Test for iron defficiency

I was reading an article recently about runners being low in iron. I then recalled in high school that a girl with anemia claimed that if you rub a gold ring on your face and you are low in iron, it will leave a dark mark. Has anyone ever heard of this? Well, my race performances have been suffering for the last few months, so I tried it with my wedding band. Guess what? It left a dark streak on my face. I tried it on my wife, same thing. It would not work on either of my kids (a boy and a girl). I started taking a multivitamin with 18mg of iron and after about 3 weeks my performances started improving. Also, the ring no longer leaves a dark streak on my face. Comments?
