Found this on the beach today it hit at "gold ring" but I'm not sure for certain how to tell. It is the first thing I've found that wasn't a nail so I'm not very experienced in being able to tell the difference between metals. Any thoughts?

I found this ring in a farm field that has had some house on it for at least 150 years. The ring is stamped 18K (no other marks) and came out of the ground with that beautiful gold shine. My question is can anyone tell me what the inlay might be? It is dull, rough in texture and almost black...

I've been enjoying the MD hobby now for about 2 months and the more I get out there, the more comfortable I get with the AT Pro. I'm finally at a point where I can hear a signal and pretty accurately guesstimate what it's going to be when I pop it out of the dirt. This is how it's been going...

Stumped on 'G' Stamp! 1950's Atomic style pin stamped "12k G" ?? I am familiar with 12k GF (Gold Fill) but I have never seen just a 'G' (maybe a 'C'?) :icon_scratch: ...The stamp is not cut off either as if the 'F' didn't make it. Any input is welcome! Thanks so much! P.S. Complete stamp...

GOLD TREE I can’t say I found this metal detecting, but I DID find it today at a local estate sale. The item is a tree–shaped object with acorns and leaves. Although it’s been chemically or otherwise darkened, if you rub the metal with a bit of silver polish, it becomes bright gold in color...

Heya everyone; This video is to help show the detection depth of the Nokta FORS Gold. In the video I mention that it was about 7.5" down but I forgot to mention that I had already removed about 1" of soil and the short grass ontop. I also swing my coil about .5 - 1" off the ground so the total...

I have updated my blog with some more Nome gold mining posts, and have a long list of topics that I plan to post on over the next couple weeks. Most are ideas for posts that I jotted down during breaks while on the dredge, but have not yet sat down and fleshed out, some are going to be based on...

Howdy y'all, Come across some huge quartz boulders on a Cliffside today. Had the old pick axe out to look inside and here is what I found. To me it looks like some kind of iron ore mineralization. Any other guesses? Greatly appreciative.

These were saved in a little box by my father for a very long time. I don't know where or how he got them. I've had them for about 8 yrs now and am interested in selling them. I don't know the first thing about them except they are very, very shiny and look very detailed. I'm sure they are...

I Have a tie clasp I've dug up & it's marked 14k. It acid test 14k & not to 18k. My issue is the spring is the only thing magnetic on this piece. I've been told that making springs from gold is not a good idea because gold won't retain it's bent properties enough for a spring. Thus the reason...

I found this a couple of months ago in front of a barn built in the '50s. It's my first gold, and I couldn't be happier with it! It's a Gruen Veri-Thin Precision wristwatch, which was first introduced in 1938, if I remember correctly. The Gruen Watch Company sold out by 1958, so it's at least...

Hello readers, I have done my share of bs jobs in the past, wouldn't it be an adventure to work on a mine full time? Gold mining isn't easy..I have taken many people out with me on my small day trips..and after an hour of digging they wish they didn't come! I on the other hand love being...
