Can anyone I.D this please

[paul75]

Hi I'm trying to find out the origins of this fork (attached pic) found in English soil, am I right to think this is gold? Or is there any other metals stamped this way? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Don it's hard to make out it looks like 695,then 22, a lion,then a fork or top of a crown, but not sure though

If is gold ,it would be one expensive fork!...is it not made from silver? ...you should be able to google the hallmarks

965 looks to be a gold grading stamp, however the lion stamp is associated with silverware....stumped
