This is the ring in my previous post (Tesoro forums) where I thought I threw it away while sorting. Found a few weeks ago in a park field while just roaming freely. I set it aside while waiting for my newly ordered diamond tester to arrive (BTW the diamond is real) :clapping:

Ring stamped P14k which at first i thought was "Plated" but after research I found it was
Google said:
"Plumb" or true 14K gold It is a mark indicating exactly 14 karats of gold, no less, no more. A mark of quality.

The ring was smashed flat when I dug it up, I tired to straighten it but unfortunately cracked it below the diamond. Anyhow thanks for looking once the weather gets cooler here in AZ I hope to add to my gold collection. :) Happy Hunting!


Originally found with Compadre 5.75" coil on "Iron" discrimination approximately 3" deep! Found it the second time with my eyes and determination. :)

Couldn't get camera to focus for some reason today, sorry for poor quality.

A cheap and dirty way to check if a diamond is real, is to hold it under a black light. If it flouresces (shows a different color, such as green, read, yellow, etc), then it's a diamond. And if its a real diamond, then the mount is also almost certainly real precious metal - gold or platinum, etc. Real diamonds are rarely mounted in silver.

There is no diamond substitute that flouresces, including Moisanite, which fools the common heat tester.

However, if it does not flouresce, that does not mean it's not a diamond. Very high quality diamonds do not flouresce. If such a stone is mounted in 14k gold or above, then it's probably real, unless it was replaced with a fake for some reason. If it's mounted in silver or base metal, then almost certainly its not real. If its mounted in 9,10, or 12k...unlikely a sizeable stone of high quality would be mounted in a low carat ring. Probably a CZ.
 
thanks for that tip Scaupus :)
