Question about something I found at the beach

[NJCTXUSER]

Dug a big crucefix today at the beach at 12-15

But to look at the thing it looks like it might be stainless steel

But my understanding is if that were true it would read like a quarter

There are no markings on it

What kinds of metals would read that low

I really don't think it's white gold becuase hey I can't be that lucky

As I'm doing this on a iphone I can't post a pic

Found a stainless ring that read 12:06 the other day. Stainless reads low.

Stainless can read as low as foil.

Yep...Stainless steel rings in low, in the gold tones...so does tungsten, titanium, all sorts of other amalgams like 'lustrium'..our worse nightmare!
