AARC Thank you for the privilege of your time stopping here..For me after working many many years making medical devices that saves lives ..a couple of them is the US Blood Bank our devices are in the blood testers before the blood is stored and the new rapid Covid tester..on the other hand when I look at the amount of posts some people put up in the thousands they are the ones that set a example for others here.i hope to grow in this forum and one way for me to achieve this is to learn and listen for together even though we are many many miles apart going forward our journey remains the same as we continue to search for that elusive pot of gold..in closing thanks for your advice and hope your next hunt is truly rewarding. All the best Bill

Please enlighten me on the real gold sinks to the bottom test? Doesn't all metal sink to the bottom? What am I missing? Do you add something to the water?

lol...

Sheesh I must admit.. I did not read the "sinking in water part". heh... I just saw the Tested / real I guess... err or >? ? ?

Um Bill...who told you this ? ? ?

This means absolutely nothing btw.

trdking. Hi good question and thanks for the privilege of your time,,all of this started because I never thought to clean a item first and it was doubtful that perhaps it’s not gold,So I went online and there are a few things that one can do at home rather than exposing myself in a crowded jewelry store now,,one of the items mentioned was gold will rest on the bottom in water where some others may rest slightly above the bottom,I did everything the guide told me to do other than use nitric acid in which I don’t have handy,,

[billb]

AARC hi right or wrong I just went online and the guide mentioned to try a few things,please check online when you have time thanks

[billb]

AARC. Please let’s go back to the beginning,I thought it would be proper to share a-nice find that had 14k stamped in two places,by never thinking of cleaning first viewers thought perhaps differently,so with this in mind I had to also prove to myself that I had some homework to do,,so I went online and at www.sbcgold.com there were a few things to try,remember I’m not a jewelry expert I was just trying to maybe Check a few things myself,,also please tell trdking to please check also,,I hope all this helps my friend

AARC the article starts with Scottsdale July 24 2014 How to test gold 5 simple ways to spot fake gold,,I hope you can locate it

[AARC]

Welllll... heres the deal.

Believe 1/10th of the internet... heh no exaggeration.

All metal sinks.

Never heard of a floating metal... near bottom or not.

[ArfieBoy]

Great to hear of your positive results on your gold pin! Congratulations!

AARC hi remember I was just looking for advice here so I did what I thought is right,I find it so so hard to believe that people were at first doubtful so I had to start doing my homework ,,I was asked to do some testing in which I did ,,if I was wrong with my thoughts I would be the first to admit it,thanks Bill
