Hi All,
Please notice that I have these fingers that have gold on the ends but that they also appear to have gold plating underneath the green layer. If i scrape away the green it appears to be gold underneath? I've tried soaking in the AP solution for a few days but the green susbstance covering what appears to be gold plating is not affected and I'm wondering what it actually is, could it be gold plating underneath and if so, what might be a good approach to getting to the heart of the matter and removing the gold underneath this green material. Here are some pix to better illustrate what I'm dealing with. I recently came by a very large number of these and would like to get the gold if it's realistic in a reasonable time frame.
Thanks all,
S47
