🥇 BANNER My best find in 20 years!!! Incredible Ring!!!

[rayrayvegas]

After yesterday's great barber half find I was going to take a break today but the detecting bug woke me up early and said lets go, and sooooo glad I did. I have found many rings over the years but not any that I can really brag about, till today! Was going to head to my barber lot when on my way there I took a different route about 5 minutes away from it. Passing thru a neighborhood that dates back to the early 1900's when I seen one of the homes had recently been tore down and a empty lot was screaming at me to stop. After a very slow start and a few wheats and a mercury dime later I was thinking, not as good as I thought it was going to be, than bam! A strong 81-82 on my At pro, dug down about 4" when I seen it, still not sure what I had till I picked it up and realized I found my best ring ever. Looks from the style to be from the 1920's, Amethyst and diamonds and is 10k marked. Taking to Jewelers this week for cleaning and appraisal. I am one happy guy.

They don't usually put high end stones in low end gold. 10k Gold is only 41% Gold. Your more likely to find real valuable stones in 14K+ Gold (58% Gold or higher).
Still a beautiful ring and a great find, not a $20,000 ring from 1860. Still a very pretty ring and at least 10k Gold, great find !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

thanks for the comment, guess some previous appraisals on rings has got me all over the place, few years back had a nice 18k ring checked if the main setting was a diamond ended up being CZ, while on the other hand a family ring passed down that was 10k had a 1.5 carat diamond setting. Go figure. Either way it was a thrill diggin it up and doubt I will ever dig one up like this again.

Even if its not the $10,000 ring, its a great find and exciting

Just got home and had to look at her again, going to a jeweler tomorrow I trust who I have done buisness with in the past. Anticipation is killing me! So seriously you jewelry experts out there, what do you think of the stones and is there anyway I can check if they are real diamonds? Wish I would of bought that diamond tester now, just dont find alot of diamond jewelry. Lol

I bet there's a pawn shop around that might give you the time of day if you walked in with it!

 

[JimDon]

In my opinion this is the best looking ring from a design perspective that I have ever seen. Simply beautiful. A very nice deep purple amethyst too. I know you hope it is worth a lot, and I do too, but I don't think so. Either way it is an incredible find that you should be very proud of.

 

[The Sanddigger]

It's beautiful. Congrats!

 

[Millerthebugkiller]
