Rare Earth Magnets: amzn.to/3PzEamv
In this video, I demonstrate how to test gold using a magnet, similar to testing for other metals like silver or copper. Gold isn't magnetic, so it won't stick to a magnet. However, not all magnets work for this test; rare earth metal magnets are recommended for accuracy. I run the magnet across various jewelry pieces to see what sticks, cautioning about potential false positives with non-gold components like clasps. I compare the results with a weaker fridge magnet and discuss the limitations of this method, advising viewers to seek expert advice for certainty. I also mention other testing methods like acids and promise future videos on alternative gold testing techniques.
