In the past 3 years we've had a problem with a nasty algae buildup on our lake in the summer. The association decided to lower the lake level by 4 feet in an effort to let the winter cold freeze out the culprit. Yeah!!! I thought this would be an opportunity to find some of the stuff the swimmers left behind. It was 67 degrees last Saturday, so I spent about 3 hours along the newly exposed shoreline. I found a lot of the usual lake trash, but in addition to a handful of clad, I found a man's wedding band with a band of ridged rubber in the center. It has no markings inside, so I have no idea of its' makeup. It rang up a 41-42 on the AT Pro. My question is......is there any way to determine if it is Titanium, Tungston, Stainless or what? At least it is not just another bottle cap! :lol: When it stops raining, I will be back trying to find the real thing.

Thanks for your reply Glen. That's what I figured, but was not sure. If anyone should know, it would be you. God Bless.
