Finally! Real Gold in the Scoop this Morning

[SusanMN]

A couple of days ago I posted my nearly one ounce "gold" necklace, marked 14k, that tested to be junk. There were a few questions about how I tested that necklace so I photoed my latest find as I tested it on my Mizar. I pulled this jumbo earring out of the water this morning, but it was so large and heavy I didn't think it could be real, and I couldn't read the marks on it. It comes in at 3.7 grams which is heavier than a lot of womens ring's, and as you can see, tested as real 14k.

Its actually some pink stone, just looks,white from the flash. No clue what it is.

Congrats of the Gold find. I do however have a couple of questions... where would a guy find a gold tester like the one in the picture and what kind of price range would I be looking at? Thanks and congrats again...

Great Find, Congrats on the gold!

That's so big, that it must have been pretty uncomfortable to wear for a long day!

You can buy it through Amazon - $88. Kind if expensive but it is so easy to use and very accurate.

You could probably buy that brand of that Gold Tester on Ebay, or other online jewelry stores. I see them going anywhere $80-$120. The tester that SusanMN used is called, Gold Tester Electronic ET-18 Mizar. Mizar ET-18 Electronic Gold Tester

Keep in mind some of the Gold Testers on Ebay are cheap, but used, but if you want to buy a new one, you would have to pay a bit more money for it.

For a bit less money you could always buy gold testing acid online.
