It's copper. I have seen many like that at flea markets...

Gold can be anything from red to yellow to white. Get a gold test kit.

ok i tested it with 10k acid and it slowly disappeared could it be 9k or 8k? i know anything under 10k is considered not gold i dont have 8k or 9k acid i also tested it with the 22k to see what happened and it dis appeared slower then the 10k so idk if my acids are bad or what i also soaked it in lemon juice (someone told me that if its any metal other than gold it will tarnish) and it did not tarnish it came out cleaner

You need to face reality. It's not marked as any type of gold, so that already makes it highly unlikely. It failed an acid test, so you're done. It's not gold.

Jason ....the man just wanted to know.....we all get high hopes and let-downs sometimes. No need to be short with anyone. If it gets on your nerves easier to move on than step on toes. Best of luck and happy hunting.

No shortness intended. The OP was clearly WANTING this to be gold and looking for any reason to call it gold.

Again ......easier to just move on than make such comments. I was wanting it to be gold for his sake as well. Just my 2 cents. Lets let this dog sleep as none of us benefit from any further discussion and hope we all score a little gold. Best of luck.

If it's brass or copper it will have a taste.

Even if it turns out to be brass; It is still worth $5. Sometimes it is hard to tell what you have. A few years back, I bought a bunch of "Junk" rings from a place that was shutting down. Three of them turned out to be gold and there was a very nice Mothers ring that I had cleaned and gave to my wife. She loves it - the jeweler appraised it at $750 and that was 7 years ago... Keep looking...Chris
