    I don’t know about my fellow silver bugs and/or if the Docs will deem this topic to be spam as well, but I am very interested in finding an affordable device that can accurately test for real silver without any damage to the silver and/or silver product. I’ve founded an interesting YouTube video in regards to an “ultrasonic thickness gauge”. Kindly let me know your thoughts:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T8fdshyEek&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    I have one of those ultrasonic testers, and I did buy a fake Engelhard Prospector coin I might have time to test in the next few days

    427 Great stuff. I am looking forward to hear about your test results. Are those testers expensive?

    About 5-7 oz US. If this is all you want it for I would buy the silver instead. I don’t know how bad fakes are were your at.

    I normally order my silver from overseas and are not aware of any fakes, but I would love to make 100% sure at a price that won’t break the piggy bank.

    No such thing, unless your buying new with a COA. But a sonic tester would see the deferent metal.

    True, I will have to weigh my options.

    I got that exact gauge and it worked. It’s trickier than it seems though – a super smart math guy helped me using his huge book of formulas.

    Somebody HAS to come up with a simple and reliable detector.  Seriously, folks.

    I want to offer a discount and accept silver and gold at my marinas.   You know the drill:   Many service stations and other businesses have a posted price, and accept credit and debit cards.  Many also advertise a small discount for payment in cash.   I want to do that, but offer an even better discount to those who pay in gold or silver.
    Problem is, I need to protect myself from being ripped off.  I need a simple and reliable detector that can be used right there next to the cash registers.   I sure hope someone comes up with one soon.
