hit the local park again

[antlr-king]

went to a youth area in the back of the park behind my house. so much ground to cover. found 2 junk rings and a junk bracelet yesturday. sorry no pics of those. went back today found 3 more rings and about 4.00 in change total for both days. the ring with the stones on it (which looks like some kind of opal)says on the inside 18 KT HGE (?). it really looks like gold plated to me. while i was cleaning off the dirt i noticed some flaking coming off onto my fingers. the stones look real though. translucent color.? the little gold ring with the twist on it looks like gold but has no stamp on it. the other is junk. also found a pair of p.o.w. earrings. anyway im getting closer to finding the good stuff.

HGE means heavy gold electroplate. Whether or not the stones are real is a toss up a jeweler can tell you. I'd say probly not.

P.O.W. earrings? That's the most random theme i have ever seen.

I miss the Treasure Coast.

Can you detect in the intercoastal without problems?

Though the ring is EP there is a chance that the stones are real (if they are opals). They might be a cheaper version of a solid stone - triplets or doublets - the thinner layers of stones combined with artificial materials. They use them in cheaper jewellery like sterling.
