Big fake and beautiful gold

[SusanMN]

Until this past week, water hunting season has gotten off to a slow start for me with little to show for a half dozen hunts except a few junk rings. Last week though, I pulled this 8 ounce, enormous necklace out of the water. My excitement at seeing it in my scoop only lasted a second because as soon as I felt the weight I knew there was no way it was real. It wasn't but it does come in as the largest piece of jewelry that I have ever found.

The next day I was three hours into my hunt and had found less than 50 cents when I got a strong signal that I thought was going to be a quarter. Seeing this beauty in my scoop almost made me break my rule about not examining my finds till I get to the car, but the weight and color screamed gold. Its a big 4.7 grams of 14k, and one of the prettiest woman's rings that I have pulled up. While I am hoping to add a few more gold rings to my collection this summer, this one will certainly be on my best of summer list.

Its just one size too small, easy enough to size. But not sure yet if I want to change my name so that the initial matches..

WOW! Susan, congratulations on that beautiful 14 K ring find!

Sorry about the chain..it looks similar to the "bogus" one that I found earlier in the week.

Good luck out there!

Very nice ladies ring, too bad about the fake gold bracelet. Never know, the next may be the real thing.

Nice finds, I like the ring! All I have found for rings this year are 3 fakes. Yesterday I spent about 2 hours in a lake and found one zinc penny and some iron junk. Worse yet I got swimmers itch from the lake and have about 100 red itchy welts to show for it! So in my book Susan, you are doing good!

Oh WOW! I would have had a heart attack with either one of those finds. GOOOOOD JOB!
