Default Diamond earrings

I posted this under finds but thought since it's my best find ever i would post here.I was hunting an old football field when I got a solid pull tab reading.I had been digging a lot of tabs.To my suprise I pulled a earring from the ground.Just a few inchs over I found the mate to it.This area has gave up 15 rings and a few other trinkets over the past 5 weeks.The odd thing is there were very few coins.When I got home and cleaned up the earrings I was sure I had something special.I took them to the local jewlers and was told they were 1 carat each mounted in 14K white gold.I did a little research on this spot and found it was the fair grounds from 1891-1938.A few years later it was turned into a sports field.Some of the rings look old.

Most of the other rings are silver. 3 are 10K

Nice! It is unusual to find both ear rings!

Wow! You almost NEVER find both earrings (just think about the circumstances of losing them and it makes sense why). To find both earrings and have those earrings be 1k diamonds rather than junk is amazing!
