[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 537192, member: 487"] Doesn't look like gold to me, sometimes gold does come coated in near black ironstone though. I'd scratch it on a rock or a file to see what's underneath the black stuff. If it is gold you can soak it in either hydrchloric acid or Alibrite to get the coating off. [/QUOTE]
