For one reason or another I decided to peek at my junk finds yesterday. I kind of fingered through it and noticed a chain that looked interesting. I remember when I found it I looked at the clasp, but there was no mark and due to the discoloration, I figured it was junk. But now, I remembered in winter '17, I found a couple 10K rings that were also discolored. I took a magnifying glass and looked at the clasp again and, not on the surface, but the retractable latch was stamped 10K. So, I scraped the most discolored part of the chain on my stone and tested. Sure enough, 8.68g of 10K (test on the left)!

I don’t get why you wouldn’t be on board for ‘18 unless you found the chain in ‘17.

And nice find, nice second glance check!
 
:dingding: You got the dinger NOW its official! :lol: 10K stains a lot on some beaches over here.
 
10k can be a pain.... they like to use brass.... initially it holds up to the acid.... then very slowly fades away. Id get a jeweler verfy.

I have done the water-specific gravity test on chains and it can be done just like rings.

Yeah, about that, I know he’s stealing my gold and I’m pretty sure he’s trying to move in on my wife!
