Your friend may be right but the cross could be gold. We cannot make a positive ID from the pictures. Many jewelry stores and coin shops will do a free gold test. If it feels heavy and does not show other signs of being fake, take it in and see what a expert says. If it does not cost you anything, you have nothing to lose and maybe a lot to gain. We are out here pulling for you.

Hey, Jerryrigg, your friend is right on the cross. I found the exact cross a year ago and just last month took some of my finds in to be checked. The pawn shop said it looked real & was sure it was 14K even when the machine said it was not. So I took it to a jeweler who had a new top of the line tester. He took it in the back & then came out to report that I had a 14k solid brass cross. Yep even though it is marked 14k it is Brass. It feels, looks, & is heavy like gold but it is a fake. It was a hoot finding it but oh well maybe next time.
