Got off work early so decided to go to a nearby town after work.
I had looked at it on google earth and saw an area i wanted to try.
It was right in the center of four Baseball fields,there was a tot play area right in the center with a fence around it.
got there after work and started hunting it getting Nickle after Nickle,Quarters,pull tabs.
Had completely hunted it and hadn't found one piece of jewelry.
The play area had one entrance, so i stepped outside it thinking i would try on my way to the truck.
swung seven or eight sweeps with no signals at all, then got a low tone.
Looked, it registered 12-02 on the screen.
i had been digging quite a few of these and getting tiny beads and sequins off clothing. i had been hoping to find a small gold charm off a necklace at this vid number.
Anyway, this one was sharp and loud,not like most of the 12-02 readings i had gotten.
I dug,shook the clod a little and saw this.

I was stunned because i knew then that it was a ring!
looked at it and i could see some markings but no numbers.
The markings are JWBR which i found out after i got home is the hallmark of Verigold ltd.
anyway,one of my first thoughts was to get it tested.
a friend of mine i use to work with had a pawn shop on the way back home,so i stopped back by.
He tested it at 14K,and the tiny white diamonds around the Black Diamonds were all real!
I was so excited when i left after digging it,I got about ten blocks down the street, and happened to wonder if i got my digger,so i stopped and looked.
No Digger,
I went back and got it!
The Ring was made to be a two band set, it has a place in the bottom and under the stones where another band is suppose to fit.
anyway, i am very excited, I never write this much LOL
enjoy.
