I thought it might be white gold at first. But when you file test it you can clearly see that it is plated copper. Apparently this type of fake gold is very common. The detectorists call it "flea market gold". The 14k mark is like a bag with a Gucci label- if it sounds too good to be true, it was probably made in China.
