Finally shook the curse.....

[Steve in PR]

It has been over a month since I scooped #6. I was starting to question my technique. Finally, today, from an area that was my last choice to dig, I came up with the ring (14Kt; 1.5 grams) and the silver necklace and star.

$3.86 in coin and a lot of relief......

I took it to an officual appraiser in San Juan. I appreciate that he is a certified Gemologist and is putting his reputation on the line every time he appraises, but I was too cheap to pay the $75 and up (depending on final value) that he wanted to charge me for an insurance appraisal. He would not do any other type of appraisal for me.

I looked around and I have see comparable units selling for $1800.

I know that is not the best way to appraise but I wasn't looking for an insurance appraisal. Just a ballpark.
