It's better than 23K GOLD ~ WOOHOO!!!
Hello!
I dug this gold ring a couple weeks ago at a local park. At the time I didn't know what the marking were inside in band, but someone in the WHATS-IT forum said it's Japanese for PURE GOLD. So . . . . yesterday I took the ring to a local coin/jewelry shop to have it tested . . . . yep, sure enough, it tested at very high . . . they said it's better than 23K!! WOOHOO ~ 3.6 grams of GOLD!!!!
That same day that I dug the ring I dug a few other goodies . . . . . in particular the 1925-s Merc dime . . . . it's in pretty good shape . . . the guy at the coin shop said it's a solid VF, but not quite a XF/EF.
THANKS for looking!!
