I went early this morning to knock out this field before it gets too hot. Right off I started getting penny after penny, so I raised my discrimination to not accept zinc pennies. This place is covered in them. I'd probably grow old and die before I got all of them, and still not get this field done. Anyway, I ended up with the normal amount of clad for this field, and one heavy ring. It rang in a solid 12 on my Whites where can slaw, foil, and gold ring in. It's not marked so I guess it's not gold, even though it weighs 6.7 grams. I guess it could be a stainless steel ring, I've never found one of those. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
Took the ring to a jeweler and was told it was Tungsten, and they are simi-expensive rings. So, it wasn't gold, and it wasn't stainless.

Dave, you just can't tell what they will make rings out of next. What, bumpers from a 57 Chevy? Nice find my friend. Glad to see your cleaning the field of them pesky old zink pennies.... HH
