Default Gold Diamond Ring In My Yard

Hello. I got a new coil today and went out in my yard to try it out. I had already done the yard when we first bought the place not finding anything. But I wanted to try it and it was dark out so I figured what the heck. So I get this low tone hit. Not expecting anything good I start to dig. About 6 inches down my flashlight hits something shiny. I pulled it up and was in amazment. I didnt know what it was besides it was a ring. It was fithy dirty so I rushed inside leaving the detector outside. Washed it off. It says Customized 14k in it. Has a bigger size stone in the middle and 2 small ones on the sides. So I run down to my room and grab my diamond tester which I bought on a wim and dont use much. Bam real diamonds all three. They are Super Clear to. Very nice ring I was shocked. The middle diamond is about 10 to 12 points.
