9K and 18K

[TreasurDiggrNY]

Happy New Year Everyone,
Got out to the beach today, slim pickings for a while so I moved out of there and on to another spot. Started picking up on the clad, followed the line to the heavier coins and hit on the 18K ring which weighs 3.6 grams. Once I found that ring I started to grid the area out and found the second ring which looks like an oldie about 30 feet down the beach. It's marked on the outside of the ring with a *375 and has a hallmark that looks like 4X10. I thought this ring was silver at first because it was tarnished and I didn't have my glasses to see any marks. The grime on it came off easily with a scrub of hot soapy water. Here are the finds.

under the gold standards act, 9k jewelry has such little gold content that it is actually illegal to sell as gold in the US. 10k is the legal minimum karatage accepted in the US. I believe England accepts 9k, and some other countries accept as low as 8k
