Gold ring with ICE... park find next to a tree.

Sweet ring!! I can dig those 40 and 50 hits all day and it's always can slaw and pull tabs.
Congrats on 17 golds so far!! I'm at two. Lol
 

Congrats! Gold & diamonds that is really awesome!

The gold/diamond combo eludes me so far, i can't quite seem to get it together. :banghead:

But i'm happy for ya!!!

Yeah, that's about my average, too. 40-50 canslaws, folded gum wrappers, and pull tabs in a few hours of hunting... and about every 2-3 weeks one of these will pop up. With roughly 15 hours of hunting a week, that comes to about 40-60 hours per gold... It's the same average I've had since I started, btw... Odd that... Of course, that's a pretty wide margin of time, and I do target and focus on finding rings...

My gold count would definitely go up if I had a little more patience. Lol I give you credit for sticking with it.
 

beautiful ring! Plus it's refreshing to see a realistic valuation on diamonds. Usually you hear, "those diamonds are monstrous, must be worth at least $75,000,000!!??$$#@. Congrats bud, you can retire!!"
 

Skippy - I have to ask - might it not help to say clean the rings up - replace a missing stone then list them for auction at Ebay with a much higher reserve than what the scrap melters are offering?

I just thought their Jewellery value might be a lot higher than what scrap merchants will offer. Here scrap gold is typically 10% of spot price on the day.

I have to think that likely the scrappers are re - selling those diamonds back into the jewellery trade for higher margins than what they are paying you?.

Or

You save them up for a while and have a REALLY nice larger ring designed and made with ALL the diamonds in it, and sell off the bands and settings as scrap to get the $ to pay to have the ring designed / made then sell it again online auction?

This is just me trying to rationalize a better return for al the outlay of equipment and time!

Thoughts?
 

Wow, dang nice ring Skippy. You can be proud of that one fore sure. :thumbsup:
 

Nice ring Skippy!

You dig so many pretty nice junk jewelry items along the way. Found six pieces yesterday, not worth a hoot but keepers anyway. I thought last year about getting a table at the local farmers market and sell those tungsten, mood, or whatever rings and jewelry at a max of $5 a piece. The table is $60 a year, March to November. I also looked into etsy. Not there yet anyway.
 

I hear ya on that!
Its just finding the combo on that for me, its my white whale....for now.
Gold, i love gold, the more the better!
