Tiniest ring ever if its real!

Of course I went back up to the AdLawn! Not a whole lot to report but if this little piece of metal is gold then its the smallest, thinest ring I’ve ever recovered.

Spent a couple hours just wandering and a little gridding on the main large lawn, a clad quarter, dime, nickel, and a couple pennies was all I got coin wise. But, as I entered the big lawn I got a clear 34-35 hit (nickel/tab divide line) and checked it. Depth was 2” or less so used the Garrett to locate it exactly. Carefully cut a small plug top with the hand trowel and expecting a pull tab saw a glint of gold! At first I thought it was an earring but once out of the plug realized it was an intact circle so maybe a ring?
This little item was super thin and I tried to see if any marks inside the band and it looks like maybe….. jkline came over and looked as well and thinks there might be a mark too but questioned the semi flat or squared edges. Not going to know until I get home and get it cleaned up better.
Once home, and under a better loupe, it does does appear to be marked on the inside. As best I can try and read it I think its +k+ but just not positive. This little band is just really thin and not really bendable to any degree. Decided I will probably take it in and get it tested to fInd out for sure.
Oh, I did recover a Malaysian 20 SENS coin dated 1973 (about the exact size of a quarter but same value as a US nickel. Gotta love a campus!!

I can't get your pictures to enlarge, but from what I can see it looks gold. In fact, almost all the gold bands I have found with the F 75 were 30/31, + or -, a couple of digits. That definitely is a thin one, though. Get it checked an good find. HH jim tn
 
That is a very thin and tiny ring. Maybe a toe ring?

can you give a better pic of the markings ?
 
I tried but just no way to get it clear. Tried to enlarge pic and screen shot but too big a file it says…..

Friend looked at it and believes its a gold plated washer/spacer used in high end sound equipment or in electronics/computers. This makes a certain amount of sense as there are numerous tents and music systems set up during the beginning of school.
