Default Gold!!!

I think I have finally done it! In searching a playground at the local elementary school, at a bench (Because the playground was very unproductive....lousy kids) I have found what I believe to be a gold pendant/charm. It was on top of the ground-- and I unfortunately don't see any karat marking on it, but it gave off a very low, loud tone when I discovered it. If it is gold, it is plated as you can tell from the photos. Enjoy! HH

Smile Gold!!!

The old saying is "all that glitters is not gold" seems to apply. Looks like gold plating to me, but it is still a "find" no matter what. It's just good to see you back and posting your finds.

Gold is gold is gold. Plated or not, it's gold in my book. LOL
