OH MY GOODNESS !!! 130 stone 10K diamond ring found today !!

[TORRERO]

One of my best gold rings I found today in a playground (unknown location)
Although the stones are tiny, I seem to be able to count 5 across, and 26 side to side... equaling 130 stones !!
Marked 10K Kc ? Does anyone know what Kc is ?
Pictures of the other stuff dug, and the Gold Ring... the other ring is not gold, and no silver was found that I know of...
Yuppie !!

Holy smokes!!! Beautiful ring. Congrats.
I almost feel bad for the jeweler that had to put all of those stones in! 🤪
That was one heck of a playground. Lots of blingage. 👍

I was looking for that link.
KC is still 5% gold over silver.
kaleidoscopic crystals, is a new one for me though.

Very nice find. I really need better playgrounds around me found 3 junker kids rings today but did manage to find a perplexing buffalo nickel that is very beaten up. Nice job!

DEUS 1 Elliptical coil, numbers were 87-88 I thought it might be a nickel, although they are normally a solid 86..

Actually the odds are pretty low that you turn up a ring like that, I'm thinking that the odds are about 1 in a 1000 that something that nice turns up someplace.
I hunt a lot of playgrounds and most are worked over pretty good. So normally a few pennies, and the occasional dimes, nickels and quarters.. this one produced 5 rings and only one was gold, probably the most rings from a playground in 10 years..
We hit a playground two years ago that produced more $$ than I've ever seen, probably over 100 quarters, (between me and my partner) with tons of dimes nickels and who knows how many pennies
And gold rings .... 0, gold chains 0, gold of any kind, 0...
you just never know..

I'm not sure if its Kenneth Cole, BUT .... it acid tested to 10k so there's that !!

A light rub on the stone?
10K 5% plate would produce Like results.
This is why they do file grooves, or high volume places will have XRF Scanners.

No light rub, also just a question... if you believe its plated, why would a company with a named reputation not stamp it 10kgp ? which is stuff I've gotten in the past ...

The link in post #5 reply answer that very question, did it not?

Nice find CONGRATS

That is obviously a good 10k stamp. If it passes the acid test, I'd have no concerns. The Kenneth Cole hallmark is a script KC, nothing like the Kc on your ring. Super find!
