First Gold with the AT Pro

[jadocs]

Went out for a few hours this morning and found my first gold with the ATP. I almost didn't dig it because I was getting a little tired of all the foil and pull tabs I had already dug up. It rang up as 46 and had a tiny bit of choppiness to it. Once it was out of the ground it was a clean 46 mid tone. Still haven't figured out the stone yet.

Good gold, jadocs. Can you post photos of the ring after it has been cleaned, especially the stone?

Nice congrats on 1st gold

I don't want to pee in your Cheerios but that looks plated to me. Hope I'm wrong though and congrats

Congrats on the ATP GOLD

I think you guys are right. Pretty sure it's plated. There are markings inside the band but I can't make it out.

Still would like to see the stone cleaned, jadocs.

Here you go T,

I think it's probably junk since the ring isn't what I hoped it was.

Afraid you are right jadocs. Looked a little blue to me in your first photo.

All kinds of heartbreakers out there...some are actually designed to be and total rippoffs.
Here is a ring I found that I assume looked way different before it was lost, stamped 18k on the inside so somebody might have lost a bundle on this thing when purchased new.
This isn't the only mismarked piece of jewelry I have found, either.
If anyone believes this is 18k I got bridges...lots of bridges going for fire sale prices.

May your next ring be the real deal.

Thanks digger!

Jadocs,

Here's some simple ways to test your finds: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/m...-your-finds-real-gold-silver.html#post4769594

I wrote this up a while ago to provide cheap and free ways to determine if things are gold or silver.

The makeup test one works the best, but you do have to watch out for "real" plating. It'll throw the test.


Cheers!

Skippy that's fantastic thank you for the info, that will help me a lot!

I bet it still made you grin like a possum when you found it. Congrats.
