I ordered my gold test kit and it’s here (less than $20 U.S. dollars with shipping).
It includes acid to test silver and platinum.
The reason why I needed this test kit is that last year I found two items that I believed were silver but had no markings.
The heart shaped locket cover particularly bothered me because even though the detector reads it as a dime, when you drop it, it doesn’t sound like the silver rings I have.
So I tested them this morning and I was surprised to find that the locket cover tested as 80%-90% silver. The ring tested at 90%-100% silver. I also tested my gold rings just to practice.
No more relying on Pawn Shops to test my stuff!
Thank you for looking!
