Are hip-hop grillz (gold teeth) solid gold?

[flbeachboy]

My father, my friend, and I went out to the ocean last night after dark during high tide and hit the water’s edge as it receded. After about an hour my friend pulls a target out of about two foot of water and made a beeline over to me with a crazy look on his face. He has made some jokes before about “getting his gold grill today” but today was the day ….

The funny part was when he found the target he dumped the first scoop full because he heard a good signal back in the hole. But for good measure he ran his coil back over the pile and found a good signal in the pile ! The 12.2 gram gold teeth was in the pile and as I said before he raced over to show me without digging the second good signal . Well needless to say, he was not able to locate that second target back down in the water but has earned himself some street cred regardless …

So have any of you ever found gold teeth? Was it gold plated or solid ?

The gold teeth are called a "Grill" and are solid gold, normally from 10-14k but I did see an 18k with a diamond posted last summer. nice find. Tell your buddy to quit making rookie mistakes and stay with his targets.
