Re: Hext Ring
Craig;
considering the area I was in when I dug this little ticket along with a shield nickel with an 1879 date I doubt it had been plated. You may be correct however, how much gold plating you reckon was goin on in South Ga in the late 1800s? This was in the woods along a firebreak with a Civil War Fort (earthen) a mile or so away.
