I am trying to learn the different sounds and signals my metal detectors give. I have all my base metals but only silver as a precious metal. I need gold, platinum and palladium..
Is it worth taking out gold bars from a Assay card to test it? I have 3 different metal detectors between my family and no one owns anything that is gold to test. Plenty of silver but no gold or any other precious metal. I am debating picking up about a gram of gold for my tests and novelty purposes. Not really as a investment even though it is. All the gold I see comes in Assay cards and capsules etc. I plan on taking it out and burying it in dirt and doing the same with some platinum and palladium. I been checking the costume jewelry at flea markets and thrift stores but no luck.
