    This 14K Oldie made for a rewarding trip. Very similar to one I found last year. I'm told that this was a very popular style in the 40s and 50s.

    The right color indeed! GOLD!

    The ring looks like it has some age to it. Beautiful stone too.

    I read the thread title & was hoping you'd say gold. Good for you.

    Thanks Guys.

    It's a synthetic ruby Don, it is old but not as nice as the one I found when I hunted with Dan and Todd.

    I am partial to the one you found with me and Dan. Still a super find but not as nice
