2011年1月18日 · Hey guys, I was at the grade school scoping things out and found a 18k hge ring, not worth much but beautiful stone and unique design. Anyway it has a diamond shape stamp after the hge with a v in the middle. Anyone know what that means?

2016年12月23日 · I was thinking maybe a war nick or a ring. And to my pleasant surprise it turned to being an "old school" nugget design 18k gold ring! It was about 6" down. It weighs in at 11.33 grams. The nuggets on the ring are so shinny with the lighting that it shows up as grayish darken spots on the photos, but it is not. UPDATE--it is HGE (gold filled ...

2013年7月12日 · Not sure about that triangle, could be a maker's mark but I have seen it before. I dug one up with an open triangle myself, once. Whatever it is it does look like real gold...the rocks just might be real, too, and they can be tested easily enough if you are not sure.

2006年4月14日 · I suspect that may have been a fresher drop from the area that I found it. The other one has another man’s name and a 2016 date and I suspect has been lost for a few years. I acid tested it at home and flies through 14K, holds 18K for a long while. I even tried the 22K and it held for a little bit. I’m calling the ring 13.8 grs of 18K.

2022年2月19日 · Only on very rare occasions do I find mismarked jewelry. It is DONE ON PURPOSE TO DECEIVE. Though some marks could be hard to decifer/unknown , etc. Could have HGE stamp = Heavy Gold Electroplate. Be careful of PL on silver and some gold colored jewelry. Could stand for PLumb ( the best on gold) or PLated or even PLatinum. Have had some 14k marked gold turn out to be 10k when tested , though ...

2008年5月14日 · Make a long scratch. Take a drop of 10K acid (yellow cap bottle) and see if it holds. If so then a drop of 14K acid in the middle of the scratch. If it holds then a drop of 18K acid on the far end. Any acid that dissolves the scratch shows it is lower than that. You chance the ring is 22K is slim in all cases so don't start with that acid.

2024年12月23日 · Tossed it in my pouch thinking copper. Shocked to see 18k stamp given the color. It is heavy like gold so that's why I thought I'd ask.

2023年12月14日 · Here’s Nox 800 numbers for some different gold rings I tested when I first got my Nox. No plain bands in this example, but they usually hit around 11. Same for plat bands. Depends on size, white or yellow, any coatings, weight, etc. I had a smaller plat at 7, a 18k at the beach at 7, and a 14k class ring at 16.
