Uncle came out of the sewer smelling like a rose

Posted Nov 19, 2009, 03:13:17 pm

Wish I could say I found this ring, but I did not. Mother called me today to come over a look at a ring my uncle just found while repairing his sewer line. He was replacing his clay sewer line and while busting it up he saw a glint of gold. He picked it up and what he saw made his heart skip a beat or two. What he found was a Mason Ring that weighed 24.7 grams. Shocked

It has 11 diamonds and 2 blue sapphires that are the arrow feathers and point. Just thought it would be a great post. Thank for looking. camb1

You can bet the stones are real then, Shocked

maybe 2 carats of diamond around $400.00 icon_scratch

a Carat plus Maybe another $200.00 in gold so $1,000 ring at very least. dontknow

This is a guess let me know if it is close when you get it appraised. laughing7

It was not to hard of a search, I used to run around with the daughter in High School. They were great people. I do believe her dad was a 33rd Mason at that time.
