Jim is spot on. It sounds like somebody had a leak because a new O-ring wouldn't seal by virtue of it being on top an old embedded one and tried to seal it up with silicone. I'd guess the old ring is still in there.
You can get pretty aggresive trying to get it out. As Jim said, a good hard pick works best, but any sturdy narrow blade will do the trick. The old ring will be hardened and have a sheen like metal when you scrpae it, but it will have a feel that is obviously different from the iron around it. It may be hard to start, and may require some nursing (more picking than pulling on the ring) to keep it coming out once you do get it started, but it will come out. You can usually see some red on the bottom of the channel as reassurance that you've got it out.
Most new filters I've seen for them come with the new gasket.
