Metal Detecting
Hello folks! Hope you found some treasure today. I sure did! I was/am homeschooled (graduated today!!!) and was at my homeschool group soccer when I looked down randomly and found a squished piece of jewelry. I picked it up and it was all covered in white paint from them spraying the lines. But I saw a gold shine and saw that there was a marking of some sorts. I ran back to my bag and put it in so that I could continue playing the game. After getting home and scratching off the paint I started scratching my head instead. One of the markings looks like a hallmark, and the other three very faint numbers that I think are 535 or 585. I think 585 means 14k. However, why does the head of the ring look like silver? It looks like the gold is just on the edges of the square like it rubbed off or something... and the design on the side looks like silver that melts into gold. Could it be plated? I took it to Pandora and they didn't know what the markings were and they didn't have a metal tester. All that they told me is that the stone isnt a diamond. Also, my detector rings up gold with no trace of high tones at all. I'm super confused!!! Any suggestions or guesses???:icon_scratch:

I looks like gold to me. Is it heavy?

Why don’t you have a tester? Lol

I don't want to spend money on a tester. You think so? The thing that gets me is that it looks two colors... gold on the band and silver on the front. It's not that heavy but it's thin and the quare is hollow.

Thanks! I wasnt looking for coins or anything... it was pure luck! Ill keep my eyes peeled when i go to fields from now on though. I want to take it to a pawn shop... I'm sure they'd have a tester to make sure they were buying real gold.

I think you hit gold but I’m not getting that little silver streak. Being marked has me leaning to real. I hope it is because it’s to pretty to be not. IMG_2824.webp

Great find for you. Obviously, the person putting the paint / chalk down for the lines, was oblivious. Good eye.
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

If it’s real promise me you’ll get it fixed a jeweler will do it cheap. Keep us updated [emoji1317]

It has cracks on the sides though. It got run over so you could bend it back into place but it would be weak because of cracks. Also it's a big ring... I don't think I could ware it. :( we will see how much it's worth and maybe I can get it fixed if it's not too much. It is a really cool ring. I'll keep you updated but it might be a few days till I get it checked out.
 

I'd say 585 white gold on top cool ring too.

GOD Bless

The part you thought might be silver could be white gold or even platinum. Nice surface find!
 

Congrats on grsduating you could sell your detector and just swing your eye on a stick lol google hallmarks type in those .dont sell gold at a pawn shop most jewelers give fsir price and can check if its hold Well done My Girl did you win your game?
 

Good eye for the gold ring find. Congrats. Looks old.
 

I have recovered white and yellow Gold combinations on a number of occassions. If it were gold plated Silver,, you would get a high reading on your detector.
Congrats on your find.

Thanks! No we lost 6 to 4. We didn't win any this season. I scored a goal but then undid it by doing a handball in the box... they got a penelty shot and scored��. I won't sell at a pawn shop.
 

585 is 14k nice eyeball find congrats....:occasion14:
 

Congrats Mvgirl! Beautiful Ring. Sorry to hear about the rough soccer season.
