My kids were nagging me today to go in the woods to roast some marsh mellows. So we went for a walk up into the woods. While we were picking up sticks my husband uncovered a big diamond ring barried in the dirt. The band says 18 carrot and the diamond looks to be about 2 carrots big. OMG I am in shock!! We were in the middle of know where too...

  lol I was just thinking that I'd be creeped out to find jewelry buried in the dirt...hopefully it doesn't belong to someone that was buried there due to an untimely death.
  
  I wonder what chances are greater....finding a dead body or a diamond ring?

  That was my first thought, you can not keep it, it is not yours to keep. Darkside is right, Police would treat it as a Clue, has there been anyone missing, dumpsites are stereotype places for dumping people.
  I can not believe that you would wear it. It will not bring you good fortune, at least try and find out who owned it.
  With the risk of sounding thick, why does your Husband not just buy you, your own one.
  This post sickens me. It may be a link to someone that someone cares about. Possibly the only Link.

  I would definitely get it appraised...it's the only way to know if it's real. If you decide to keep it and it's real, it's worth something substantial and the wise thing to do is to get it insured.
  
  Also, are there any engravings on the inside other than 18k? Sometimes you can find out which jeweler created the piece.

Also, when you get it appraised, have the jeweler do the appraisal in front of you. (Stones can be switched)

And most importantly, DON'T tell him you are wondering if it's real or not. Just say you want to get the value of it appraised. Go to several jewelers and have this done.

  Unfortunately, there are some slimeball jewelers out there. And, due to the current economic times, I'm sure some are getting more and more desperate. My father is a jeweler and used to be in business with his father. As far as I know, my father is honest (at least with his business), but I know that my grandfather wasn't always forthright with customers based on stuff my father told me a while back.

  Mishaposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  In other words, don't trust them! Don't sell it to the first jeweler, as girly says. Get a quote from a few, come back home, sleep on this, and then ask a double price from the one that gives the most, and see what he says. I am serious.
  
  If this ring is for real, they will offer you all kinds of seemingly great deals, just to make you surrender it without thinking. Like only today they have a great client who will give you twice the regular price, etc. Don't buy into it, it's a standard trick. Make sure you have several quotes, and then bargain as hard as you can.

  Well, theoretically you can place an announcement in a local paper, not telling any detail except for that it is a ring with a diamond, and require the callers to describe it in detail. You are risking a robbery though.

I don't know what the law is in the states; but in the UK if you hand something into the police and it isn't claimed with in 3 months you get to keep it. The chances are it won't be claimed. That way you can stay morally incorrupt and rich.

Get it appraised. If it's worth a lot then consider reporting it to the police. My concern isn't so much that someone has lost it, but if there was any foul play involved. If it were on the side of the road or some public place, then it's probably lost. But out in the woods... <cue sound of owl hooting> then maybe, just maybe, it could be evidence.

Can you go to the local library to check records of local papers for missing people?

Don't talk about it publicly though.

I'd do a bit of research and have that valuation done. Who knows, if it is the worst case scenario you could write a book about it and make enough money to buy you a dozen rings.

  Awesome advice, darkside. Also, you may get a reward if the police could ID the owner. (If they're still breathing...) Sentimental value is priceless. I would be super thankful if I lost my grandmother's ring and it was returned. I once lost a brand new smartphone on a evening out and someone returned it to me. I was SOOOO shocked lol, I expected it was gone forever. I gave them a generous sum for their efforts.
  
  After you get it appraised and if it is genuine, I'm wondering if you could call the police anonymously to ask if someone had filed a report for a diamond ring. (I don't know what states return property to the finder if left unclaimed for a few months...I think items typically go to auction)

At any rate, since you state that many folks are up in the woods, likely someone had a break up, and chucked it. Hey maybe she caught her lover up those trails with some other girl. Yah just never know.
