Had a nice 2 hour water hunt today with the wife. I was suprised that 90% of my targets were just past the top of the sandbar. Ankle to thigh deep. Got a few bucks in coins, some junk bracelets, A stainless ring, silver T&CO earring, silver ring (bad stamp, looks like 950).
The gold cross looked to smooth and shiny. Gave appearance of plating. Didn't see a mark on it with the loupe in the car. Got home, under a bright light with a better loupe, saw part of an 8 and part of a 5. Maybe 585? So I sanded down a corner, looks the same color inside. 14k acid held really well. COOL! It is gold! 5.1 grams too.
