Very helpful but does something need a silver marking (like 92.5) on it to be silver? I checked with a magnet and some make-up (used my girlfriends btw :)) and it passed both tests but it has no sterling markings
I'm guessing the dark that rubs off is from the foundation, like micro sandpaper, shaving a small amount off the metal away. It would naturally shave larger amounts from softer metals. Makes sense to me anyhow.
trick to finding silver requires rough stone, a tall glass and a bottle of lemonade. K GOGOGO what you do is poor the lemonade in the glass, u then to a small rub of silver coin on the stone. Once you do that stick coins in lemonade... i cant expalin exactly how this works but when copper mixes with the sodium it dissolves. you will see the copper clear as day. though if you do this with a pure silver coin it actually cleans it which is good anyway :)
I have been selling on eBay for over 10 years and found your video helpful. Thanks for sharing. I wrote a book on my experiences from selling on eBay, it is called A Simple Happy eBay Job. I sell it on Amazon for $2.95 My ebook is in the Kindle format. If you do not have a Kindle you can download a free app on Amazon that will allow you to read any Kindle book on your computer. Amazon has a ton of free books you can download if you have the free Kindle app. Hope this tip helps.
Thanks for the trick, i was looking a way to tes silver or gold on garage sales etc. without having to let people know what i was doing. Thanks a lot.
@katiemariepatton But if you are acting as a buyer only, you would list in the "for Sale" section. This would be for any items of gold you might want to buy from someone else to recycle...
@northeaastprepper 1964 and before were 90% silver. (Dimes, Quarters and Halves) 1965-1970 halves-(only) are 40% silver. With todays silver spot the silver alone in the 40% is worth $4.77. Snatch them up if you come across them. :D
So alrighty. I just did this and I had some questions. I tried it with a silver coin, 2 gold coins, a rose gold ring, and a 1€ piece. That's all I have around me at the moment. The silver coin left a nice mark, as did the euro, and the rose gold ring. The gold coins however, did NOT. I did purchase them from a reputable dealer. So I'm wondering exactly what metals this powder reacts with. I can't seem to find an answer online. thanks!
@kendalismyname Sometimes you can go to a jeweler and have them test the coins for you, or you could get a gold testing kit. I use this when I'm looking for gold or silver at sales without looking too suspicious.
@katiemariepatton Well, I was hoping it would work for when i go to garage sales. But it's not even working on coins that I'm 100% certain are gold and silver. I mean, the ring is 75% gold and 25% other metals, the euro... who knows what that's made out of (not gold or silver! lol) and the coins... well, they're .999 gold and silver. I have a kit with acids, though I'd love one of the electric testers. Maybe for Christmas... :-)
@kendalismyname if it leaves a mark, it's fake Kendal. If it does NOT leave a mark, it's real. I dont know what she says cause i didnt watch the full video. but i know from personally trying things. If it leaves any type of a mark, it's fake. if you rub it on the makeup, there is little to no reaction, it's either plated or 110% legit.
Not a very good method for testing anything. Gold filled items, in your method would definitely test as gold. The magnet test is pretty useless too because most plated jewelry is none ferrous, which means they are usually brass. Iron & steel are just about the only metals attracted by magnets, and are hardly ever used in jewelry. There are testing kits that are very portable, and could probably be bought for little more than the price you paid for the makeup!
It is going to be funny, seeing me at the next swap meet or estate sale rubbing jewelry all over myself...I am going to try it, I have 'samples' here for comparison, and I want to see if it works. Thanks
Brilliant tip.. i make and repair jewellery... your very intelligent and mature,keep up the good work ..glad i found you. Steve from cornwall uk.Namaste.
That was the neatest thing. I was at an auction a week ago, if I had only known this trick then. I let some random silverware go to another person because I wasn't sure it was real silver.
@AmericanOppression I imagine if there was an area of lighter skin like the palm of the hand, but then the makeup might rub off because we use our hands so much. You just have to be able to see the dark mark.
@katiemariepatton You should have your eBay Store URL}} on your YouTube Channel 2 cross-sell your items.. What'd 'ya think "cutie" 'bout that fantastic idea?
its a good thing they dont make steak knives out of silver!....ive been buying gold for several months now and this is blowing my mind...so, this ALWAYS works huh?
i get funny looks because im always touching things to my side( i have magnet in my knife sheath that you cant see) and i pick up things and smell them to see if its silver plate.
Really cool video. Thanks for sharing.You have a easy voice to listen. You can also on some large items like silver coins do the ping test. Were you put it on the end of your finger and tap it with another metal object and it should ring for a few secs. That means its silver.
Katie...hahaha.. Thanks for the giggle.. .. I wonder how many guys ran out to buy powder.. :D
Thanks so much for sharing this tip - it's simply genious!!! I spent the most enjoyable afternoon going through some old jewelry of mine and my Gramma's and even some of my Dad's.. what a thrill to find out that a number of pieces actually are gold!!
Will I part with them... no..lol.. but now I know to keep them hidden from prying eyes
one more q what type of foundation i notice the liquid dont work,the compact i used also did not work,can you tell me whats the foundation you use for this?
cool vid very good tips, haha i would love tosee peoples faces when you rub a fork up and down your arm, have to ask what has been the strangest item you have rubbed up your arm? maybe i should of sent you a message with that in lol thanks to Ohio1 TreasureHunter for sending me the link to this video,
@katiemariepatton Thanks. By the way, buying the makeup isn't going to be the worst of it. I'm probably going to have to shave the underside of my arm too :)
