I had never seen a clasp like that either...the first thing I did when I pulled it out of the dirt was look at the clasp. I thought it was junk because I know the clasps on high end gold bracelets have those slide in clasps with little latches. When I felt the weight of it I said to myself "man, this might be good". After acid testing I searched the internet for 24k bracelets and all the ones I found had that style clasp...its Thai Baht gold from the Middle East.LD that is Beautiful!! I've dug a few golds and I have never seen a clasp like that one..View attachment 1100614
guess because I never dug one that nice and 24k...![]()

Yeah, the color had almost an orange look to it and I wasn't familiar with that type of clasp...the first thing I did was look for one of those locking clasp and when I saw the S clasp I was afraid it was fake...then I felt the weight and said this thing has to be gold of some karat.Congrats on the nice find,I found a necklace with the same clasp it weighed 29.8 grams it was so yellow I thought it was fake it ended up being 22k I also found a bracelet and 22k ring no 24k yet.it's a good sign when you see that clasp.
