  • This week we keep it in the pawn shop. It was a busy day full of buying and selling precious metals. First, a guy brings in a suspicious Apmex gold bar in that I ended un having to cut in half to see if it was real or not. Next, a guy walks in to sell constitutional silver and silver bars. Lastly, like the last 2 months have been, a guy calls to sells Silver Eagles and we try to get a deal done. So if you enjoy pawn shops & garage sale transactions, this is the channel for you.

      ive got a few DeWalt tools sitting in their original boxes in the garage...i got them on sale last year & i'll use them when the other tools break. some people just dont need 2 of everything & not everyone is a thief...
      if you saw me irl, you would walk over to the other side of the street because PEOPLE ASSUME the worse just because of looks.
      you need to stop living like that & start trusting more people imo...the world would be a better place

    Another test you can do is. Have another genuine identical gold bar on hand. Drop both bars and see if the sound pitch is the same. Silver coins have a higher pitch tone than copper.

  • @chiil034
    @chiil034 4 місяці тому +17

    You should pull out your wands for the Sigma Metalytics, unless you ordered it without them. They need to be ordered with them and calibrated at the factory. The bullion and coin wands do a good job testing smaller gold bars, like the Valcambi gram bars. Plus the XRF machines only scan the surface, and don't really do depth. This is where the Sigma Metalytics shines.
