The past couple days have been pretty good with finds. However, first, back on March 18th when I found the Sovereign I found a very light weight ring that was encrusted in green with a few patches of yellow. My immediate thought was that it was a plated bubblegum ring. When I started scratching at the yellow the green crust started flaking off revealing more yellow. Intrigued I threw it in a solution of vinegar and salt. After a couple days I remembered it was soaking and out came the little worn out ring.

It tested for 10k, weighs less than 1 gram but the band is broke and it's yellow throughout. It had to have been bouncing around in the ocean for a while since the details on the band are barely visible and it's really just beat to hell. Old crusty gold. I'll take it.

Yesterday I found the 10 gram tri-colored band. It tested for 18K.

Then this morning I found the large white 18K band @ 7 grams, the smaller 14K band @ 4 grams and what I had hoped to be #3 turned out to be stainless steel.

Thanks for looking and good luck out there!!

Unknown as to the maker. Other than the inscription/date there are no markings. I had to acid test it to determine it was 18K.
