I dug this today at an old baseball field. It cleaned up really easy out of the dirt. It was a couple inches down and rang up at a 82 on my Garrett. It is marked LAM 10k. Does that mean it has some 10k gold? Thanks for any information.

I think it is also marked. "Seyer"

Ah.. Laminated. Gold IS GOLD!! Haha. Wonder how thick the laminating is? Hard to tell how much gold there is.

I found a medallion last year with LAM 10K as well.
Still sitting in the treasure chest...

I think you’ve got a 10k pendant/medallion there, cool find!

ETA: Googled and dang, dunno. Etsy had a Seyer 10k “plated” medallion.

Guess I’d file a little in an inconspicuous spot and acid test, or take to a jeweler... Gluck man!

Cool medal!!

Couple/few years ago I sold a smaller one like that to my gold buyer, he never commented on it when I sold more to him.. Mine wasn't as clear, I thought it said "I am 10k" so....

I guess I snuck one through...
