Hi

2/11 - UPDATE - jeweler confirmed 14K GOLD!!!!!

Crazy Weather here last 3 days – Tuesday everything was covered in ice. Yesterday was 62 degreees and sunny. Today heavy snow with 12-18” expected.

So got out into the 60 degrees yesterday afternoon. Found $2.07 in clad , a 1954 Canadian penny and this which rang up a 59 on At Pro:

On a mens softball field –shallow center field. 59 VDI about 4-5” deep.

Looks and feels real nice and heavy – BUT its not stamped – what does the jury say???

I hope its real - will probably put on a chain and wear....

Thoughts? I will take it to a jeweler - but the lack of a hallmark makes me wonder/doubt......

Awesome! Let's review, VDI was 59 at 4" on the ATPro. An Item of that size, gold plated over brass or copper, would bang in the range of a quarter probably (83-88). But with the low VDI, right in the range for gold, I am going to bet it probably is gold, and well worth testing. Awesome find! Sub 8-)

Just confirmed this AM/w jeweler - 14K!!!!!! Thanks all!!!

need to go find the chain once the snow melts
