hey everyone, I haven't done much detecting this year as it has been too hot. and our beach usually only produces garbage ,pop cans bottle caps rusty nails etc,,,,so i dont go there often. but was bored today so I decided to give it a try. and after finding some more garbage i pulled this out of about 6 inches of water. it has KDM and GRT stamped on both the medallion and chain but has none of the other markings I'm used to seeing ie 14k .750 etc..but it sure looks and feels like gold...i recently bought a gold test kit and tried the acids upto 22k and nothing happened to the scratch mark (assuming i am doing this correctly) also tried a strong magnet with zero effect. does this mean this is real? and 22k or higher? has anyone seen these markings before? thanks for your input!
