Thanksgiving Morning was GOLDEN!!

[catskillcomics]

Went out this morning for a quick 1 hour hunt.. went to a park I've hit over and over, at 7 I found this great men's gold ring. :shocked04:
It scaled at .19 OZ or 5.6 Grams.
My only concern is that when I read the Marking is reads 14 K <S> (S inside a diamond) I am really hoping that S is a company marking and not indicating Gold over Silver or I'll be disappointed. :-\
I did a quick search online but nothing indicates that the S means Sterling so I hope Im in the clear.
I love the holiday lol

Wow, what a great find! I am jealous that you were able to get out on Thanksgiving morning. I'm stuck tending the turkey and cleaning the house!

Congrats...

That's a really nice find you made. What reading did it come in as?

I think you are in the clear. I've never seen that <s> as a composition marking. There is plated, heavy plated, and filled.

You really do have something to be thankful for. thumbsup01 Nice find.

Great dig! At 5.6 grams, I'm sure it's solid gold and not plated. Also, that <s> is more than certainly the makers mark. A little research should find it. At 7 deep it could be an older ring, though how old I don't know. How'd it come up on the detector?

Thanks guys, I am stoked about this ring, this is my first gold ring in two years.
It kept bouncing around 45-75 vdi range (pull tab then to penny), with the occasional 80/81 (dime)
Beings it was deep I figured it was worth the dig. I really was thinking it was going to be a wheatie or silver dime near some trash.

Nice ring. We get our share of silver, but gold is still rare and special thumbsup01 I don't know a lot about rings, but I'm with everyone else on it being gold and not plated or filled, etc... Probably a maker's mark is my guess also. Nice dig this late in the year.
