found the exact ring on a website it sells for 925.00$ i wonder if its worth more than just scrap
If you sell it on eBay most likely, or sell it on Craig's List, also might get more than scrap from a pawn shop.
The gold value of that ring is $60+ at today's gold price, and then whatever you could get for the diamonds if anything.

possibly begin to decline as this gold enters the market
It will be a long time before that gold, if the surveys are accurate, enters the market.
Gold on surveys and gold in the hand are very different, it takes a long time to mine gold and they aren't even started yet, and once they do start 31 million metric tons will come out of the ground very SLOWLY!
Once they start what they mine in a week or month will be a lot to one person, or even 10 to 100 people, but for the market it will not be a huge amount.
They will be lucky to mine 2 to 3 metric tons in a year's time, if that, once they are up and getting the gold, and it could take a year are two to get too the gold and up to speed.

Thanks guys, I already have a black sand magnet gadget and it works well, it does suck up some fine gold in with the black sand but not terrible. I was hoping more to get something to try make it so I don't need to rip my sluice out of the river every hour when it clogs up with black sand as if I leave it in I'm losing gold, sometimes I can clog it up in as little as 20 minutes we just have crazy amounts of black sand. I collected it one day and filled up half a bucket with black sand in a days sluicing.
My dealer also sells this gadget that looks pretty good, but again it's for after the fact, I want something to help prevent, that first item the Magnetrap seems good as I can pop it on and off easily without taking the sluice out of the water.
This is the other black sand separator, this one looks good.
That's made by the same guy who makes the Magic Bit video I posted.
That works really well but it would take a long time to do a lot of blacksands that "might" have a little bit of gold, if the blacksands are holding a lot of gold it would be great tool to have.

Trying to embed video but failed.

I was doing a little more searching to see if the sluice magnet i posted above is still being sold anywhere and it seems it's not....but I found this little device for separating blacksands from gold after the panning stage instead of the plunger type magnets which tends to pickup gold along with the blacksands.
It seems to work rather well at leaving the gold behind
-
I haven't seen this product before but years ago there was a magnet device being sold that was suspended across your sluice box and hung down into the top of the water flow and would lift the blacksands up to it allowing the gold to stay down at the bottom of the flow.
It was basically super magnets inside a PVC tube with attachments on the sides to attach it with, you could easily make a similar one for your sluice.
I don't think it's still being sold but here's a link to one that says "Sold Out"

I also found a video of it in action.

Good idea but kids are picked up and dropped off at their houses either by the buses or the parents. Not like the old days were we had to walk 10 miles up hill both ways in 6ft of snow.
I'm not sure but I think he referring too public transportation type buses, not school buses, but I could be wrong.

Here's the interview I saw.

His dog were really not helping like dog should. Funny, when the man finally got the roo down on the ground the video stopped. I guess they didn't want to anger PETA showing the rest of the video of the man beating the crap out of the roo.
I heard the man says in a interview that the reason he got into it with the kangaroo was because the kangaroo was attacking/going after his dogs and he was defending them!

Those .35 Remington cartiriges can also be used in this....
I own one of these, this one is not mine, mine is in storage and needs some TLC but still functions quite well, it's a Remington Model 14 Pump Carbine, it came in a full size rifle as well, yes that's right it's a pump action rifle, Remington also later made the Model 114 .35 Pump Rifle, here's a photo of one.

The V-nickel only lasted to 1913, so maybe WWI counterfeit, but it could also be a legit US die. There have been cases of US dies stolen and sold on the black market. Some have been used to produce fake (not produced by a US mint) collectable coins.
4 hours ago, Denny said:If it were a counterfeit die why would they cut off the stamp part of the die? Wouldn’t it be easier to just toss it out.
The U.S. mint would cut off the die stamp and destroy it. Yes maybe this one slipped by.The US mint sells dies without the stamp they would cut that off and sell the rest of the die to the public.

I don't think it's any part of an official die, it could be from a counterfeit die but if so wasn't very well done since it seems it's off centered to my eye.
I'm not sure if everyone knows but a coin die is a "rod", (not just a thin piece of metal like this one, the rod is for strength when the coin get stamped so the image doesn't get distorted), with the reverse impression of the coin engraved into the end of the rod and there's a die for each side, so if this was ever a die it was indeed cut off the rod.

Brass pins hammered down.
Did you use recycled scales or did you make those and do the engraving/Logo?

That was going to be my suggestion...XRF spectrometer

Still hard to say from a photo, but if it's a meteorite it would have to be a iron meteorite just looking at the "window" you filed which shows a solid metal, but it should be more highly attracted to your magnet than what you have described,
-
Need a photo of where you "filed" it?

Hi I am fairly new to metal detecting I took the hobby up from my grandad so I went out and bought the equinox 800 metal detector in January this year and ever since I have tried to get used to it but just can't seem to get the hang of it as there is to many settings to figure out and I am just wanting a detector I can just switch on and go. I have been told the Xp Orx metal detector is a great machine for beginners I have been offered to swap my equinox 800 for the Xp Orx is it worth it as what I just said don't want to have to muck about with settings on a detector just want to beable to switch it on and go.
I haven't used either of the detectors you're asking about....BUT if you do swap keep in mind that there's a big price difference in the 2 detectors, Equinox 800 around $1000, the Xp Orx around $650, just an FYI I compared the prices on KellyCo's website.
So if I were doing such a swap I would want some money added in the deal along with the Xp Orx.

Those English are lucky to have such great hunting grounds with ancient stuff to find, this woman just sniffed out a 2000 year old silver penis with her metal detector
Looking at her photo she seems rather happy to finally find a penis!

It's not gold and also not a meteorite the best I can tell from a photo.

I have a trowel/digger similar to the Fiskars posted by rvpopeye, mine is made by Ames, they don't make the version I have any longer but they now have a similar version called Ames Planter's Pal which the blade looks as mentioned very much like the Fiskars and my older version Ames, I still like my older version better, I bought it at least 10 to 15 years ago at Home Depot and can't seem to wear it out, I've only resharpened it once, I even cut down a small tree (about 2" thick) with the serrated edge one time in my yard.
Here's a eBay link to the Ames Planter's Pal, it seems to be around $15 and up everywhere else.

Which makes me wonder even more, why are the new ones double the price?
It's because of Covid and Russia invading Ukraine.

I heard a rumor that the only reason Parker went to new Zealand was to try and find a phone that a girl he had a secret affair with thought she lost it while on a ski lift a couple of years ago, but he decided to search the entire island after failing to find the phone after searching all the ski lifts in the country, the rumor also stated the phone is reported to have pictures of Parker naked rolling in gold dust and he's trying to protect the people of New Zealand from going blind if they happen to find the phone and view the photos!!

This was made by the same fellow who made the Cache Pro Elite desciminating pinpointer/probe which was way ahead of it's time. It had an 8" tip-only sensitive probe that could discriminate ferrous and non-ferrous wih out digging if the ground was soft enough. Unfortunately production of all his products has stopped and there are only a couple of the trowels being sold in his ebay store without the electronics installed.
I wish someone would make an updated probe like this. The only two discriminating pinpointers currently on the market require being within an inch or two of the target to correctly discriminate and they are both a little wonky to use. In a very digging restricted situation like my local parks, this probe is a time and dig saver.
I found this website that says they sell refurbished Cache Pro Elite pin pointers, not sure if it's still doing so or if it's legit, but there's the link.
I clicked on the "Buy Now" link to see what would happen and it took me to a PayPal login page, so it may still be legit, they have a contact page and you could try and contact them first if you're interested, it's a email contact system.

It's not called "Double Image", it's called "Double Vision", the name is right on the bottom of the car in the photo posted by Kaolin washer.
