Testing Gold

How to Test Scrap Gold, Methods and Techniques: If you’re just entering the scrap gold business, including scrap gold parties, it’s very inexpensive to purchase the gold testing supplies you’ll need.

Contrary to what you may have seen on Youtube or other web sites, you don’t have to jump in to the scrap gold industry by investing in an electronic gold tester costing hundreds of dollars!

The scrap gold acid test kits work just fine and present virtually zero potential for accidents and damage to surrounding environments and personnel; you just have to use a little common sense. (See the “Gold Testing with Acids” Video below).

Scrap gold acid test kits cost around $10 – $15; these kits usually include a stone as well. After years of buying these gold testing kits, we’ve settled on Amazon as having the cheapest and simplest ordering process with the best privacy. Amazon beats Ebay hands down as a supplier for scrap gold test kits.

Add another $15 – $35 for a small, battery powered scrap gold digital scale and you’re in business.

Now, don’t misunderstand! Electronic scrap gold testers like the GT 3000 are nice. The GT 3000 works great, it’s accurate and reliable. And more than a few of your scrap gold customers will perceive the GT 3000 as being more professional and accurate. The GT 3000 retails for around $200. (See below for our review of the GT 3000). We simply want to make the point that if your funds are tight and you really have a sincere desire to begin building a scrap gold jewelry buying and selling business, you can easily and safely start with a basic gold testing kit for around $15.00.

Our “Starting a Scrap Gold Business Manual” including how to use gold parties to increase your profits and how to start a scrap gold Internet business goes into GREAT DETAIL describing how to use a simple scrap gold test kit. With just a little bit of practice you can become an expert testing gold. The very basic approach to testing gold is as follows:

Scratch the gold object with a file and apply a drop of Nitric Acid. If the gold object turns a bright green it is gold plated or gold filled on base metal. If the object turns a pinkish cream color it is plated or gold filled on silver. 10 karat gold will turn dark brown. 12 karat gold will turn light brown. 14 karat or higher will have little or no reaction.

A test stone can be used to test a streak of metal laid down from the gold jewelery, or a small groove can be filed on an inconspicuous place of the gold jewelery and tested.

Finding the Karat of Gold Scrap Jewelry

* File a clean spot on the gold article to be tested and rub it on the test stone.
* Rub a gold test needle nearest the karat you think the gold article is next to the mark.
* Apply acid to both marks simultaneously. (Nitric Acid for 12 karat or under; Aqua-Regia for 14 karat or higher). If the color does not match try another needle until it does.
* White and green gold react slowly, but will still leave a brown mark after applying acid.
