Hey tatooed, welcome to T'Net

Still waiting for a photo Until then, no one can say "Nice find! "

If you think it's gold, there are test kits you can buy.

what are the markings.

 

[tattooedmomma]

no marking. has alot of buildd up on it. The outside seems to be crosshatched design.

Gold doesn't corrode like that, so no it is not gold.
