would it be wise to use these for finding out how pure silver is?

Yes, but the magnetic test for silver purity is not conclusive. Magnetic test should be performed in conjunction with other tests. Also, the 1x1 magnet may be too strong for testing small pieces of silver and can even be dangerous causing pinched skin, fingers, etc.. Suggest you consider smaller neodymium magnets which will be easier to handle such as half-inch or quarter-inch sizes.

lol, no worries, my experience is that when ever my silver is dirty I have use it and it hasn't harmed any of my silver items. The best answer I can tell you is that it hasn't harmed my silver items and Ive use it a lot but if you call a jewelry store you can ask the professional. I can only share my experience. Hope this helps bro.

Not a real answer, BUT - gave these to each of my kids to use on the grandkids. They no longer use them as they could never get a consistent reading. I think the technology has a ways to go.Sorry not to be of further help.

No. You can't accurately test in settings. It can give you false negatives due to the metal. It is however very accurate with loose stones. Only issues I encountered were with black diamonds, and synthetic or natural emeralds, rubies and sapphires.

Silver should be fine, but I don't know about gold, gold shouldn't tarnish much over time, if it is pure.

They are stainless steel and there has been no rust, nor should there ever be any. The company seems to be very sincere that you are happy with their product and I believe they will stand behind them. As far as accuracy, comparing them against some other household measuring cup or spoon seems irrelevant as who knows if they are accurate? Recipes come out fine using them, so I assume they are pretty good. Without some type of "standard" to measure against, it will be difficult to verify any brand you buy.

PS if you look below, there is a whole set of answers to someone who wanted to use it on copper, they are good answers with good info.

I agree with Julie M. For a large amount of projects, and on stainless steel, defiantly go for a better set. I use mine on pre-cut pieces of thin metals i get from Micheal's, and silver spoons, so they are great for thin, soft metals.

I bought this product for use at our church, it has not tarnished. I kind of doubt that it is real silver at the price point.

You probably could, but I would use wipes instead. I wouldn't get the silver solution or this precious metal solution, I would recommend these silver wipes:

I've owned this detector for a couple of years. It has performed well. To respond to your question; No consumer grade metal detector I am aware of is sensitive to the physical shape of any metal. There need only be an adequate amount of that metal for the detector coil chosen to sense a 'return' and transmit that back to the display. Certain coils are wound to better detect gold than others. If gold is what you're going for I suggest you look into also picking up a gold finding coil from BountyHunter.

no...not likely. You must use absolutely mineral-free water....the metals or other ingredients will not permit the proper action of suspension of the silver particles in water. Even the osmosis method of distilling is not good enough. The water to use must be steam-distilled to work correctly. nancy morse.

Yes, and it does say Silver. It's under Product Information. You can use ctrl+f to search for things on a webpage, like 'color'.

This will find anything metal and the depth it will detect may be enough to get the job done but you will look silly crawling around on your knees with something about as round as quarter. Get a cheap detector, even a used one. It is never cost prohibitive to get the right tool for the job

No, not at all. They are real copper mugs which means you need to wash and dry them quickly to avoid tarnishing as much as possible. You will still have to polish every few uses to avoid really bad tarnishing.

Yes, but they can also be used in a box with felt interior that contains the silver. Karin
