Spent the better part of the day swinging at different sites. Dug a bunch of coins, none old but did get some gold & silver.
The left hand ring is stamped 925 with a sparkler that probably isn't precious. The right hand ring isn't stamped but tests at 10 K on my acid kit. Something just doesn't seem right tho so I filed a lot of the outer band away in case it was plated and tested it again and it still says 10 K.
However, the crucifix on the anchor is stamped 14 K, no doubt there. About 2 weeks ago I dug and posted an identical crucifix on an anchor but it was stamped 925. What are the odds ??
So I'll call the ring gold till the refinery says otherwise
