I do believe it is gold

[ZumbroKid]

I got this in the road tear up right after putting the horse shoes in my car. It was imbedded deep in some tar/blacktop. After flaking some off it, i thought i'd stop and leave it as is. It is still very much uncleaned.

Nice one Pete!

You know, many times I wonder how much of this good stuff never will be found.

I'm sure all of us who have done this for many years have many times walked right by (or over) great finds and never even knew they were there.

sure hope it turns out to be solid gold and not just plated. its hard to tell now with all of the crud still on it. either way its a cool find.

Intresting Looking piece.

Neat find, hope it's gold! If you figure out how to clean the tar off, let me know, I have a few coins that have a tar coating on them. HH, mike

 

[TimmyNY]

soak it in a little gas will take the tar right off. not recomended for use indoors or on anything that will be harmed by gas. Ie plastics gold should be fine coins too

I don't know - at the price of gas, I'd think twice before using it to clean something that is only worth its weight in gold................
