My first thought was "This guy sure wastes a lot of acid!" But then, I realize you're teaching how to test. So the larger the field, the more dramatic the demonstration. Well done.
You did a nice job on this video, one of the more clear demonstrations I've seen! Total thumbs up on this! By the way - I love your "edible arrangement" next to you! :)
I have three 10k gold filled vintage woman’s watches. Elgin , Bulova, Gruen how much do you think I should receive ....they don’t work ? Will pawn guy buy as watches or just scrap it for gold content Either way ..I’ve never did this before so thank you for any suggestion
what do the #'s behind the K mean? are these usually stamped along with the K weight or grade? i am new to this research, am considering buying jewelry for income
How would gold filled jewelry not past the acid test, if you scratch it off you will be scratching the gold off, thus allowing it to pass the test? Right or wrong
Yes, it's reasonable to agree that investing in gold is not so simple. Unless you follow a resource like GoldStratz (google it), it's imposible to fail.
First of all I want to say I'm sorry that you have a possible disease or whatever is going on with your eyes but thank God wearing those sunglasses inside really helps you I was just wondering do you need to wear 2 pair when you go outside
The plating will be thin and you will rub right through the plating in the stone. Caution a really good goldfilled can pass this scratch test. I always keep a small file handy to cut deep into the metal and apply the 14k acid to the cut and see what happens, typically goldfilled (gf) will turn green in the cut.
What do you think about buying this kind of gold, as a long term investment. There's talk about some trouble coming & gold may become a valuable commodity.
Great video very informative if you can send me your email it would be great I have a question for you where can I get the gold Wholesale ? Thanks Again! Helped out a lot !
What do you pay for 28K gold? Spot is about 1080 today. Internet shows wholesalers paying 591 a troy ounce for 28k scrap gold. So is about 55 percent of spot gold what you would pay to buy 28K scrap gold?
+Mike Dunn If you truly have some 28k gold then its probably worth millions of $ if not more because every piece of gold in any jewelry in the world today has only a maximum of 24k. ( just joking around with you). My assumption is you are talking about 24k gold and you can probably expect to get 60 to 70% of the gold value depending on the quantity you have. If you have 1 ounce or more than you should be able to get 80 to 90% of the value in my opinion. This depends on how reputable the dealers near you are, or how good your haggling abilities are, If you do have 1 ounce or more don't take less thank 80% of the value because there will be dealers willing to pay that or more.
Also the pricing will be affected by state and local law. Many state have holding law that require the buyer to hold the item(s) for a period of time. Time is money the more time the dealer has to hold the gold the greater his risk (fluctuating markets). So more risk equals lower prices.
11k 12k ??? NOOOOO, 8k-333 10k-375 14k-585 18k-750 don waste the acid , look at the marks first, if sey 750 on the ring, go with 18k acid.. SERBIA zlatari :)
You sure used a lot of acid and space on your stone. One line of acid is plenty. You could do a line of each acid on each of those samples and test several pieces in one shot.

You enlightened us using this video on how does the jewelry pawn shop do their testing to check the karat of the gold.
Profit With Gold my

Hi, so, how do you get customers that wanna sell they gold? You wait for people looking for sell gold, or you goto find out customers?
Thank you for taking the time to make such a concise video.
Just because you put a magnet to a pice of gold dosent mean it's real because stainless steel is non magnetic
It’s just to weed out the magnetic material so you’re not testing magnetic stuff that definitely isn’t gold
any ideas on where to purchase scrap gold and silver if one does not own a shop? Thanks!
Flea markets, estate sales, garage sales, police auctions, thrift stores, storage lockers. I'm sure there are other places as well.
Lol some of the pawn shops i no would have no problem swit hing the 14 k with the 18 k acid
Thank you.if gold filled,???.
what's with the sunglasses? are auditioning for the "top gun " sequel?
who is a reputable refiner you use? I have been buying gold in my store for two years and cannot find one that won't rip me off.
that wont scratch up the gold?
Where do you get the kit for testing
how to differentiate the acids of 10k 14k and 18k ... do they have some names ???
They are labeled with the carat.
How much would you pay for 10 K gold ring ? How about a mans 10 K school ring
What do you do with nuggets you find ? Out in nature!
vape em!
@@notreal5299 - what is “ vape” , I don’t understand the term how are you using it ?
@@solstar4778 it was meant as a joke. nugget being slang for a bud of ganja. of which i would put it in my vaporizer to get the essential oils out of.
Nice now i really know my gold is real.
what do the #'s behind the K mean? are these usually stamped along with the K weight or grade? i am new to this research, am considering buying jewelry for income
In the UK a "c" or "ct" are common.
Thanks! Great instruction!
Sup with that eatable arrangement u got on the table?
What if the gold is less than 10K? How can I check?
How would gold filled jewelry not past the acid test, if you scratch it off you will be scratching the gold off, thus allowing it to pass the test? Right or wrong
Sometimes good quality gold filled will pass the stone test. I typically cut into suspect items and apply the acid to the cut.
This valuable information is much appreciated! BB+

Wait.... I thought if it dissolves in acid it means fake gold?
love your video but come on bro .. whats with the edible arrangement? lol
Where do I get genuine JSP gold testing kit?
what if it is rhodium plated over gold or a gold plate, how do you deal with that?
The plating will be thin and you will rub right through the plating in the stone. Caution a really good goldfilled can pass this scratch test. I always keep a small file handy to cut deep into the metal and apply the 14k acid to the cut and see what happens, typically goldfilled (gf) will turn green in the cut.
Sorry I forgot this is a training video.
What do you think about buying this kind of gold, as a long term investment. There's talk about some trouble coming & gold may become a valuable commodity.
There is definitely trouble coming
So there is no such thing as gold-plated chains?
Yes there are lots of gold plated chains out there. Some are just gold colored and some are magnetic.
Hello bro I have 23k gold in form of bars and nuggets if you're interested let me know

Lord.

You sure used a lot of acid and space on your stone. One line of acid is plenty. You could do a line of each acid on each of those samples and test several pieces in one shot.
And if its a good plated item you've just bought it.. Stupid way of testing. and a waste of acid.
This dude sucks with gold...just lol at caveman attacking that jewelry
@fursatali Amazon.com
Magnet test is fake. Other metals dont stick to gold that are commonly used.(facepalm)
The magnet will reduce the number of things that need closer examination.
next time you post a how to video make sure you know what your doing!!!!!!!!!
What does this have to do with buying gold pawn shop style.. lies
