FIRST GOLD

[shadow0966]

Well I just about had a heart attack today,my first gold ring popped out of the ground and I have only been md'ing
for 1 month.OMG I did the happy dance for hours today but I have a question ?

On the stamp it says 23 KDM , I never heard of 23 carot gold and I know some of the gold that comes from india etc. is different from american/canadian gold .Is it possible it could be plated or is this an actual solid gold stamp ?

Congrats on your first gold. I can't help with markings. Nice find.

Nice ring, found this info on 23K but still looking for the DM info. I think it may just be the makers mark initials or maybe country of origin
