Are you a relic hunter?

Welcome Barnabus. I do remember testing my wedding ring which has a large band of white gold and a band each side of that of yellow gold and it came up much harder to pick up than a full gold ring.

Gold & Platinum
White gold is normally Gold with a mix of either nickel, manganese or palladium and then Rhodium plated for the shine.
I've never noticed any difference between "regular" Gold or white Especially when you get a nice high number like 18k. Super sound on a sov gt.
Keep hitting that beach and the gold will come - regardless of it's colour.
