Been awhile

[bearbqd]

Been over a year since I’ve been out detecting and finally got out to a friends 12 acre plot in the woods near the Potomac river. I expected a lot of modern lead and shotgun shell caps and of course I did find those. What I didn’t expect was for my first good signal to be an 18k gold wedding band. Found right near a little creek, out in the middle of nowhere. Not sure what the green band is around it but the makers mark is a crown and 18 under it. Only other interesting finds for the day was a dropped three ringer bullet, a silvered pewter decorative thing, and a flat button. The gold made my day though.

I hope it is solid but from the pic it looks plated. I found an ring marked 18k last year that didn’t have any plating left on it.

I think it’s plated too, unfortunately. The pic is pretty clear..

Not plated, it just has a secondary outer ring of some material. The gold that is visible is perfect and the whole thing has about the same weight as my wedding ring.

Someone else sanity check me and look at the close-up of the ring and tell me that it’s not plated
