Default Finally got that gold monkey off my back.....

and I think it came with diamonds. I found this ring Saturday at an old school I've been hunting. This is the same school I was expecting to find lots of silver but I haven't found any, not even a wheat penny, but lots of deep clad from the 60's. It's very small so it's obviously a childs ring. The stamp on the inside of the band is very small. I'm pretty sure it says 10K. It also has 7 very small stones that may be diamonds. Sorry for the blurry pic, seems my camera has some focus problems. I'll give an update when I have it looked at by the jeweler.
