    💍 White Sapphires and White Gold! 💍

    With all the rain we've been having all of the rivers are flooded and overflowing. So this is the perfect time to share with you what might be the best find I've made since I started detecting in 2009.

    Marquise cut White sapphire with baguettes set in a 14K White gold ring!!
    Thanks again to Tom for taking me along to another great river spot!

    Thanks for lookin' & HH

    No. It's been a while since I found it. I've been having trouble posting pictures with Photobucket. That's because they are no longer a free third party photo hosting site. It seems the need $400 a year to host photos! Wow!
    I found it after work one night. June 27th.

    Thanks Dave! I've had one jewler look at it already. He puts in the mid 40s to 50s era in design. I might have it appraised. But I promise you, it won't be funding any of my trip.
    I'll be hanging on to it

    Thank you CoinKeepCheep!
    I was amazed to see in the basket and still amazed that I was lucky enough to find it.
