:usaflag: The Smallest Diamond Ring I Ever Found!! :detecting:

[Cupajo]

The water was kicking up a bit, but I decided to take the Dual Field out anyway and after nearly three hours of being tossed about by the swells driven by the SE wind I called it a day!

Several coins and fishing sinkers and the smallest diamond ring I ever found were my reward for the struggle.

The band is marked 14K, but the band and the diamond are tiny (it stops at the first nuckle of my little finger)!

The band is so small I was surprised to see the speck of a stone.

I have found several smaller gold rings, but never with a diamond.

Nice Find

Probably lost a long time ago, it looks old.

I've seen a lot of rings in my life, but never one like this!

It would be interesting to know who it belonged to.

It does look like an old setting .

Thanks for your reply Friend,

It is still a valid find. I was recently in Turkey hunting and we found buried pottery which upon excavation the pottery was destroyed by the backhoe. Gold in hand is good.

Thanks for your replies Friends!!

I had no way to measure the ring, but it has the OD of a dime!

Possibly a Baby ring??? For a very young little girl?

HH,

A bit large for a "baby", but small for a woman.

Maybe an eight year old to a 12 year old?

Who can say?

It would be interesting to know.

Thanks for your reply!

My Response To A Comment About My Good Luck!!

I hate to dis-allusion you Friend, but over the last twenty or so hours of hard hunting and even harder digging I have found this one tiny ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pay my diggin dues regularly, by removing many bits and pieces of scrap metal from "My Beach" and once in a while get lucky and strike gold.

It's funny that the harder I work, the luckier I get!!

Yesterday I spent about four hours cruising in water nearly chest deep out close to where boats moor during the summer.

Not long ago I found an 18K ring out the in the bottomless sand there so decided to search again when conditions allowed.

Yesterday I found a pile of bottle caps one at a time and a few clad coins, a short section of steel chain and several mooring anchors!!

Closer to shore I found a silver (I think) figure of Jesus about 3/4 inch tall, a cheap earring and a few yards along a plated cross to hang Jesus on!

They weren't actually made for each other, but I found digging them up so close together an interesting occurrence.

The moon phase is right for low water and I hope to get out there again this PM.

GL&HH Friends,
