Hit a couple play lots today - dug a bunch of coins, a cop car, Cylon ship or whatever, and a thin gold ring. Dug about 14 nickels.

Here's the 10 K ring on the left and a non precious one on the right. The gold ring was not stamped but looked like gold and when I saw that the joint had been soldered with what looked like gold I tested it and it is clearly 10 K.

......What do you use to test your gold Steve?
 
Rusty - Gold test kit - acid drops on a scratch of gold. Different drops are different karat tests. Online sites sell them, steve
 
Stick - No it was quieter - but definitely a diggable target. When I get lots of nickels I know the gold may be there yet also. I dug 17 nickels at this one site out of the 70 some coins. Someone had gotten there before me but on high discrimination. I see this more & more here, steve
