Golden Virginia Beach

I wanted  to show you all one of my favorite finds. This one came from when I was stationed in Norfolk, VA and would take frequent trips to Virginia Beach coinshooting and finding the odd bits of dropped jewelry.

It is a 14K solid gold necklace pendant with 3 diamonds in it. I was ecstatic when I saw it glimmer in my hand as I sifted through the white sand but knew that I had to keep my game face on because a little excitement is all you need to get a handful of people surrounding you wanting to see what you found. At that point, it can become a hassle so it is better to keep a straight face and play it cool.

I took it to a jeweler who tested the authenticity of the diamonds and he estimated it to be around 1/2 KT total between the three. He offered me $500 on the spot but I declined because I am a little weird and like to keep my treasures.
