Ain't Pretty....First 24k ring

[bob.oz]

It sure ain't pretty, but I broke through my 18k ceiling this morning with this 6.1g 24k ring. Using the 705/HF DD Elliptical coil I got a 10/14 broken scratchy signal that was maybe 3 or 4 inches down in the hard beach sand. It looked a lot like brass to me when I first saw it with its dull finish ( It did buff up to a nice gold finish), but in my hand I could feel the weight and although I could not read it, I could make out a hallmark. It's not joined/soldered together, very soft/pliable and pretty beat up. I got a magnifying glass out of my pouch and was grinning ear to ear when I saw the 9999 stamp. It has, from what I can tell, been buried in the sand for some time since I found it in a spot that gets no beach rake cleaning. GL ALL

Typical of middle east gold rings. Dint know why they dont soldier together. Lots of chains have an s hook type clasp. The good thing aboutbthat style... Is they are lost easier ;-)

Congrats on the 24k... so bizarre that they make such a high purity ring in such a cheesey fit-all style... great find for sure ...

Some countries you cant take it out of the country in bullion form so they make it into jewelry...

So small and yet such a good weight! I love gold!

Thanks for the explanation on it mcb613............sure makes resizing easy
Cheesey is right Bhpa, not a ring worth keeping, but worth recasting as a first to remember....going to see if my jeweler has a nautical/fish mold pendent I like.
Thanks ALL

I think it is quite purty. Its Yellow and Its Gold. Makes it beautiful in my Book.
