Real gold
Many believe they have real pieces of gold, to show them later that they are fake, and often can not distinguish between real and fake, and people have invented a number of ways that will help them in this, and we will talk in this article about how to discover real gold with vinegar, and other methods.
Find out the real gold using vinegar
- Bring the piece of gold you want to make sure, and then wipe the dirt and dust accumulated on it, using a clean piece of cloth.
- Place the vinegar in the eye drop pack, then place two or three drops on the piece if small, but if large, then dip it in a dish with vinegar.
- Watch for any changes to the piece, as gold is one of the minerals that do not react with oxygen, and does not erode, and does not change color if touched vinegar, but in the event of any changes, and turned to black, it means that it is not genuine.
- Wash well with cold water, then rub thoroughly with a clean cloth, in order to completely remove the vinegar and dry the piece.
Other ways to learn real gold
- Visual inspection: You should look at the piece of gold and make sure that there are any distinguishing marks on it, so check the official signs, seals or stamps. There is what determines the purity of gold, and what determines the carat, using the magnifying glass, but if the gold is old, any of these marks due to the length of use, as imitated gold can contain the same marks, so it is necessary to perform other tests in order to ensure, in addition, the color helps to know the original pieces, so it is necessary to lose color especially when areas of the edges, while there was a large percentage of scaling or change in color, it means that the piece is not genuine.
Magnetic testing: This method is easy, but does not produce the final inevitable result, and the low magnets such as those found on the refrigerators do not meet the purpose, but must be used a stronger type, and can be found in the stores of competent devices, or in many other places, When the magnet moves over the piece of gold, gold is not a magnetic metal. If the piece moves, it is not real, but there are many counterfeit pieces that do not interact with this test.
