Heres one I just tested, turns out it's gold!

I found this class ring a couple of years ago. It's white and there is no karat stamp on it.
I assumed it was one of those cheapie class rings that are so common anymore.
I put it on my electronic tester this morning, and it read 12K. I doubted that, so I got a fine knife stone and rubbed down just under the surface of the ring on the bottom.
To my surprise it held steady at 10K for several tries.
so, it gets entered in my records as a gold find.
I don't remember where I got it anymore, so it will end up eventually being recycled by Midwest refineries in Michigan.
A good place to sell my scrap rings, by the way.
Anyhow, I've been aching for something to "show and tell". <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
For Dusty Diver: it's a find, oh yes it is, no whining!!

Congrats!...it's always great when a questionable stowed find turns out to be a precious metal. What is the price range on the electronic testers for various metals??
thanks and HH,
Andy

I've had mine for almost five years. It's a Mizar, and very easy to use.
In mine, you put three drops of the dark stuff, and one drop of the clear stuff.
You put the clip on the item to test, and hold the edge of it in the solution cup for a couple of seconds. The lights come on and tell you the karat, or it says "no gold"
IMPORTANT!! Always clean the test port thoroughly immediately after use. I wick the nasty stuff out with a kleenex, then wipe the bowl out with a damp kleenex. Thats a MUST DO in order to get accurate tests, and not corrode your analyzer.
I wouldn't be without mine. They are always up for sale on ebay. Just type in "electronic gold tester" Have a good one, I'm even going hunting today!!!
