I'm so glad you showed the 18k testing acid. It would appear to be more accurate.

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!

Thank you 4 the 18k acid on silver suggestion!

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.

Thank you. Very informative.

Thanks for the informative vid . Could this method be used to test for purity of silver in silver foil / silver leaf products ?

great video. i learn something new everyday. subbed you

Great info 👍Thanks.

Thank you for the infos! Could you tell us how to find out the exact carat? For example if I have a 950 silver and I wanna prove it, Thank you so much

Great video. Simple to the point.

Thanks for video. Great way to test!

What is the black scratch pad made of

How does fine silver bullion react with with the acid ? Can u make a video for bullion pls :)

If an item tests for 500 silver is that 'Pot Metal'? I have some kind of antique tribal ritual urn and it tests 500 silver...

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.

I like using 18k acid best also.

Great vedio thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

I have a silver, nitric acid test kit. The instructions state milky blue indicates 800 silver. You're saying blue is not?

So how do I do this at home? You have a lab with a kit.

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 🙏

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

What happens if you put 18k directly on the fake stuff

Hey I have a 1946 nickel that could actually be silver h0w do I test that

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

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.

I need acid test kit ..plz let me knw whr to buy india

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.

Thanks

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.

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.

Good Vid, shame about the annoying background music

if blue color is nikel if red that's pure 925

That is way too much scratching your going to leave a mark on that ring

background music sucks Be a much better video with just straight narration

Thumbs down
