Gold or a fool

[michelob]

I just found an old ring today at a park that goes back to civil war times that is stamped with"solidxgold". It sure looks like gold and has the weight. Can anyone tell me anything about this?

Here is a pic of the inside. There is another stamp next to the "solidxgold" that looks like an "S" but I can't be certain.

Thanks! That's my first gold ring. I've been hunting for over 25 years. Better late than never i guess. I'm typically focused on the silver and don't dig anything lower than an indian head. The only reason I dug it is because the site had civil war activity and my mindset was relic hunting.

Thanks again! HH.
