How do you know your gold and silver are real? In this episode, we take you through 8 methods used across history to test precious metals—from the ancient Egyptian balance scale to modern X-ray and Sigma testing. You’ll see exactly how authenticity has been verified for thousands of years and which tools you can use today to spot fakes with confidence.

We demonstrate everything from simple weight and sound tests to high-tech verification like ultrasonic and electromagnetic analysis. You’ll also learn why no single test is foolproof and how using at least two or three methods together gives you the most accurate results. Whether you’re a new stacker or a seasoned investor, this is a must-watch for protecting your portfolio from counterfeits.
