Found two rings...one a beaut!!

[johnnygood]

I took a trip to a local beach after I dropped off the kids at school. Glad I did!

I wasn't having much luck finding good targets hunting the wet sand to about ankle deep water, mostly just canslaw pulltabs and bottle caps. Towards the end of my hunt I pulled the silver plated peace ring. Feeling good that at least I pulled a ring so I kept going. About 15 minutes later I dug a signal near where the wet sand ends, kicked the big sand clot and saw the beautiful sight of gold and what appears to be a big diamond.
The stone on 14k gold is about a 3/4 karat, but I'm pretty sure it's not real. Had a buddy test it and it came back no good, showed it to a jeweler and he said he couldn't tell for sure, so I'm still hoping it may still be a diamond.

[jackdevil]

Dang...Even if the its not a diamond that's still a great find!

Very nice ring. That's your reward for digging all the trash. WTG.

Very nice find,if you want to know (diamonds are the hardest thing around) take it out and try to crush it with a shovel thats what I did today to some cheap earring that had a glass diamond. It shattered. Real diamonds will damage the metal you test them with.

nice ticket.....

Whether the stone is real or not the ring sure is nice... I have found 18k rings with CZ's in them...

[Seawulff]

Wow, I'm sure that was a heart stopper when you pulled that one out!

Let's hope it's all real. Still a cool find!

Beautiful looking ring, hope the diamond turns out to be real, if not you still got gold and a nice piece of jewelry! Nice job!

[johnnygood]

Yeah, I'm also hoping it's real, but I will agree it is a nice ring either way. Buddy of mine bet be a beer it is a "fugazi" like Donnie Brasco says. We're both hoping he'll be paying for that beer.

With that many prongs holding the stone and the other chips deep set in, there is a good chance that it is a diamond..........but unless it is 1carat or more, it isn't worth that much because there is a huge mark-up and no jeweler will give you what it is worth.

That's true about jewelers....I've found a diamond ring with that many prongs and turn out to be CZ , Hope that baby is real! wtg

[zeemang]

Sweet find, be happy for the gold!

[outwardjourney]

It does look like a fugazi. However, being that the band is real gold, it might not be a diamond. It very well could be a clear sapphire. I just don't see the fire or sparkle in it to be a diamond or even a CZ. Very well might be an ASHA diamond or a Moissanite ring, but even those are very much identical to a diamond.

Very nice.. he must not be much of a jeweler if he cant tell the difference..lol..
