I still hope one day it is found. May take some muriatic acid to clean it up. Not sure what that does to metal though. Oops! Google says a bad idea: What Happens When You Put Gold in Muriatic Acid?. Okay, something else then that doesn't react with gold.

Glad to hear you are 16 years going strong together!

Oh well. It wasn't the one. I knew it was a long shot but it was fun to think I might see it again! I imagine mine is well crusted over with coral. Now that I'm mostly over the loss I think it's fitting. Thanks everyone for all of your effort! That was amazing!

Bummer. I was hoping for something great.

Or one of the bad people in my cynical world found it and sold it or gave it to his bride to be.

Is that an emerald cut? It doesn't look round.

Wow, you guys are impressive. I really appreciate and am humbled by the community effort. Although even though it didn't pan out (pun intended) this will make a good campfire story.

I think that may be putting melted gold in HCl. In melted gold, it will react with the impurities. I don' think it will harm "solid" gold or diamonds.

Here they recommend vinegar: Can I Clean Gold With Hydrochloric Acid?
