You're doing very well! Fortunately for you, whoever is pricing that stuff doesn't have a clue. Good eye!

It was probably the adrenaline rush from finding the gold. Great finds...too bad about the ticket.

Oh Man. Konditional Karma. I hate that.

I’m concerned about the 0 before the 14k. Most bangles are gold filled and it looks like the 1/20 could be wore off? Anyways definitely test it to be sure. Nice finds.

I was too, but it is a completely hollow piece and tests positive with acid. So, right where the mark is, is where the bracelet rubs against the clasp extension as it is closed.... I have no idea what was worn down over the years

Gold wears down to gold...I’m sorry but I am certain that this bracelet is gold-filled....you have to test under the surface because the outer plate will test positive for gold...but once you get past the top layer your acid will eat right through the base metal

In my text I said the one pic was misleading, I couldn’t get a good close up unless I was outside. just the blue sky reflecting on it. Here is a better picture. Gold store offered to give me 143 dollars for it.
In the picture that has you certain that this is plated you can also notice the inside of the bracelet (out of focus) reflecting that same sky because those surfaces were at the same angle when the photo was taken.

I also took a file to it on the inside to the left of the hinge, still gold.
