The ring has no number stamping, but sinks in a cup of water and is not magnetic? Anything else I can use at home to test it? I don't have nitric acid.

FYI it has also passed the white vinegar test!!

Post a pic

Here ya go.

You know what is scary about society today? We might be within a few years or so when someone could look at the picture above (because of the fingerprints) and determine exactly where a person lives. Am I being too paranoid?

By the way, nice going on finding the ring.

Steve, I was thinking the SAME THING, but I did not post it. Scary is right! And NO, you're not being too paranoid, this is where it's all heading. The book 1984 was a little early, but it's all coming to fruition.

I found a gold/diamond necklace on the floor at the mall in the middle of the food court. I ate my lunch and watched for about 10 minutes as people kept walking past/over it before I picked it up. Went to the mall lost and found to see if anyone lost any jewelry that day... nope. I brought it to a jeweler a week afterward; 100% real, worth about $500. The gold is 18K too.

I took it to 2 jewelry stores and they claimed they had no way to tell if it was real. I took it to a pawn shop and they rubbed it on this black block that they had, and they said it wasn't gold bc it left no lines on the block...

So, I have no clue what to do with it now. Sure looks real to me!!

More likely, the photo's meta data already has the Lat/Long of where the photo was taken embedded in it. When you take and then upload the photo, the meta data remains integrated into the .jpg file. A good photo tool will easily reveal the meta data.

The way around that is to open the photo on your computer, take a screenshot with the "Print Screen" key, then open a photo editing program and paste the screenshot into a new image file. This new pic will not have any of the photo's original meta data.
