My Best 9 Ever? 14k/star Sapphire


Recommended Posts

I learnt about the deeper targets showing negative from gold prospecting with the Nox, and it carries through to coin hunting too, you're onto it.

Simon,

You and I chatted about this often.  Unfortunately some of your threads might not be around any more to be shared but interestingly enough there are pieces of some of your stuff hanging out in those people who commented on it at the time.

Here is a negative that stayed a negative but it is the deepest target I've ever dug.  It happened to be a large piece but I'm still glad for the practice at digging that deep of a target.

This iron cap was over two feet deep.  Before this I had already found a couple of cheapie rings.

On a previous day I fished first at two different beaches.

And then I found a gold/diamond band that day!

Yes, but I am somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico right now.

Most of the time about I am about 600 feet down in the water. Doing some inspections on some rigs here, but I will be back next month.

Super nice fish, and ring! did you found out if the sapphire is real? 

I got the ring 'appraised' and it was said that the sapphire is a man made star sapphire because it is opaque.   The value of the ring was still stated to be $1500 at the first place I went to which isn't too shabby.

Most star sapphires are synthetic, but still beautiful... and apparently valuable too 😄 Great find
