Being the little kid that I am, I went to the Dollar Store to get me some candy. Got out of the car and took about 2 steps, looked down and there it was. Picked it up, put in pocket, got my candy, came home and tested the gold. Tested at 14k but I will have to go to a jeweler for confirmation. Pretty sure it's gold.

nice on Al thumbsup01 couldn't tell you how many times i found jewelry or money by keeping my eyes on the ground . once i found two one hundered dollar bills folded up laying just in front of a gas pump , the person must of used his charge or debit card to buy the gas and when they pulled it out had some mad money in the sleeve as well. hey i gotta ask what kind of candy did the youthful boy get.

Sweet :shocked04:

I've never eyeballed gold or detected it lol

It's eluding me like the plague! I've found gold plated, gold filled and just recently rolled gold. Each time I find it the plating keeps gets thicker. :hysterical:

Congrats on the gold! |:cheering:

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't see it, but what it is exactly? A pin? Earring? What kind of shape is that? It almost looks like a cowboy hat. :thinkingabout:

It's a pin of some sort. I agree that the design looks like a hat, maybe a Red Hat Society pin... lol.

No markings but I can see where it has been runover and scraped and its not showing any signs of plating. Even in the deep gouges its gold.
