The dreaded 14K gold "filled"

well the title says it all, nothing like seeing that ring shape in a hole and shiny gold looking back at you, only to look in the band and find the word filled...bummer $:-\$

spent 2hrs detecting at my cousin's house down in Newville, PA. Ended up with a 44P War Nickel, spoon that looks like it was gold plated at one time, the back of a compact, a few lincolns and a brooch of some sort. Oh, and the dreaded "gold" ring.

*update* spoon appears to say "Union Silver" on the back...any ideas?

union silver company --most like made both silverware and plated silverware late 1800' to early 1900 era maybe guessing by design looks

Keep at is, eventually the real thing will show up. For all my hunting time at an area beach, i would be thrilled to find ANYTHING jewelry related. Pulltabs and aluminum seem to be all that is on our beach aside from some modern clad change and a few fishing sinkers.

Try changing your venue. Sounds like you may be in a rut...half this game is mental...the other half is where you look...hit a variety of spots to shake things up...
