schoolofhardNox Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I think that .417 is 10K. Really cool looking piece. Great find! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Yep, Schoolofhardnox is right. A 10k gold bracelet, you're a gold-finding detectorist now for sure. 👍 Congratulations! It's not engraved so you could put your name on it. 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexHunter Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Sirius, it looks like there may have been something, that is now missing, mounted in the rectangular opening. Great find... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still i'm surprised that I found this piece, it definitely took alot of effort to find due to all the trash. Though to be fair I found it in the field so it was more tolerable as there were less targets. It also looks corroded in some places; mainly this one nub that looks like copper tarnishing. Also some parts of the chain looks like it was welded together and is also tarnishing? I could also be dirty cause I didn't clean it very well. The rest of the chain and center panel look fine though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 41.7% gold, 58.3% something else like silver and/or copper. Great find for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH the fact that I thought it was junk ruined the moment initially! But now i'm quite happy with the find! I went back to the same park today, but this time it only gave up a stainless steel ring that is way too big for my fingers. It's a Spikes stainless steel ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the other metals corroding and showing through. Still 41% gold tho 👍 damn good start. Research your finds! Don't chuck anything until you do. Look for hallmarks, I couldn't find "L&S" other than it's a Birmingham England Hallmark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does not survive a tumble and shine right up then it goes in the junk box (let neighbor kids pick from) or into the garbage can. Your bracelet may just clean right up. strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something I came across in looking, might have been in a PDF. Search for "gold makers mark L&S", or "gold hallmark L&S" If you want to make sure you get a specific thing you would type: gold makers mark "L&S" Good luck. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
