I found a ring on the gold fields. It's broken.
How do I tell if it's gold or not?
It has what looks like a hallmark. Like the Rebel Alliance logo from star wars. And a rectangle stamp with two blobs in the middle.
I found an old map from 1899 which showed the location of a miners hut. The ring was found near the hut site. The map said 'Williams Hut'.
I would like to imagine that the ring belonged to the miner who had the hut, or maybe his wife (as it's a bit too small for my fingers). But maybe it was dropped by another prospector, or washed down the creek in a flood. Is there any way to tell how old it is?
Apologies for the poor photos I took with my camera phone. I will clean the ring tomorrow and take some better photos.
