After yesterdays marathon hunt I just was not into another so I took the morning off.
Not only the morning but a good part of the afternoon as well. :crazy:
I started out the day asking Eric aka threedawgs if he wanted to come out and play but instead ended up visiting with him before I even got started.
I don't know what was with me but I just wasn't feeling it today.
I did manage to find this before I changed locations.
And when Eric showed up at the second site I showed it to him and stated "I don't think it's real"
I thought that I could see 925 PAS. :?:
When I got home into tumbler it went for 2hrs with soap and water. No change.
So in the tumbler with vinegar for 2hrs. Still no change in appearance.
So it went into reverse electrolysis for 1/2hr and all it did was turn black.
Back into the tumbler with vinegar for another hour. And what looked like plating is still there.
But on closer inspection it reads 925 FAS which is supposed to be real. :?:
The 'FAS' mark appears on sterling silver jewelry that is also labeled as 925. FAS stands for fused alloy silver, meaning that a piece of sterling silver jewelry is infused with an alloy. Sterling silver therefore may have a stamp of FAS 925. In silver jewelry marked with the FAS 925 stamp, the number indicates that the jewelry is 92.5 percent silver and the rest is a fused silver alloy. Sterling silver, or 925 silver, contains 92.5 percent weight of silver, as compared to 99.9 in pure silver. The rest of the weight in 925 silver is typically copper, which strengthens the silver.
I need to get a silver test kit.
