I had only an hour for metal detecting so thought I'd return to Jewel Lake Park.  Halfway through working the volleyball court I thought I found my first gold ring!  My reaction is real but pretty funny in hindsight.  The ring looked great but then my confidence started to fade as it was found not to have a stamp/jeweler's mark and was very light.  I stopped by a jewelry store and they tested it for 14K, which it is not.  They didn't have the acid for a 10K test.  They tried to make me feel better by saying there's "a chance" it is 10K.  If anyone has an opinion please comment.  Thanks.
