Is this 14k or 18k? Thanks https://picasaweb.google.com/100428378809615332625/Gold?authkey=Gv1sRgCLff89zk5sT9lAE
Vinegar :lol: where did you get that from There is no way of testing gold for purity without a XRF machine ,acid is destructive & not very accurate unless you have been using it for many years . Run a magnet over it ,that will only tell you if it is gold ,maybe Dependanig on the alloys used
just do the acid test gosh it ain't that destructive... rub a little on stone we are talking micro stuff and its accurate enough to tell u if you have minimum 14kt or 18kt .
Just make sure you google search 'Acid Test' before trying to use car batteries There are Acid Test Kits available to buy from jewellery supply stores See this list
I probably wouldn't want to acid test that...anywhere... or let anyone else acid test it. Nice Pope Pius and Saint Marry medal though. Thanks for sharing it with us Brando
you dont stick fkn acid on the article gosh that DIGGIN middle ages stuff :| you DIG a wee bit off the insignificant area of medal such as DIGGIN bail or loop
brando, wrong thread buddy, plus most people want to know purity before handing over cash/silver advertise in Buy, Sell & Swap forum (scroll down the Index of silverstackers to observe categories).
