My favorite treasure find, although it wasn't with a metal detector, I used a sieve to recover this one for the guy that lost it.. 500 dollar reward was being offered, only got 80 bucks LOL. Before returning it I took it to a jeweler for an apraisal, the jeweler said if it was a real ruby due to the quality and color, something like 13k-15k per karat and such a big stone with a heavy wrapping of 24k gold.
