    I use the Golden Touch for a quick check. It's electronic and seems
    reliable and accurate. The best is there is no need to file any
    parts away. I also test with acid, when the electronic test is either
    inconclusive or against my gut feeling :) 

    You can buy it online, just Google "Golden Touch" gold tester. It
    has been worth the small investment for me. It costs about $80.00 

    Now I wish they made one for Sterling and silver content. I have a
    black touchstone and trying to figure out shades of red is really
    tough. Does anyone know of another kind of test for Silver content? 

Thanks!
