I went detecting at a local snow sledding hill today and I dug a ring. It had spots of gold showing but it was VERY cruddy, and the crud had a greenish hue to it. Junk ring with gold plating I figured and tossed it into my bag. I wanted to clean it up when I got home (just now) just for the sake of, well I was bored I guess. I took a pocket knife and went to scraping. Scrape, scrape, scrap. No copper, no silver, no under coat. The spots I thought were corroded was just crud stuck to it. I finally got enough scraped out of the inside to read <symbol>30 14K R.G.P. My crude little scale reads it weight at 1/2 ounce. It was 8 inches deep under a tree root.
Something gold plate? Never heard of RGP. Googled gold RGP and found nothing. Coudl be initials. I am going to carefully continue cleaning it and see what I get.
Pictures coming soon. What is your opinion?
