Found a little bit of clad earlier in the afternoon but decided to move to a spot that had seen more traffic in the past. Got serious with some digging of lower signals was hoping for some gold today. Got a solid 08 conductive reading and decided to try it. After making my ground entry via screwdriver slit I pried some more dirt out and still had to get a bit deeper pried again and out popped a clod of dirt with a light yellowish looking ring that was very dirty !
On cleaning up the ring at home I was in for a nice surprise !
I find rings are much harder to get a decent photo of than coins. On looking at the band with my 10x loupe a 10k mark was visible. The photo of the back may or may not be good enough to see the "Copy" then 1983 on the back side. Does this mean the coin is not gold then or is it 10K like the band? Tried to examine it with my loupe and it looked to be better than electroplated base metal at least, far as I could tell it looked like gold.Still a decent find in my book !
Thanks for checking the ring out !
