was just $10 and $2 respectively )
