Thank you Travis for great video. Oh that pink ring is beautiful! I'm sure I don't have to tell you but I would definitely keep the stone.

Wow awesome I never knew about the 18 kt so much better than silver on the black stone. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the 18k acid trick cuz I couldn't tell with the orange silver acid. I tested a 1921 Morgan silver dollar I bought loose at a flea market and everything seemed kosher it looked right weight felt right sounded right but I still wanted to test it.

Just saying, but a magnet will not rule out stainless steel, it's not magnetic. ;) Try the magnet test on your stainless steel cutlery, if you don't believe me.

Depends on the quality. Cheap chinese "stainless " will have some magnetic properties.

How do you clean off the scratches from the stone? Some came off with soap and water, but some didn't! Also, if you do acid test directly to metal, can you still melt down and use metal after test, or do you need to get rid of that piece? Tia 🙏

@KeyboardWarriorOfTRUTH Жыл бұрын

I use warm/hot water and dish soap with a metal scrubby. Use circular motions and rinse well I find this works great.

I'm not familiar with purchasing from India. Are you able to order from amazon? If so, I put a link in the description where you could order the acid. If you are not able to purchase from amazon, I'm not really sure where else to purchase it from. I apologize for not being of much help.

@ReefMimic Жыл бұрын

I bought the Same brand type test from Amazon. I use pool acid every day. For some reason I don’t think my Jsp acid is as potent as yours;( How to you clean the pad? My pad is super hard to see with both acids. I put the acids on the silver in question and I got better visible results. Bad acid? Bad dark pads? Better to buy direct? Low quality silver? Idk

@treasuresandadventures Жыл бұрын

I like to clean the pad using scotch bright scrub pads or something similar. Mine also might have been more visible, because I put a lot of material on the scratch pad. The more material, the brighter the results. it could potentially also be a case of bad acid, it does have an expiration date, and I would imagine it looses potency over time.

How can you determine the %-content of silver?

@danieldambrosio50 2 жыл бұрын

timm- in my experience high silver content meaning 90% or higher will scratch easy kind of like scratching chalk on a chalkboard. When you have to press real hard it could be a lower grade silver. Sometimes silver is marked say 925 but it is less not fake just less silver.

If you are using 18k acid on the ring, and it turns milky with a blue hue, then it's silver.

Yes it will. The 18k gold acid will not give you exact content but if it's marked 800 and turns bluish white it's most likely 800.
