[QUOTE="Bullwinkle, post: 465411, member: 9564"] Thanks Heatho, It has got the markings on the inside, but I got a Jeweller mate of mine to check it out and unfortunately its not gold. Apparently at the start of the rushes brass rings were sometimes sold to unsuspecting prospectors (while they were still green) as Australian gold for a memento. So I suspect that this could be one of those. Irrespective of what its made of, I am rapt to have found it as its a nice looking piece and a rare piece of our history. [/QUOTE]
