MINER Strikes GOLD!!! TWICE!!! *UPDATE: Weight & PIX***

I had a bit of time after work today to MD. "Should I hit the farm again, or should I hit a park", I said to myself. I went for the park this time, and I'm glad I did. This place has a lake, small beach area, tot lot, and volleyball area. I had tried this place during the summer, but it was way too hot and crowded then. Today I had it all to myself. ;D
Being a sucker for a volleyball area, I hit it first and walked away with a whopping 35 cents and a ring that I first thought was a wedding band. Neat ring, but not silver or gold. It looks like a tiger eye material with a glitter in it.
I then headed to the large tot lot and dug some more clad and a "SPORN" tag. It says "Sporn.com" on the other side. It may be a porn site with mushrooms (spore porn) so I dare not look. :o
After I completed the tot lot, I hit underneath a few picnic benches. BINGO, I dug a small gold ring. Not sure if it is a pinky or toe ring (size 4.5)? It has a letter "B" (Bling?) on the front. Inside it has the following:
"LKM" "375" "2000". Is 375 a 10k or 14k gold?
I was jazzed to find some gold again finally.
Little did I know, I was in for a bigger treat. :o I started MDing the small sandy area by the water, but only found pull-tabs, fishing sinkers, and a few pennies. I then moved up to the small grassy area right next to the sand. After about 20 pull tabs I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't. I dug a plug, and within that plug I saw the wonderful glimmer of GOLD again!!! Yaba-daba-doo! ;D It was a beautiful decorative wedding band. I could just tell it was the real thing. :D I had no one to high-5, so I did the Tesoro Tango with my Mighty Tesoro.
You can see the "14K" stamp. It looks like there was possible initials inside next to the 14k stamp, but they are worn down too much to read. The size is 6.5.
It has some size to it, so I'll weight it on the scale at work tomorrow.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but I'm still high as a kite. ;D ;D ;D
Have a great week,
MM

Added the weight and a few more pix.

I really like the style of this 14k ring. This ones a keeper.
Thanks for looking.
