struck gold...2 rings and a sacagawea dollar

[benc2]

old pops and I headed out for a short afternoon hunt since it was in the sixties today here in nc. below is the pics of todays finds. one 10K ring (anybody know what the FG stands for?), an little girl's flower ring, my sacagawea dollar (my first ever) a couple of little trinkets, and some change. Total dollar amount was $3.14 in clad. not too bad for about 2&1/2 hours.

I guess FG is the markers mark.

Woo-Hoo! Gotta love the rings. Great start to your 2008 year.

nice finds..I can't wait to find my first gold ring and old old coin.. : (

 

[Silver_Fox]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but FG means "Fools Gold". Send it to me and I will dispose of it properly........LOL

I believe FG could also mean "filled gold."

Nice find!
FG is a makers mark. It stands for Fred Goldstein or something similar - large NY jewelry mass producer - been around since the 30's or older.
I found an FG 14 k white gold band a couple years ago.

Yeah, what a great find, a gold ring.

[benc2]

thanks to all for your support!!!!

hey jorge... how did you know?? lol

 

[jorge del norte]

here is another with that Hallmark.....

there seems to be a confusion about that mark.......I googled it....no definite idea what FG means....but some........the "G" has a little extra design on it.......

"GF" is gold filled............

"FG" probably is not gold filled

Nice job on digging up the treasure matey. Two rings to boot and plenty of clad to please even Davie Jones himself.
