Thinking in buying 10 grams of pure bar gold and make a chain good idea or not?
I’m hold you to that free gold test..🤣
A yellowish metal of copper and zinc? Is that Brass?
Yo that thickness is exactly what I’m looking for what’s the mm? Thanks in advance. I like the Franco style
I have heard about tungsten being used in commercial bars for years. Based on what you said I assume there is no way to find out if there is tungsten inside other than drilling the bar.
Is that correct. Subscribed and liked. Very helpful video.
You are definitely a real businessman who cares about their business and the businesses of others like you we appreciate everything you do
This comment is nice man. Good to see people still see the genuineness behind his story. He comes from not a whole lot. This man is self made. A man with a dream. I'm sure his family may have had some involvement in getting his business off the ground or if it already was they most likely helped him & his business make a name for themselves & put them on the map. Iv never been but I imagine NYC is quite competitive especially in a place like the gold/diamond district where you can literally walk down the street corner to corner & pass by jeweler after jeweler comparing prices and quality. This man is an OG and I love his mission & everything he stands for. No shady shit w this dude. He truly still does not get even close to the recognition he deserves.
is he jewish? seems so
If you are not you will not be in the business for long.
Glazing ass comment lmao
Finally someone who puts the effort to educate people vs scam them. Well done man!!
But, he never really tells you how to "spot" fake gold. Sure, he mentions acid test, lab test, and weight. However, who has an acid test kit at the ready, or is going to wait for lab results? The weight (which really should be explained as density) is a good indicator; except that (as he explains) Tungsten is way to close to rely on it, solely. So, again, how do we spot fake gold?
57% gold. It doesn’t exist, 14 carat has 58.5% gold.
@@tomb816 you cant "spot" real gold? what do you expect, for him to give us a tutorial on how to spot copper mixed with zinc just by smelling it? gold is literally a metal that can be replicated and isn't easy to test.
What! You consider gold not easily testable, but think nuclear transmutation is easy (that you mention replication)?
Clear cut, he makes it easy to understand unlike many other videos
I like how this guy exposes the shady parts of the jewelry industry, kudos to you sir! You really put the emphasis on the saying that "not all that glitters is gold".. there are a ton of crooks out there cheating customers out of their money. Buying jewelry isn't just to show off that u have cash, but its a financial investment
Believe me when i tell you. That gold wont be worth shit if we ran out of food
@@miguelledezma1394We'll never run out of food
Actainium is a radioactive metal my guy! Lead is the least of your worries with that ring!
Wow! Who would have thought
@@DaftFader LOL great comments!
It just means you gonna be an avenger when you put it on. Like when that spider bit that kid.
“Actinium 227 is very radioactive and as dangerous as plutonium when speaking of radiation-induced health issues. Ingesting even small quantities is a serious hazard to health.”

I’ve stopped by Trax a couple years ago. You guys are really cool with the customers, very upfront, no games, very personable and friendly, unlike some of the other stores in the area. At some point I’m going to place an order for a Cuban link 18k gold chain from you guys because I found out that VIP makes your chains, and that’s a huge plus
@Random True Comment Guy name checks out.
@Random True Comment Guy staying true to your name. I see you and appreciate you.
A middle eastern man approached me while i was sitting in my truck waiting for my daughter to get off work, and said he and his wife were traveling and had run out of gas and showed me this same ring and asked me if i would buy it for $50. The ring looked like it was hand casted kind of rough on the edges. I told him I didn't have $50 , that all i had was a 20. so after him dropping his price 3 times sold it for $20. I figured if it turns out to be fake I'm not out too much money. so searching youtube for how to tell real from fake gold rings , I picked your video and low and behold you made this video on the same ring , I live in Iowa so there must be a whole bunch of these rings floating around the states! thank you for making this video
The same kind of guy literally just approached me with the same story him and his kids were traveling and ran out of gas offered me a ring a Rolex watch and some necklaces I paid $30 to the gas station for gas off the strength he gave me a ring and I just came home to watch this video. That’s crazy.
@@farrisbroaden5194was this in nyc
@@farrisbroaden5194they will all come up with a similar story
Thats a known scam method in Europe for already since atleast the 60’s.
You guys have been hit by the good old Gipsy fake gold ring scam. That guy might have looked Middle Eastern but is fact most likely from Romania. It’s a common scam here in the UK and the rest of Europe 🤣
I used to not like trax but i’m starting to like him after he teaching me stuff.
What does it matter what you think about him? Your bum ass cant afford anything he sells so in reality when he sees you, hes sees nobody.
Pabro hats off to you, that was good lol
Pabro how would u know if he can afford jewelry. He doesn’t have to be getting $1000 plus piece dumb ass
@@Exotic-P 🤣I hate to say it but it's true..
@@Exotic-P You could be arguing with a millionaires son
It's a piece of brass. Brass is an alloy of mainly copper and zinc with other metals sometimes to change it's properties. Most machined brass contains about 1-2 % lead to make it more machinable. It is not toxic unless you plan to grind it into a powder and eat it. If you could swallow the ring and let it go through your digestive system it would not hurt you. You would not get enough lead to hurt you. Sell it with some brass scrap at the scrap yard. It is not toxic to anyone.
To whoever reading this , never stop chasing your dreams you can do it . Keep pressing and thriving you will make it ! Consistency is the key to achieve your goals

Actinium is very rare and very radioactive. I'd love to know how a small amount found its way into the fake gold ring.
I belive its even more expensive than gold no?
Isn't it made in nuclear plants?
Yes very rare! In fact can only be found in Uranus
Not uncommon for XRF spectrometers to get confused by different elements with very similar peaks in their spectra
Yep expensive and Ridiculously Toxic.
I work at a pawn shop and I’ve personally seen that exact style ring. Someone in the Central Valley is going around scamming people for money at gas stations. Be careful.
Chinese counterfeits probably. Like 10% of there economy is based on making fake shit, you know they probably make fake shit to idk, lol
I just ran into a guy trying to get me here in Oregon. Had Cali plates
Had somebody pull up on me at the gas station today with a very similar ring, looked nice had good weight too lol too bad I don’t do business at the gas station
I’ve seen this scam numerous times. Working in this field, the seller (usually European immigrant of some sort) claims they are avoiding ICE and need quick cash for their gold. They also claim the reason they can’t pawn it is bc they are illegal w/o citizenship. Many people fall victim to this, and bless Trax for bringing light to these type of rings.
So does this fake gold pass magnet and acid tests? Is that why they took it to the lab?
I like this dude people say they don't like the way he comes across but he always gives it to you uncut no chaser
Okay question can you tell us some tips on how to spot gold when out buying it. I don't think everyone is going to do lab tests.
blaze butt don’t buy it on the street
@@curlyhairdudeify lmao hell no I'd never. I'm talking about like flea markets or bizzars
@@blazebutt505 If the jewelry store has been there for years it is safe. However, if it is free stand display that they can easily pick up and leave in an hour. Don't buy any, and don't get anything from them. I have been to Mexico, there are a ton of free standing stands and some even out of the back of vans selling "sterling silver" jewelry that is 100% fake; mostly in tourist areas, my mom bough a ring, sterling silver presumably. However, it stinks it has a weird metallic smell to it. The jewelry stores have a reputation to maintain.
@@curlyhairdudeify forsure I got a bracelet and rings from Mexico city but they never turned my fingers green or had a smell. But it came from a bizarre down there. I was so little at the time all I remember is that they had the jewelry there on red display cases. Now I wanna buy more gold I dont really know where to go. I mean I've been to jewelry shops but mostly all of them are charging rape even for "hollow" gold. But I've been to some bizzars around my area and I've seen Cubans and curbs big joints for less than a grand and heavy ones for less than 3 grand. The same style Cuban and curb but the jewelry stores would charge double. For example there was a Cuban I was looking at it was 24 inches and I think like 4mm a small joint didn't feel heavy and it was at a store. It was 3.5k and I go to the bizzar and I see a bigger wider Cuban for fucking 1.5-2k area and the old lady's love to haggle if you buy more. That's why I'm bugging basically
@@blazebutt505 If they are brick and mortar jewelry stores at those Latin bazaars, or Chinese they most likely are real. I bet they could test it out for you. I bought a 14k tri gold braided necklace for $700 dollars with the Chinese about 3-4 years ago. With $700 dollars I couldn't even buy a 10k gold necklace at today's prices. Also, Mexico is a good place to buy gold in jewelry stores.
You have inspired me to start a career in gold like you. I love your videos. I was never interested until I started seeing you. And now I’m a new subscriber and realized I love your hustle and I’m starting one. Thanks for the good work. Keep up the posts man
Hopefully your already rich because it's a hustle that requires at least a million dollars to start up with .
"When you mix copper and zinc you get a yellowish metal."
It's called brass.
XD
my favorite part was the actinium... it is highly radioactive
@@DrippyNews I would interpret the results like this: Cu and Zn are actually there by design. Anything else is probably a contaminant or a misidentified element. Those concentrations were so low that I wouldn't pay much attention to them.

You been on your shit bro. thats rare. thats king. Alot of jewelers burn out their own name. Yours has been going up since you stepped on the scene. STAY BLESSED BROTHA!
Cool video, dude. Enjoy watching them. All the way from the UK. Cheers
I used to think bad about this guy but now I see this guy speaks only the truth
Brother you’re such a great guy I really appreciate you taking your time out of your busy life to talk to us and you’re the only person that I will ever trust when buying jewelry! Much love brother keep up the good work:)
If I offend you I don’t care I’m gonna say it anyways here is a little advice bro bro this man is not someone you blindly trust as much as your simping for him because he clearly has the knowledge to really fuckin get off on you and chances are you won’t ever know and your blind faith should be only with someone who doesn’t know about it as much as you do and you can feel the situation out and discern that this person is being completely genuine but even at that end they wouldn’t even know how to mix metals in a way that passes the magnet test and tester kit etc basically just always remember and I’m sure the guy would say the same because I’m sure he’s been fucked over plenty of times and I’m not saying he fucks people over I’m only saying he knows how to and how to do it and not get caught and I know nothing about him or you I only saw your message and you look like a baby young cub and your words showcase to the bad people of the world this guys too trusting aka my next fuckin target and you’ll get taken and it fucking sucks man I know from experience. I lost 5,000$ when I was robbed from a guy I saw walking and told him he could catch a ride and stopped through a gas station for a drink and it was just a fucking second and I didn’t think wasn’t thinking/ am too trusting too and had it taken from my spot because he saw it I thought he didn’t and I just fucked up putting my self in a compromised position and then ended up eating the loss but it’s a lesson learned. I just don’t want you to make the same mistake and it’s only a matter of time if you continue to buy high dollar stuff that has a counterfeit market/ cutting process where a purity percentage can be manipulated and the buyer can be deceived if the seller decides to try to get over on you.
theirs a saying that goes like this.
Be careful of those who give their love away too easy they’ll take it away just the same. Same goes for trust. That is all I’ll say learn from my mistake don’t go all in on the trust preflop. It’s a recipe for disaster in the market you’re speaking about shopping in
he makes money on these videos
Im wondering what an acid test would reveal on that ring? Since there is no gold at all, what would the acid reveal on the scratch line. Thanks for sharing.
Actinium is radioactive it is about 150 times more reactive than radium
I'm pretty sure my step-dad just got scammed by this exact ring, I wish you showed a clearer view of what the top looked like.
Great tips, especially the part about the gold. Seriouzly doe, the part when you called the lead poison is one o' those "oh heck yeah" moments because many people, myself included, would not realize fake jewelry can be toxic. Third vid I've watched on this shiz and you're the first to bring up this crucial point. Many mucho thankies guy.
i would never attempt an acid test on my fly. ow.
I called this morning and left message. I want to have two custom rings made. No one has called me back. Part of message was that I would be available after 10 AM CST. I have been enjoying your videos but now having second thoughts about doing business. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make these types of videos.
yes he makes money from the videos
Still helpful though @@hvacdr
Love your videos man! If I'm ever in NYC and have some loot I'm coming through to see you!
Thanks for this video brother. While I’ve been buying/wearing and selling gold and diamonds for years, it’s important to help the next generation. It blows me away how the price of gold won’t change but the price of the same items, made of gold, does. I can see some fluctuations due to alloy prices etc. but even that is minimal at best. Due to hip hop popularizing gold, the scammers are EVERYWHERE!
So again, thank you sir. Many of your competitors would undoubtedly prefer you weren’t so open and honest.
Salute!
Shut up
You’ve earned my respect Trax, you give out FREE INFORMATION not many do that nowadays. 👍🏽🔥
Thank God I find my Gold in the Ground and Refine it since we got lots in the hills here, I can make sure what purity it is. I make jewelry on the side just learning and I really appreciate all the stuff you say and inform us of what’s going on in the jewelry business my hat is off to you.
Lucky guy 😉
That sounds like a fun hobby, and I guess you can custom make your own pieces, so that's just about perfect 👍
Hello Dutchman.
I also sell gold in East Africa just in case u can buyer from me.
Actinium (Ac) is a radioactive element. Every element from Atomic Number 83 through 103 is radioactive. The Lead (Pb) may have been added to counterbalance the radioactivity.
this videos proves that not only the best of the best jewelers cant identify fake jewelry by just looking at it but it also proves that fake jewelry can look like real jewelry so with that being said... im gonna continue to wear my stainless steel jewelry without thinking people will realize it isnt real silver lol
You are a true educator, giving back to your community by teaching them the reality you were taught. We are all learning from you and that's what I call the RIPPLE EFFECT!
In terms of toxicity, you should actually probably be a lot more worried about the actinium than the lead. It's actually radioactive. Even at less than half a percent, that's still pretty alarming.
Guy in LA asking people for $1k saying he lost wallet. Giving chain and ring for exchange but it was that extact ring
Probably same guy i ran into at target with the same story and jewelry, except he had a wife n kids with him. He claimed he wasn't from around town. Ran into him in SD though.
Yeah in pa white suv family and kids same ring and a necklace got me for $600 ruined my vacation my girl and I fought to the point where we broke up ended up coming home and on the ride home somebody hit my rental car , I lost over $5,000 that weekend between all the events following my kind gesture helping this scammer out and paying him good to make sure his “kids” could eat and he could get home safe with plenty of money in exchange for fake gold . If it’s too good to be true chances are it is I should have listened to my gut
hi i would love to work for you and learn from you. I live in Iceland but I would take the next plane if I had the chance to work and learn from you, I like how you are honest and fearless and you tell people that they don't have to whisper haha I like it.
In Europe we look it and take it to the hand , looks and feels different, usually lighter, color is total off too. Ususally has also a "good price"
I do metal detecting a lot and I find tons of gold and diamonds. I can tell you 100% if it’s real gold by running my detector over it. The machine differentiates the metals by sound. Gold is a smooth sound. Other metals are obvious in their tones.
I like this guy,he know everything about jewelry,no doubt..!
3:55 I cant. 🤣

Together with polonium, radium, and radon, actinium was one of the first non-primordial radioactive elements to be isolated.
He said “I’m not a physicist” you mean chemist 😂😂
Brandy Porter Brandy Porter lol what are you smoking dude😂. My major is chemistry I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about. Physics has to do with the motion of particles...
FYI the process he used to figure out what the gold was composed of is called “spectrometry” which is done by chemists in lab settings....
Brandy Porter damn bruh, he tryin to help you out and give you some knowledge. While also proving your point for you but you call him a perv 😂
Exactly his point tho....gotta love TraxNYC for keeping it real!
Well, it's true. He really isn't a physicist.
I love the fact the he teaches 🤩 people about gold an diamonds.thats a man who teaches men how to fish then feeding someone a fish
Thanks for this great knowledge.. and you give it for free, respect.
Good video bro explaining all the metals on that fake ring 👍
I saw when you uploaded this on Instagram. Keep educating and inspiring others on how to make smart investments. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹
Actinium is a silvery radioactive metallic element. Actinium glows in the dark due to its intense radioactivity with a blue light. Actinium was discovered in 1899 by André-Louis Debierne, a French chemist, who separated it from pitchblende. Friedrich Otto Giesel independently discovered actinium in 1902.
Your videos are insightful, and valuable.. Keep doin your thing my guy 👌👌.. New Subscriber
Uses of Actinium
It is a vital source of alpha rays. Ac 225 is used in the field of medicine as an agent for radiation therapy. It has immense value as a neutron source as it is one fifty times more radioactive than compared to radium.
I bought some FAKE gold bars when I was 19 and this lesson costed me 20000 USD. GREAT VIDEO!
Wtf 😬
I was getting on to the freeway and a guy at the side of the road waved me down. He had a foreign accent that I did not recognize and he said his car broke down and that he needed money. He took off a ring that looks just like the one you have there and put it in my hand. He wanted me to take him to the ATM and get a couple hundred bucks for him. All I had in my wallet was $40 and I believed the guy, but I refused to take him to my ATM to get money. I gave him the $40 and did not want to take the ring, which he said was worth over a $1000. He left the ring anyway and ran back to his car. My wife never believed it was real gold. I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it until tonight. Then I checked the internet and found your video! Good job! I am now convinced it is a fake!
THIS HELPS CONSUMERS A LOT
For sure. I will never be eating fake gold ever again after this trick!
You are wise my guy, I'm learning more with every video you put up, it's interesting to hear directly about gold from a professional, top work! 👊👊💯
Thank you for being the only jewler to educate the masses. Im seeing this video in lewiston idaho.
Great work big brother, stay well.❤
I thank you for the awesome information sir. I am a small claim owner in Arizona and I dig dirt. I have been fairly lucky with all of the hard work that I have had to put in but I find a reasonable amount of gold too. That being said I appreciate how you emphasize the worth of gold because it is not easy to find and extract from the ground. ⛏️😎👍
That's why I personally view gold simply as a metal without any inherent value (although I might be in the minority in thinking this way). I'm not particularly interested in its shine, color, or weight. However, if someone were to gift me gold, I would accept it with the intention of exchanging it for actual money from people who are willing to pay for it. This money could then be used to buy things like sharing a meal with friends or going on a trip, which would enhance my life and make it a bit more fulfilling.
"It kind of looked real when I saw it" by a gold enthusiast.
The fake and/or plated stuff is getting good that its harjustify investing in real anymore when I can buy a lot more options for the money. At least, for me.
I recently saw a link set in a display that popped out at me in a very fine and surreal way like no other gold jewlery has before, real or fake. This electro plating process is getting very fine.
And no there is no lead I the chain, its 18K electro plated gold on brass. It looks incredible.
Great point
You nailed it! Fortunately for me, my wife has same ideas as me when it comes to jewelry. Fake/man made diamonds are just fine and sometimes better because you can buy something pretty darn close and bigger for a fraction of the price. Besides, how many ppl gonna grab a loupe and check it out? If it's got nice flash who cares? Now, a REASONABLE wedding ring may be something else. My wife wouldn't trader her .3 carat ring (we married at 21 & 19, 33 years ago) for anything due to sentimentality. She's a keeper.
Literally scary AF
THIS is why I buy gold from Trax
Excellent video, I loved how you highlighted all of the different alloys that could be in our gold and what to look out for especially with lead!!! Thank you!!!👍👍👍☺️☺️☺️💗💜💙💚💛💝
Different alloys?
Copper Tungsten and Lead
Actinium, I read, is highly radioactive, some forms of it can be as bad as plutonium. Read a 10th of a gram is found in every one ton of uranium ore. It sounds pretty rare and hard to come by. Just with this simple knowledge I have and presented, sounds like the measuring device may need a calibration.
Those fake rings with the same design are floating around the country. A little more than a year ago I bought one at a gas station for $40 and threw it out of my window after it turned my pinky green. Had the stamp on it and all. Needless to say I no longer buy gold off the streets it only took one time for me.
You thought u were buying real gold at a gas station for $40? 🤦♂️
@@yungcee321 yeah, smokers always have something for sale. At least in that neighborhood.
The amount of protons in an atom determines it‘s atomic number, it‘s place in the periodic table and it tells you what element you are dealing with. So, if the the atomic number is 26, it means, it has 26 protons in the centre.
Fire content as always... much respect!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge to help us become better/smarter consumers.
Yes thanks much for this🙏
If I look it up right actidium is radioactive
Max , I just sent some stuff out to get tested just as you, and I was told would cost me 35 dollars. Is that about right price for the test?
This is very educational. Keep up the good work.👍
Not gonna lie I really appreciate jewelers such as yourself. When it comes to the jewerly buisness there as so many greedy dirty unhonest snakes in it that are always trynna get one over on someone. Especially if they sense you don't know jack about precious metals or gems. Long long time ago I got fkd over once by what seemed to me like a legit jeweler at the time. I'll never make that mistake again and never have. And with the way you conduct yourself and stand behind your buisness and products as well as put us up on game. I know I'd never have to worry at all ordering something from you. And once I'm a bit more financially stable I will be. Keep it up bro 👍 wish you and your buisness nothing but success! Stay blessed.
Thanks for sharing this very valuable information so people can have their gold tested the right way.
I remember talking to a guy who was primarily a coin dealer, but bought gold and silver on the side. Someone came in to sell a gold chain and he did several checks on it, verifying that it was legit. The person "had to get something" from their car and took the chain with them. When they returned, they brought in a good fake chain. People are so sly, when money is involved.
I was able the tell right away that it was fake. I can spot anything fake, hollow, dipped or whatever it is.
What you want a cookie 😂
Teezy Frm305 no you’re mom I want her

Glad I subd bro. Keep the videos coming!!!! Love seeing that shiny stuff
Actinium is a silvery radioactive metallic element. It glows blue in the dark due to its intense radioactivity
Very informative!!I’ve been into jewellery and antiques for years and it never even occurred to me that people make fake gold!!x
Love the vids mate, very educational, thanks for taking the time to do these!
Radioactive and lead…cool beans, as a little tip I’ve noticed a lot of that fake 14k stamped jewelry all use the exact same stamp (font/letters) for some reason, so you start to recognize it and know it’s fake right away. Seems to be the most common one to fake.
I think you bring up a very overlooked point when it comes to buying any kind of jewlery. You definately want to make sure you're getting the real thing.
But most importantly, you want to make sure it's not health hazardous. The scary thing is there's no way to know until after the sale and getting it tested.
I'm from Montreal, Quebec Canada, but generally, where can one take their jewlery to get tested for it's metallic content? This video kind bursted my bubble and scared the hell out of me.
Their was a Arabic guy running around my city for a while with his family in a van at gas stations pretending like he was out of gas or needed to feed his family selling these same rings .. he got me because I seen his kids and felt bad did the burn test on them to but when tested they were fake smh ... can’t trust nobody even if they are asking for help with their kids 🤦♂️
101 STAMP me to bro wtf same thing happen to me
I bought it cuz I felt bad I knew it was fake
Yea sucks tho but I’m a lot more careful now 😂😂
Same shit happen in cali too.
Them aint arabs them gypsies
I have commented before on this guy and been very harsh as he used so much foul language, which hurts my ears as I do not use such language , , , , but in this video he sounds very knowledgeable and intelligent with no foul language . . . Congratulations , sir !! I will have to stop in some time . . . Thank you .
They sold me a fake gold and I figured out after 10years today it's pain full I'm taking it back to the same store I bought it from 10 years a go and hoppeing to See the same sealer behind the counter to nock his teeth out off his mouth .
I am really thrilled by your analysis, its only God that can help some of us that doesn't have the correct equipment to test Gold,I wish to learn from you more sir,from sierra leone west Africa
Sooo send it in to a lab for analysis is the best way. Gotcha
I appreciate these kind of videos from you Sir! Very informative, Thank You.

Hey how much is that 14-karat gold gold bars got in your hands
I love the content of your channel. I've learned SO much from watching your videos. This is what video content should be like. - Educational, informative and entertaining. Thank you TRAXNYC
Actinium is actually only found in uranium ores so that’s a toxic ring indeed
buy a cheap ultrasonic thickness tester, yes tungsten is about the same weight but the speed of sound that travels in the metal is different very easy to detect as there is a big difference.
Always buy from a reputable dealer and never buy gold on sites like Ebay - its full of fake gold!!
Ty for you honesty kudos adore your channel ❤️
this man is holding straight tungsten and doesn’t even know 🤣
