Ever find Fake jewelry? It's a first for me! A bracelet showing 925 hallmark.
My Detector never lies to me! This piece of Foreign crap had a Low tone. - My 1st clue. But, I did find a knife , and an old brass door hinge, so not a bad day.
Is it possible that only the individual finding marked .925 is silver, and the rest are not? I have seen pieces before that had some findings and beads that were .925, and other findings and beads not. I have also found chains that were plated base metals with .925 clasps.
Well, that's very interesting & good to know. I have found a lot of Silver, and this is a first. Odd to me that it's in the Iron/ Foil range on the detector, never had that happen. & Thanks!!
I got a 27 gram silver figaro style italian bracelet.rung up at about 55...but in a couple test swings with it in differant positions I could get it as high as 70 and as low as 50.links are really funny...does look legit,snag a test kit from amazon
and heck yes I've dug fakes,never silver but 4 or 5 fake 14k italy pieces.
Always test it to be sure. There could be other metal near it in the ground, it could be mixed with other metal. I haven't found marked fake silver, yet, but I have found marked fake gold.
Son brought home a heavy flat chain necklace he bought marked .925, he told me it wasn't real because he only paid $10. for it. The TH'er in me just had to test it, he was right, its junk marked .925, so the fake stuff is out there!
It wasn't magnetic either.
