I was in NJ this past week and got to hunt around 5-6 hours. I never post my finds but I need help identifying this key so I figured I would just post everything. I found $10.37 in clad, an unmarked ring that I will test when I get home, a silver nickel, and a pretty neat key that I need help identifying. The ring was found in a very wealthy non tourist area so I am hoping its platinum but it looks kinda like tungsten to me since I have about 200 other tungsten rings lol but even my tungstens/steel are usually marked. They key is pretty cool, it says La Key on side and has a rose on the other. You can see from the pics. Does anyone know where its from? I have searched online but can't find anything. I assume its from a hotel but it could be a house key.

And of course just as I post I find some answers on the key. Worth nothing but still looks pretty cool:

yea your probably correct. I didn't pay attention to it's size. just shape
 

When I saw the rose, my first thought was a brothel room key.
 

Let us know what the ring turns out to be...hope its plat.

Thanks. I am on the last leg of my trip in chincoteague island va for the next few days so will test out the ring later this week when I get home and post here. Every other plat and tungsten ring I have found have been marked so this one is a mystery but I have heard of platinum rings going unmarked before so my fingers are crossed.
 

ring is junk...oh well. now that i am home i can get back to my normal spots and hopefully get some gold this weekend.
