Quandary was solved in a couple of seconds....there's no gold to be found on the bathroom floor 
Another beautiful sunny day...why spend it on my hands and knees cleaning that old tile floor... got to the beach at noon and hunted for 3 hrs.
As I was walking along the dune line in the dry sand with the GT in hand, and taking in the serene view of the ocean, I heard that unmistakable low solid tone, and looked down at the sand to see a gold ring laying right on top of the sand!
...Didn't even have to work for that one.
( B63....I think that "high 5" brought me luck) 8)
Fully aware that had the GT taken another route ...like a couple of inches to the left or right , and me gazing out at the ocean, I definitely would have missed the ring Careless detecting...won't happen again.
Ring has no stamping inside the band...but tested 12 K with gold test kit.
The key: TECO stands for Timber Engineering Company. Established in 1933, TECO was bought out in 1988. The company did testing on timber for various uses.
Here's a couple of pics.
thanks for looking...now if you 'll excuse me...I have a bathroom floor to wash
