#22 is copper.

Found this one today. My first copper ring.



Of course it rang up like a copper penny.

Kind of reminds me of the "black hills gold" designs, are you sure it's copper? (My wife would say that's a keeper, and take it from me.)

Pretty sure. Was very corroded. I had to use ketchup to get the gunk off.

Nice find congrats!
Ya make sure you check that, I found a gold/copper pendant onetime reading Penny very deep for a penny!
You can usually tell the composition of an item by the reading you get, but always check it. Life is full of surprises!

Copper or not, it still counts in the ring tally. You're now one step closer to that killer, highly valuable ring.
Congrats.

very nice ring, I have found two that were silver plated copper or at least that was what they looked like, the plating was pretty much gone on both.
