So it should be real gold?

Sure looks as good as gold to me.

yes, it should be. looks legit in your pics. lots of people have dug old rings that are marked as gold, but are actually heavily plated. Most of those I've seen posted are off in color or show dark patches or corrosion where the plating was worn thin, but yours looks to be solid. great find, congrats!
