eye find gold ring?

[runninnavaho]

It fits me perfectly but there is no stamp on the inside. Its scratched because I found it in a parking lot while working today. The scratches are deep and there is no sign of plating it looks solid to me. Where can I get it checked or find an acid test

That might be a brass spacer of some sort...but good on you anyway! Funny, I just got back from the store, and since I've been detecting, I park as far from the door as I can, and search for rings and money dropped in the parking lot on my way in and out! Is that weird or what?

It doesn't look brass but you might be right. I look down all the time

Looks like a bearing sleeve.

It's not shaped like a normal ring. Sorry to say it looks suspect as far as being a ring.

Not really Mud, I make a point to search the gravel parking at 2 sports parks I go to and do quite well there. Some of the stuff is kind of mangled from the gravel, but it amazes me the amount of coinage that can be found there. Looks like a spacer to me, I'm a machinist by trade, and make them frequently. Those are definitely machine marks on the side of it, fun find anyway!

Good hunting!

To answer your question about where to get it or any other potential gold tested take it to any of the "we buy gold" stores that have popped up on every corner. They will do an acid test for free and then if its gold they will offer you 1/8 of its actual value lol!

 

[runninnavaho]

1/8 is a horrible deal.

 

[BootyHunter]

1/8 is a horrible deal.

Yes it is, but these places are notorious for low balling people because unfortunately most of the sheep have no idea of the value of gold, watch this if you don't believe me:

Also you then turn down their low ball offer. It's just a good way to get your gold tested for free and give these low ball kings a little payback!

 

[runninnavaho]

Its a shame. People are so wrong.
