I found this ring deep under ground and it was really bent up so I tried to fix it but I broke it into a few pieces. I later figured out that this was no normal gold ring, the company that made these rings only used gold from the 1800's gold rush. I feel really bad no. I might as well melt

Ouch. Nice find btw, but hopefully you can get that fixed. Idk why but it always seems those things "I can do it" turn out to be more work in the end.
Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
Thats a really cool piece!!
Specially since the company that made it only used gold rush gold!
Congrats!

That's unique too!
Just a guess, I wonder if the band is 10K and the flowers are the 12K... maybe?
