back to the football field HELP !!!!!

[dasherhunting]

went back i may be able to hunt this every evening this weekend after work. Tonight found more clad A 1923 merc, 1944 merc and a 1945 merc . also 1950 rosie. Put what i thought was a ring or copper tube end in pocket got home and its a ring says 8k inside fancy pattern on outside and looking close looks like someone inscribe wh for highschool 55 . Need to make sure its gold has a copper look right now except where the fancy is .

Great hunt.. did any of the finds come from where the sidelines were at ?
If not thats surprising !

8k is a very low marking.
Such a marking in the US would not be recognized in the industry.
Such a karet would if acid test, bubble if it is that low.

I would still say good find.

 

[dasherhunting]

about 10 yard line both sides end to end . So if its low dont clean? and if so with what?

Congrats, but your post would be soooo much cooler with pics!

I've never heard of 8k; I do know the British have a 9k standard.

 

[allen]

sounds like you had a good day !

 

[Sniper1K]

Good finds! We are all hoping your eyes are bad and there is actually a "1" in front of that "8"! Wouldn't that be nice!!!

Congrats!

For anyone on here to give you a dependable answer we would have to be able to see the item an marks if possible

18 kt? Missing the "1"?

Agree with others, pic is needed and I suspect it is actually 18k, which makes it a very nice find. Gold can be all kinds of colors depending on the metals it is alloyed with. There is "rose gold" which has a coppery cast to it, but there is also green and white gold too.

I've only seen one thing stamped 8k in my life of working with jewelry....this find might be 18k
18k can run a little richer in color (darker/rosier) then 10k and 14k
If you're talking about a fancy design, small/thin wedding type ring, it most likely is 18k, but pics would be needed
Might wanna look at it with a loop too, to see if the 1 has worn off some
