Thanks for stopping by to watch, I do appreciate it. Glad you found the video interesting. GD

Hope this video sheds some light on the recent test I did that gave a false reading on a clad coin.

Great follow up video and information 👍👊

Thank you so much for the mention my friend. That’s wonderful how quickly Will go back to you! That first fake silver round looks exactly like one I bought a few months ago 😬 Which company would you highly recommend buying silver and gold from?

Thanks for stopping by to watch, I do appreciate it. I gladly gave you a shoutout because I most likely would not have contacted the company if you didn't mention it my friend. As for who I recommend, My first suggestion is to get to know any local coin and bullion dealers in your area. Building a relationship on a local level may be a real plus for getting a deal or something special. I have always been my own dealer so I don't use any of the online dealers but there are a number of good ones that are very trustworthy. To name just a few you may want to check out JM Bullion. Apmex, SD Bullion, Provident Metals & Scottsdale mint to get started. The amount you pay over spot price will vary by the type of item you buy, the company you buy from and any specials that a company may have so it is best to shop them all before you make a purchase. If you have any other questions I am always here to help plus you can always contact me at gdsavingthepast@gmail .com

@@GDSavingThePast that is all very great information and advice, thank you so much. I’ve been buying my silver from a local business that’s been around for 40 years so I feel pretty confident, but I’ve been learning a lot from your videos, so thank you for sharing you knowledge.

Good info for those of us that have a Sigma!

Thanks silverbean, I do appreciate you stopping by to watch my friend

Well, nothing is perfect. But the Sigma for the speed and I would suggest you use the larger probes as they do provide a deeper reading than the onboard sensor.

Thanks SGOT, Glad you stopped by to watch my friend.

I’m not understanding the reason for switching to the mode that shows a numerical resistivity value? The standard mode on the sigma is giving you a visual representation of acceptable resistivity with a bracket and bar based on the type of metal you select. Whereas this mode is just giving you a number which you then have to determine the acceptable range on your own.

Thank you for stopping by to watch and share your thoughts, I do appreciate it. It appears that copper on the standard mode can test as silver but when you switch over to the density mode it will have a different numerical reading from .999 silver or sterling silver so the company is recommending that you do both readings to confirm what the metal is. GD

I just bought a Sigma same one you're using so I'm betting they'll come out with a cheaper better version soon.

Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment, I do appreciate it. They have come out with several models that are higher priced, If they came out with a lower priced one I would be amazed since they seem to be selling the current models with no problem.

the thin copper plate is just too thin, that's why the reading it 1.54... try using wand? or put the cal disc below it? Is this in the manual? now i have to cut all my poured bars to see if they are copper inside....???!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment, I do appreciate it. No don't cut open your bars, simply do the readings that I showed here. Silver and copper were in different numerical ranges and the brass was way higher. Get a few pieces of copper bars or rounds, a few .999 silver bars or rounds that you know are good and run some readings on your unit to have a base line of what is good and what may be fake.

@@GDSavingThePast I was joking when i said to cut the silver bars... i just tried a few samples test on my poured silver bars and coin, mostly falls with the 1.65-1.71 range, with most at 1.66-1.67. Same for the 99.99 silver coins, at 1.65-1.67 too .
