Gold Plated or Gold Plumb?

[Ridley]

I went back to the field with all the silver rings and between thunder storms, found this huge ring. I've inserted a close up of the markings. It looks like solid gold to me. Anybody know what these markings mean?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Yeah, it means you are still one lucky so and so. I don't think it is plated, but then again, I don't know what the hallmarks mean, either.

WTG!!

14KP means 14 Karat Plumb

PLUMB GOLD A term used to describe gold jewelry that contains the precise amount of gold in the alloy that the Karat mark indicates. In the past an item marked 14Kt could legally have been 13.5 karat and still considered 14K. Today an item marked 14k must be at least 14 of 24 parts fine gold and is considered plumb gold. In some instances manufacturers have marked their jewelry 14KP meaning plumb, but inadvertently have confused the public that believed the 14KP mark meant gold plated.

Thanks for the info guys!

MM, you won't believe where I found this ring! Plus I went to this place three times today. It was a clear sunny sky. then these dark clouds formed and the rain came down in buckets. Including thunder and lightening. So I went home and the sky cleared up again. Back I went. Same thing again. Dark clouds and thunder with heavy rain.

It cleared up a third time and I went back. This time I had about 30 min to detect. Just after I found the ring, dark clouds/rain/thunder.

With the last one we got tornado warnings!

The DFX really likes electro-magnetically charged air or something, because I was finding all kinds of stuff left and right.
