Yellow is yellow

REAL_RAT_FINK · May 5, 2020

Found an isolated and open beach that had a total of... wait for it.... 2 people on it. Myself and a surfer. Felt great to be back on the sand, things are starting to open up. Lots of targets to choose and lots of junk. Pulled $3.40 in clad and this 14k watch cover. It says W.W.C MFG. Co, 14k warranted and the serial number 197846. On the front the initial EMG. Was a little worried that it said warranted, never heard of that before. I believe that if there is a 10 or 20 after that, it means its gold plated and warranted for that many years to remain plated. But since no number after, it is 14k. Hopefully someone can confirm this. Did acid test and passed with flying colors. Also found this:

Wow, that's a cool piece of gold. I like the monogram on it. Congrats and glad you found a beach to do some detecting on.

Nice. Good to see some more CA action.

I think the warranted means gold filled. Nick it with a file and put acid on the cut, green fizz means gold filled.

Pretty sure warranted with a year after it means gold filled. Warranted with no date is solid. Ran it down pretty good with my "testing stone" and no change in color in metal, held solid at 14k

I'm glad it's real, congratulations
