Well, I told myself that I wasn’t going to post my regular finds anymore. That’s because some people want me to make a diligent effort to find the owners of treasures that I Find. And when I tell them that I only want stay legal and follow the Laws, some dips called me a scumbag. Anyway, that’s enough of that.
I wanted to show Mike, and anyone else wants to see this Ring I found last weekend, and how it looked when it came out of the ground. This happens to be a 1/40 10K RGP (Roll Gold Plate) Kiddiegem Vintage Ring (1/40 means that the gold contend on this ring is 1/40th the weight of the base metal).
This ring has been in the ground for at least 40 to 70 years. Rings that are marked RGP are rings that the gold has been mechanically bonded over a base metal, usually copper or brass. The reason that some of the gold is missing in spots on this ring? This is because copper crystals have grown on the base metal under the gold covering, which pushed the gold covering off.
I conducted three hunts last weekend and these are my finds. One of the spots that I hunted was my secrete spot, and the other two where at playgrounds. I did quite well on rings. The 14k band was the best find, I also like the cool inlayed ring. It has three marks and I can’t make heads or tails of them. At the two playgrounds I found about $6 in clad and recently dropped wheat. I even found a Sac dollar. The 1945 war nickel came from my secrete spot.

It only took three, 1 hour household ammonia soaks to get the 10k RGP ring in the condition it’s in now, no scrubbing.
