In North Island during week and managed to get this nice one. It's been in the water quite some time as I still haven't managed to clean it up properly.
Weights in at 16.44 grams x 9 ct with 3 sparkles.

Cheers

Thanks MW

Wasn't sure it was gold until I lifted it out of the scoop. Looked abit like Stainless. Came up around the 12.39 on the CTX which is close to $1 & $2 coins.

Hi nafcd

Thats easy to work out:

Just go to Gold Price at top of this forum page. Get the current gram price of gold and divide that by 24 (24 carats in pure gold). Then multiply that figure by 9 (this ring being 9 carat). Then muiltiply that by the weight of the ring. Theres your value. You just have to guest the stone weight and deduct that.

Hope that helps
