I was hunting yesterday with the MDT..... not everyday is a GOOD day. I hit the first chain ..... clearly marked 14K on the hasp..... 21" long...... 22 grams....... it looked good on the stone for color....but wouldnt acid test beyond 10K... it also read 1 on a Nox. First thought maybe it just cheap gold...... but out came the earth magnet..... that was the tell all. The second was the same except there was no clasp or marking. Two of those rings are SS. This plated stuff is getting crazy...... makes you wonder, did the person with that 14K necklace KNOW it was plated SS? There was nothing to indicate it was plated. I believe i read somewhere there now is a jewelry maker using 18K as its maker mark. Im wondering how the rules apply now to marking plated jewelry...... and when does it become fraud? Oh.... how bout that knife collection lol?
