Hello everyone. Hit a few places today with little success. This all came from the last 2 hours at a football field (same one the 10k 20 gram bracelet came from recently and other gold in the past) I scored 3 rings, all junk. I also got a neat bracelet and some other miscellaneous junk bling. (Still a lot of clad too) Shovelnose was with me and scored a sweet 925 necklace. The car was an eyespy from a homesite. Not every day can come with a great find, this is reality! Still had a great time. Thanks for looking & HH!

Love them rings !
 
Even if the rings were junk, they still give a good solid rise to the heart rate when they're first uncovered, don't they. :)

Nice assortment!

HH!

Yes they do, every one!
 
Heck yes. I love rings not matter how crappy they look. I know where I fit in. You guys are digging up the same stuff I am.
I found a bracelet like that one last year. Probably made by the same people. It says hecho in mexico on it. Or something like that. Right in the center on the back. It's silver plate. Which yours probably was.
 
I would take that any day as a good day!
 
Nice finds. That site keeps producing. What a great site.
 
For me your finds would make my day.
 
check that bracelet realy good - I have found a bunch of those and they were all silver

Definitely plated unfortunately
 
Real nice finds
 
Do junk rings have any scrap value? I've read 10k gold can discolor and tarnish over time?

Definitely all junk metal not worth anything. You can see the corrosion which doesn't happen with gold.

I'm still new at this, but 10K should be 37.5% gold. Is it possible some of the junkers are gold with the balance in copper which has changed color?
 
Like that bracelet, junk rings or not, each time could be the BIG one
