Look what slithered into the scoop today......

[Steve in PR]

I was elated to see this snake show up in the scoop. I sometimes get a worm or 2 in it so this cousin was a welcome visitor.

10.1 grams of probably 10 Kt. It isn't marked but that does not surprise me. I have found other similar without markings. It is definitely solid. I will test it later as well as the small earring that I found. I think I have a match to the earring.....

He looks plated in the pic dude. The gold looks thin in certain areas. Let us know, hope he is real, cuz that's a good hunk, no matter how you slice him.

I performed a deep gouge test on the back in various places. If it were plated, I would normally have exposed the silver or copper that underlies the gold plating. The only material that emerges is gold. I have done the test before and I am 100% certain that I have exceeded any plating thickness.

The piece is solid.

I have "enhanced" the picture. I have increased the brightness and slightly increased contrast. It was shot under a fluorescent lamp and the color/hue may be affected by my camera's ability to render a natural color under fluorescent lighting.
