[QUOTE="MK Ultra, post: 8099620, member: 108322"]Bought an Eagle, 1910 D, today at the local show. I examined it closely and it looked good, dealer did as well and tested with magnet, passed his test. Paid the seller, another dealer set up at the show, and went on with my shopping. The promoter had a sigma metalytics and we put it on there, and it was several bars to the right of the acceptable range, on both the gold eagle setting, (the wrong setting), and the 90% setting, but the weight was spot on. Compared it to a different 1910 D, and it too showed off to the right. Went to another dealer, and initially it was off to the right on his Indian, but after fidgeting, it was in the range, and tried the new purchase again, and it was in range after fidgeting. Is this metalytics usually this temperamental? Seems like it's prone to wild swings with gold, and for the price I would expect something consistent and reliable. Or is it best to use a magnet and calipers and run with that?[/QUOTE]
