    I ran all the coin I have and wrote it down, Knowing a $200 gold coin is 22k gives a 22k value and the kugarand has a slightly Different one. Just so even if its a blob you can see what the metal was. I find I can get a good idea on wide Jewelry with the small wand I can work out some buy values. But they dont recommend that

    Most ppl I asked on this 'Measurement' mode tells me S-PMV measures the density of the item (metal).... I'm not sure the pureity of that blob, surely not 999+ like new blobs and, its uneven surface, makes it harder for me to get accurate value... I'm sure if this blob gets scanned with XRF machine it'll show the true finness

    An XRF sh*&s on it but I dont want to wast 20k. all I know if I use the small wand I can get similar Measure but as you say you can alter that by an uneven surface or a two small peace to cover but that coin it came with gives a more accurate scan on what Ive checked out.

    The Precious Metal Verifier Measurement Mode allows the user to see a measured value for the item under test. The value is related (close, but not exact) to the resistivity of the metal being tested. Identical metals will have identical values. In this way different alloys and metals can be characterized. To enable this function

    So, as per my pics, I should try other coins...like $200 koala or 22c sovereigns, to get the measurement value and compare it to my blob and see if they're matched.. thus, that is the purity/fineness of my blob?
