GOLD in the park today!!

[scrubber]

Man, I love it when the gold shows in the dirt!!

About 3" down under grass in fairly hard-packed soil. I see that it's 10k but can someone tell me what the 107 means?

Nice job on the gold! The 107 could be for how many years old the person was when they got the ring!?

I have no idea what 107 means but I know what 10K means.

Nice ring.

I still haven't found out what the 107 means, but I found the following useful info on an ebay jewelry buying guide page:

Please keep in mind that it was not a Federal Law in the US to require gold stamping until the early 1900's. Many antique items have no marks or unreadable marks.

NOTE: If you have a piece that is marked P for example 14kp this does not mean the piece is gold plated. "P" means plumb. Pure gold is not practical for most jewelry applications because it is too soft so other metals are added to make it harder. Items that are marked "P" for plumb means that it has more gold in it and thus more valuable so 14kp is more valuable than 14k. Most gold plated items are marked: GE or HGE,GP, EP. Vermiel is gold plated but GF or G.F. refers to gold filled. If you don't want fake gold stay away from words in descriptions such as: bonded, coated, plated, mils, micron, technigold, overlay, layer, rgp or rg (which stands for rolled gold), or alloy.

It's not as big as it looks in the pics. It goes halfway onto my pinkie finger. It has a 13/16" O.D. and weighs about 8 grams (a little over 1/4 oz).
