Took the 1236X2 to a local school, right behind the house. Found a bunch of clad and playground trash as expected:
....and what appears to be a worn wedding band. I've never seen markings such as those in the band, and like any detectorist, I've seen more than a few:
It is a tad bit heavier than the average band, too, weighing 8.44 grams according to my scale. It ID's at 27-29 on my F70, which is just below nickels, at 30-32. By comparison, my 14K gold wedding band ID's at 44 on the F70.
I'm thinking it's stainless or German silver ("nickle silver"), although the latter would be unlikely, as this isn't seen much these days. Even more unlikely would be platinum, although the "P" marking inside the band might lead one to that conclusion.
What do you guys think? Stainless? German silver? Platinum?
