I found this ring in a jewelry lot at the flea market yesterday for $15. The ring was practically brown and extremely dirty. My guess is it somehow was wet and some other metal oxidized and was showing a copper color. I cleaned the ring with toothpaste and it no longer shows the copper color. Clearly marked 14k and passed an acid test. I have been doing this for years, and it’s definitely available to be had for VERY cheap. You definitely have to look hard, and I don’t find nearly what I used to but you would be surprised. In the last 5 weeks I’ve found 20+ grams, along with a gold cameo and a ton of silver.
