Non-Chemical Buying gold for the first time

[goldamateur]

Dear Guys, I am what you call a complete beginner looking for advices in the gold field.

I plan to go to Africa to buy physical gold and would like to know the best way to reconize real from fake gold?

What are your thought on those "gold testing kit" ? are they accurate or pure BS..

Thank you very much for your help.

PS : by the way i live in Geneva so if you need any informations regarding Switzerland( banking laws or hidden accounts..just kidding..) feel free to ask )

Welcome to the forum.
My advice is don't do it, you admit to knowing nothing and those lads know every scam going and invent new ones daily do your money will soon be in their pockets while you end up with worthless dirt or even worse.. Unless you have contacts you can trust your going to lose!

I second that, most of the money being made on gold in Africa is the con artists stealing it from unsuspecting people trying to get in on the "gold rush".
