UPDATE New diamond ring found at 8 inch's

I hit a second park one of these little neighborhood parks with not much to it well after finding the slandered CLAD ($4.89) i was heading out and detecting on the way when my whites went off for a nother penny o what the hell i thought then deiced to did it i went down to 8 inches and was about to give up when out popped this White Gold 5 diamond ring. I gout right in the truck and drove to a reliable jeweler that i know and bought my ex wife's wedding ring from (that didn't work out :dontknow: ). i got there as he was getting ready to leave for the day and showed it to him he tested it and it was 14k white gold and the stones tested out to 4 1/3 carrot diamonds and a 3/4 diamond. :hello2: :hello2: :hello2: :headbang: . i sat down and was at a loss till i realised what i had found. I'm taking it back to him in the morning and get a full appraisal for the insurance needs. I was with him for about 30 minutes find what little i found out. and was nervous while driving home even thou i carry a 45 with me in the truck. but dam carring this made me nervous. but the depth that i found it makes it strange for me now. 8 inch's i never find anything in this park that deep o well mine now

here it has been about 2 weeks since i found this ring and i got it back from the Jeweler last night. he appraised the retail value at $10,500.00 :o for several factors the high grade stones and the white gold. he offered me $8,000 cash on the spot for it. I told him that i would have to see.
HE gave me the paper work to turn over to my insurance Co. and there going so get me a copy this weekend. The ring is now clean and locked up in my safety deposit box at the bank ( this now gives me great reason to have the box). hope you all have good luck out there this weekend i KNOW i will

fgfgcfbnjdfgbj (1/2 hour later) I picked my forehead off my keyboard to find those same letters imprinted on my forhead but in reverse...

I guess I passed out when I saw that you didn't sell.

WTG nice find there.
 

Re: UPDATE New diamond ring found at 8 inch's

:hello:

I think your Jeweler has made a BIG mistake ::) it's obvious the ring is made from Silver, and Glass stones :laughing7: the value therefore would be about $10.00 :P being the good guy that I am I will give you $20.00 for it :laughing9: I will PM you my address :laughing7:

Super Find :headbang: BANNER :thumbsup:

White gold?Penny signal?At 8 inches?All the white gold that I've dug rang in at the foil,or at best nickle range.Hard to believe this ring registered in the silver range and 8 inches in the ground at that.Maybe gold or silverplate over copper but usually a signal like this indicates cz's.DBULL

A bit of advice. Never take a knife to a gunfight. That's as old as the West here in the USA and just as true today! Monty
 

Re: UPDATE New diamond ring found at 8 inch's

Go get a second appraisal. On a high dollar item, anytime an expert says it's worth X, then offers you a little less (which is reasonable, there in it to make a profit) I ALWAYS get another appraisal. There's nothing more motivating to the person that lacks the knowledge than to be offered a lot of money. It could be worth twice what he appraised it for.
 

Re: UPDATE New diamond ring found at 8 inch's

I would have to say there is no need for a second opinion. Given the size of the stones and look of the ring, I would say he is at the higher end of the spectrum. I would take the 8 grand. You're NOT going to see a higher offer than that. MO. The jeweler seems honest. He could have offered 5. BANNER :notworthy:
