$10 says the jeweler's actual words were "real diamond, I'll give you $100 for them".

I've never heard of dumpster trespass before.  I thought garbage was "public" and that's how PI's and the cops get some info?  Did they change this or is it different between dumpsters/garbage cans?

Dumpsters are not garbage.  They are closed containers on private property.  They are no different under the law in many places than storage sheds are, especially if they are inside an enclosure.

Garbage is usually defined as something like "placed out on the curb, alongside or contained in trashbags, on the trash collection day for that location".

Kind of like "it's my crap, come pick it up" vs "it's my crap, you take it".

Wasn't a dumpster. A garbage pile on side of road. Dumpster diving just sounds better than garbage picking, to me, anyway. Also found, in an antique looking gem covered jewelry box, what appears to be a diamond ring, a diamond necklace, and two gold bracelets, a fossil watch, many more earrings (none diamond looking), a silver looking braclet, various gold and silver chains, a gold and diamond ring of some sort (too small to be an earring, really don't want to think about where it might have came from). Again, going to take it all down to the jewelers at some point, again tell him that I'm not interested in selling, and ask if any of it is real. Probably isn't, but its free to check.
