Is that gold??

[Turbo21]

I was at the old park doing some digging before work today and was digging tons of pull tabs

This park has given up some silver an even a large cent to others in the last few weeks


I got a nice loud hit and dug about 4" down and out pops this ring





Seeing it all brown and green. My first thought was darn another junker. But man is it heavy. Around 15 grams heavy?

I got in to work and was cleaning it and noticed some gold showing on the side. And I figured it was a copper ring with gold plate and that was all the gold that was left

Just messing around I took the ring and scraped it on some unglazed ceramic and the green and brown disappeared. And this is what I saw



I have never seen gold tarnish as bad as this before. I mean it could have been in the ground for a long time as the park dates back to the 1600's. I have gotten it mostly clean and here is how it looks now. No markings but will test the karat when I get home

Any one have a guess on age or any clues about the design and yes I belive the diamond is real too. I wills update if it's real when I get home and test it





It is still not all the way clean but I'm getting there

I also found another wedding band at the same park yesterday and it looked the same way. I figured it was junk. But it could be gold as well!!! Need to do some cleaning tonight in it

I also dug my first clad 1$ coin right after the ring today. great day in the park for sure!!



Here is the ring from yesterday

And would someone please fix the mobile app to work with ios8. You can't start new threads

Whatever it's made of it looks pretty good cleaned up and is still a cool find.
Any idea how old it is??

I wish I knew the age. The park has had activity since the 1700's. So very hard to date it
