Minelab Safari gold ring?....19 on the meter

Detecting in a park today...i found a ring. It showed as a 19 on the safari meter. It doesn't look like gold on the outside...but it looks like where a stone had been...there is gold inside. The gold substance inside is soft. I know nothing about jewelry...but am wondering...Do they fill a hollow ring with gold? the ring is heavy by the feel....the actual weight is as shown 66gn.

I'm going back tomm to see if i can find the diamond/stone in the 6" hole. It looked as though there was a small hole in the open area of the ring ..where a post may have been.....Of coarse when i scraped inside the hole ...it is no longer vi sable.

thanks in advance

Probably plated at one time. Any marks inside?

There is a very faint " 8 " on the inside....thats all i can see..not sure if that would be the size?

I think the 8 on the inside stands for 8K gold. Nice find, Breezie

ok..thanks...thats seems to be a pretty low "k"....hopefully the 1 is not visable...thus 18k...lol
