Two Finger Bar Ring 10k

[mn90403]

Last night I just had to get OUT and detect.  We haven't had many waves but you just have to get out in the night sky and low tide and detect.  A few dry sand coins and then only a nickel for over a mile.  On the way back I got a bit of an iffy signal and it turned out to be a corroded, copper cross.  At least it was something.  While I was digging it around 1 AM a guy came up to me and just was asking questions.  I told him about the energy needed to make targets get washed up.  I showed him what I found and upon his parting he wished me good finds.  That was nice.

About 20 minutes later I got a 12 with the 800/11 and dug down about 7 inches and discovered this 'thing' I've never seen before.  It's a ring but for two fingers.  Then I couldn't read it to know if it was real or not.  I couldn't make out a k so I thought it might be cheap.  When I got it home I could see some workings and also read 417.  It weighs 6.7g.  The internet says it is 10K.  Yahoo!  It has been a few months since a gold ring ... that this one is a double.  But what do you call it?  What are the key words?

 

 

I found this one online for sale from a pawn shop.  It is 3.6g.

That is a 2 finger bar ring, some people think it is cool to wear, and some call it a knuckle bar.

The people who I have seen wearing them use them like brass knuckles.

Very nice find, congrats.

Nice find! Been around the block a time or two myself and that's the first 2 finger bar ring I recall ever seeing found. Pretty neat. HH jim tn

I didn't know there was such a thing. Cool find. You would think it would be tougher to loose since it's on two fingers.

That is an awesome find!!!!  I hope that becomes some kind of fad in Mexico!!

Congrats on breaking out of that gold slump and in less than ideal conditions. That sure is an unusual and cool looking ring - maybe that is why it is priced so high on Ebay.

I think the reason why it is so expensive is that it is listed by a PAWN SHOP.

I went into the Pawn Stars shop a couple of times in the past and no matter what I looked at (pool cues or metal detectors), the asking price exceeded the value in my opinion.  I didn't buy anything.

That's a honker, congrats on the gold and well hone!

Real pawn shops have to compete with online prices and also have to sell online to survive these days, so that should be a competitive price on that ring. The PawnStars shop adds a hefty TV/tourist attraction premium to everything they sell because they can. 😉

If it wasn't gold , I'd think it's ugly with a capital UG.

BUT seeing that it is gold , I say yup yup sweet chunka !
