Precious Metal Testing Methods


There are many precious metal-testing methods.  The best seem to be the spectrometer and the age-old acid test.  I have tested each method many times and it seems that they both provide the best way to
achieve your goal. 

The spectrometer is the newest and specialized technology.  The gold is inserted into the analyzer and the results read out on a LED screen.  The unit is nice, very expensive and failed very rarely in its accuracy.

The acid test held true every time.  If you have a place with a spectrometer, make sure to have them double check the reading with acid.  It seems that the old method of testing is the best way.  The kits are inexpensive and you can buy one yourself and test if your going to buy and sell gold or any precious metals.

What is your opinion on the best method?
