My hunting partner PI-Joe went to the beach for his lunch break at work and in the time he was there got a nice signal he then called me and I was on the road and he asked me to bring my scale and diamond tester to test the ring.. its heavy 11.1 grams we think white gold and its got 16 diamonds in it all the way around.. Joe thinks it maybe a custom made ring because there is no gold mark on it. Joe was working the dry sand with his IDX-Pro

Craig,
I just recently got a presidium duotester, and noticed that after it has been on a little while, it becomes unstable/ overly sensitive where the needle defects with just movement of the probe, and sometimes it does not even settle all the way down. Quite often it hovers from the bottom to the midpoint of the glass range. It makes no difference when testing diamonds, however, It seems to affect readings on other stone types. Have you ever experienced anything similar???
Best Regards,
Keith

I found a diamond ring with 60 diamonds in it...at 14 k and the jewler said they were just commercial diamonds all cut and set individually and the appraisal of $1000 + or Minus a few...if they were gem diamonds then it would be more....heres a pic....I had a guy that worked in a jewlery store look at it with an 10X and he said it was some very clean diamonds........his first thought was between 6-8 hundred....so they must be Jem cut diamonds you have!!! Mine had 4 rows of 15 in each in each row.........sweet!

Keith.. I don't keep mine on that long so I haven't had those symptoms I turn it off after testing the stones, if its on a minute that is alot
I know one thing though you have to press firmly but not too hard as to bend the wire you would think they would have made the probe a little more sturdy

Hey Crash,
You may have some static electricity build up/ interference on your diamond tester. Try wiping the unit down paying attention to the screen with one of those fabric softener dryer sheets. I know this works well on detectors with the meter and needle. Good Luck
