Ring TIDed at 8 . Steel?

[Clad Daddy]

I found a ring on a totlot this morning. It showed an 8 and is heavy. It is painted black with the Lord's Prayer written in white. I know it's not valuable but I'm curious what type of metal it is made out of. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a couple of black rings , it is possible it is Titanium or Tungsten.

White gold? I just found a 10k at +6 tid thin 2grams with real opals.

Hit is with a magnet first, that will eliminate steel. Is it heavy for it's size? Maybe do a scratch test on an unglazed ceramic tile, or bottom of a coffee mug. This may narrow it down a bit. let us know what you find out! HH

If it has the Lord's prayer on it, then I am guessing it is not a small ring....so, if it is large, and registered at 8, I think that would rule out white gold...I have a 7.22gm, 9k white gold ring which registers at 28 on my X Terra 70. Stainless Steel rings register lower...one I found with the X Terra 70 came in at 8 - 10. It is a medium sized ring. I cant say about titanium or tuingsten, but I would not rule them out. It could be cast iron, but these sometimes have inclusions which give them high readings.

It wont be pure titanium otherwise the ring would be very light
