I'd clean it up and get it checked out anyways. Skip all the hassle I had, and call around to find someone with an electronic gel tester for the gold. Taking it in the current condition, most jewelers will dismiss it out of hand, as they're not used to seeing gold alloys that have been long-buried. I have to say from the pics, I lean towards fake too, but you never know until you get it checked out! Good luck, hope it's real, but it's one of the prettiest "fakes" I've seen even if it isn't. Nice find, WTG!
