Proud to say I found my first gold ring! Sounded like a pulltab, I could see the band sticking up from the gravel and pulled thinking it was a pulltab. To my surprise it had a pearl on the other end! The pearl is real and is very nice. Marking inside says "BDA10K". After some research I found it stands for a now defunct jeweler "Budlong Docherty and Armstrong." They went out of business around 1970 so this is an old ring! Went my gf unpacks her stuff she can clean and repair it (she's a jeweler).
