If theres a P behind the K it probably means gold plated. All the P's I found where indeed plated.
But plated with real ice, can imo not be, so is the P really there?

Here in the States 14Kp means 14k plumb, meaning the 14k is exact not plus or minus which 14k usually allows for. It is good to find rings like this. I have not seen 14kp as plated, although there may be fake 14kp's out there. I just haven't seen it. I have seen plenty of things marked 14k that are fake.

AMEN.. The KOB is a great person to hunt with, and I look forward to getting out there again sometime.
If I'm ever on your home turf, I'd love to get together, or if you end up out my way.

That's your first gold ring? That may be one of the best first gold rings posted here! Congrats!!!
It's my first gold of ANY sort
In a way I wish that I had found a plain gold band first, since there's no way I can ever sell this one, although it's worth quite a bit of money.

That is an epic 1st gold find! Crushes my little dainty 10k I found on my first trip to the beach. Well done! You deserve it!

Congrats to Pryan67 on a beautiful gold ring!
KOB, don't feel too bad. A similar thing happened to me about five years ago. I was visiting a good friend of mine in Canada who has never touched a metal detector. We went to a saltwater beach and I gave him a 5 minute crash course on my ACE250 and turned him loose while I water hunted with a water machine. Well after about 2 hours I had nothing, not even a pull tab. Came back to him and the wives and he tells me that he found a gold ring
, I thought he was kidding until he showed me the 10k mens gold band. I wasn't a happy camper.

When I was showing my dirt hunting buddy how to hunt the beach, not only did I let him use one of my detectors, I marked an "X" on a couple of targets in the wet sand for him. Well, of course, you know what happened next- he scooped out a 14K, designer gold honker! Talk about an awkward moment.Congrats to Pryan67 on a beautiful gold ring!

Bottom line is that he still has the ring, and we're still friends, but boy did that sting for a while. I have found plenty of treasure since then and it's kind of funny now.
