So the wife runs a hotel locally, and every 90 days they clean out he lost and found. This is what she brought me home.

weighed in at 8.2 grams, i broke it in half to see if there was a underlying core of copper or silver, and with my 10x loop i cant see anything. I tested it with my new scratch and test kit, and it slowly disolved at 10K.

And what is that?

 

[ilikesilver]

well if i read it right, it should be 10K, it was a real slow disolve. Or i might be wrong, probably am. what do you think patnor

Do you have another 10k item that you can scratch also on the stone and use for comparison?

actually, thats exactly what i did. i used a old mens ring that i wear regularly. Found that one with my metal detector years ago. Plain band ring. Im hoping i did it right. First time i have ever used one. got to start testing on other items now. unfortunately i dont have any platinum to compare yet.
