Gold Ring Question

[Cleetus]

Have no experience with this because I have never found a gold ring until tonight. Just a last minute spin through a new park before dark, trying out my new Gold Bug. I wans't digging 78 signals (zinc penny) or the 83 (copper penny, clad dines) and they were going off right . Dig those later, I just want to get a feel for what's in here. Then I get a loud rock solid 81, steady, never changes and the same from all directions changes. Because no coin iDs at that number I wanted to see what I had. So I dig and see the bright glint of gold. Clean, dirt isn't sticking to it. It's a small simple wedding band.........I THINK IT IS A GOLD RING. My first.....Some small marks on the inside of band. Can't read it well because my eyes aren't what they use to be but with a magnifying glass I clearly made out 22 something (I think C T) The a few other marks. so my question is: Is there such a thing as 22 Karat gold? The band is narrow, weighs .24 ounce Troy , 7 grams. ? Was goping to photo, got home my Cam battery dead and it's recharging now

Got some great pics but the file is 2.5 mgb, this server will can't download it, Chug. Maybe I will have time to take it into photo shop and shrink it tonight. I'm sure this ring is rich gold, it rang 81 and it's just a little thin 7 gram wedding band. Sure is a purty color though. :P
