i took some time off detecting recently. my DFX stopped working and i hate using my other detector. well tried out the other(IDX pro) and did ok. dug a 1903 dime last week and found this bracelet yesterday. i don't think they are diamonds, probably topaz.

    image Wow Demodigger.... might be the picture, but I thought Topaz was usually yellow.... I would have them tested to be sure. Cheers, RickO

    Natural Imperial topaz is yellow. There are other varieties as well, probably in the dozens or so for topaz. There are numerous shades of blue such as swiss, london, and sky. There is "flamingo" topaz, "mystic" topaz, and "evergreen" topaz. To the best of my knowledge, only white and Imperial are completely natural untreated colors. The rest are created through heat or irradiation.image

    My wife walked by my computer screen while I had your picture up.
    She's went "Wow" and then asked "When are you going out with that finder thing again"

    1903 was such an awesome year in US history, too. Go Wright Brothers!
