Back to the Street Construction site,1941 Mercury Dime,14K ring

[Roger Mn.]

I went back to Silver Lake were they have the street and sidewalks torn up.
The ring has a 14k stamped inside.
I get different VDI readings.One direction it comes up 59 & 61 and another angle it's 48 to 51 showing it's a ring. I don't think it's 14K But some gold turns brown.
I got a 1941 Mercury Dime and a marble.
The bobcat driver told me another guy got some silver dimes and a
2 cent coin From the dirt pile they have been moving around.

I'm not saying that a brown ring with a marijuana leaf on it isn't gold, but I'd be skeptical! Nice finds though, way to go on taking advantage of the construction!

Are you sure the only marks inside the ring is 14k? there isn't a 14kgf or 14kep? That ring looks plated to me... Hope it turns out to be soild gold tho...

I used sandpaper on the edge and it shines.
I might take it in to get tested.

Cool finds...
On the ring, it's a typical tourist sale ring made in Mexico. Sold to the unsuspecting as gold. Naturally if y ou scrape or use sandpaper on the edge, it will look shiny or like gold. When all polished up, it would fool the unkowing...but it's brass. Since it's a pot leaf the buyer probably didn't care, cause it was no doubt sold cheap for being "gold" and looked cool!

If someone dug a two-center, go back, actually stay there. You'll be posting some real crazy stuff soon.
