First time MD finds

Don't be dissapointed if the ring tests out as a counterfeit. It happens all the time. 
Rings are notorious for counterfeit operations. The US government does little or nothing
to stop the influx of counterfeit jewelry comming into the US as real.
Gold fakes are very common and now the silver is fast becomming a staple for the counterfeit operations.
I recently tried to sell a 100 gm "Italy 925 Silver" necklace. It tested out as copper with silver plating.
I have to admit I was fooled into thinking it was real.
It hit in the silver range "Garrett 350" and did not react to a magnet.
Also the stones, a pawn shop can test them for you. Just act like you may want to sell them.
Good luck in finding missing stones.

BTW: I really like that lock! I got one too, mine was "chisled" cut/open.

	Gold ring missing huge stone..have to test what K ?

That ring may not be gold, just sort of gold in color. All gold rings have a stamp inside of them with their gold content. Also, you don't normally see gold rings with a split to adjust them at the base. Just have a closer look. I believe your first gold ring is still out there waiting for you.
