I finally found gold! (I think?)

[Elad]

I went to a park I have never hit before not too far from where I live. After about 30 bottlecaps and pulltabs... I found this. I was suprised to say the least. I am not sure if it's real gold though. I do know it's not magnetic, it's heavy, and it's flexible.

Me too... but knowing my luck it's just plated.

From 1 of the pics it appears to be plated............although I could be wrong

Good luck on it being gold...Ya just can't tell from pictures! It is neat though!

Awesome find!!!

It kind of reminds me of the Tiffany & Co key rings. Does the ball unscrew?

 

[Elad]

No... it's all like... welded together. I am not sure if welded is the correct term for it?

nice find no halmark?

Hope it's real!!!! It should have a stamping on it somewhere if it's real, but if it's just plated it probably won't be marked.

Good Luck and HH Joe

I agree with Crazyjarhead... If you look at the post you can see the plating has wore off showing the base metal underneath!!
