Ice Test - does it melt faster on Silver?
Ice does melt fast on Silver, but in my opinion it’s not reliable in determining Silver. Not the way it’s visually done here anyway. If you have another way to do it let me know!
It looks like all the different metals melted the ice relatively quickly. The race: Silver and Copper were pretty close, then came Brass (makes sense it’s Copper and Zinc), then Steel, and finally the wood control surface.
I’m going to say this test is very “cool” yet mostly unreliable.
If you have a larger bar I highly suggest you try holding one end and putting a piece of ice on the other and feeling how fast the cold moves through the entire piece. That is a cool experiment.
Hope you’re all having a good one.
Happy hunting.

Both Copper and Silver are both very good thermo conductors as well as electrical conductors. Silver is slightly better for both but not enough different that you can distinguish copper from silver. Notice that frying handles are never made of copper but the bottom of the pan sometimes is. Anyway, this another test to rule out other metals. Unfortunately copper passes a lot of the tests--ice, magnet, and is close on the ping test unless you get used to hearing it. Thankfully it is not quite as dense as silver so it cannot pass the fisch test (dimensions) and weigh correctly.
Yeah, that makes sense! If you’re not sure what a coin is supposed to sound like I recommend using one of the phone applications! I like the Precious Coin Tester app. Fisch instruments makes cool products. Highly recommended.
Nitric acid and density test is all you need
No, it's supposed to CUT into the ice with your body heat near instantly. Knowing the difference between copper and silver is the skill this isn't an easy test.
I’m sure it’s possible but it’s really close to Copper! Check out Jade’s comment with the values.
The thermal conductivity as measured in Btu/(hr ft °F) of the following metals are as listed follows: Silver @ 247.87, Copper @ 231, Mild Steel from 26.0 to 37.5.
Hey jade, yeah this may be better to demo with a piece of steel that isn't plated. Sill not sure how much the plating is effecting this, if at all.
I always forget about the ice test. Awesome video!
Yeah, it won’t confirm it’s real but it could definitely catch a fake!
I brushed my sterling ring on an icecube for the first time years ago, the whole ring went cold. Whenever I get ice I touch ice to my ring, it's thermal conductivity is something else
I remember showing my whole family the silver bar test thinking it was the coolest thing ever !
It’s Super Cool! 🥶
Technically is not the cold moving through the metal but the heat being conducted or transferred out of the metal. In this case going to the ice cube.
Thats a fun thought experiment!
No.
I have the pinger and for the price of it it's a no brainer. I used it on an order I received from ebay and it saved me $100 on 3 ASE. Money well spent
Hey H808H, super cool, happy and sorry to read that! Catching fakes can be a bummer. Hope you got refunded! Also, have we spoken before? Can you send an email to Support@CoinPingTest.com?
Wonder if there's a useful, reliable result that can be derived from this using FLIR?
I believe with special equipment it’s possible, by hand it’s pretty tough without experience. Google shows it about 8% faster through Silver. Yeah, a FLIR test may work, cool. Thanks for sharing
I found it quite unreliable. 🤷♂️
Yeah, it would maybe work if the bar was lead or iron. Definitely not for any of the decent counterfeits!
Hey i wanted to know that the water produced my melting ice/snow on metal is drinkable Or not? Does it contain any toxins Or not?
Please reply 🤎
I'm not qualified to answer this! I've read Silver is antibacterial but not sure if it can purify water. Also, some Silver Coinage has trace amounts of lead. Be cautious!
@@SoundMoneyMetals thanks for the answer 😊
I liked that, thanks
My pleasure Jack! Thanks for watching
Very cool😁
Indeed!
You had just touched those coins so they were also warmer than the table. That's why the table one took so long compared
Hey, yeah, that's possible
Ice is cool, but specific gravity is better.
100% !
Да, очень необычный способ проверки по холодным параметрам температуры. Но это не повредит поверхность металла?🤔
Hello, can you please translate this to English? Hope you’re well!
@@SoundMoneyMetals sorry, i speak on English badly. Can you translate on Russian? 🤗🤗🤗
@@SoundMoneyMetals i am don't translate on English.
Yep it's a dumb test just buy $5 of nitric acid
Use the real ice. Melt some diamonds on those ase’s
Nice. Diamonds are actually much better at thermal conductivity than Silver or Copper. (Credit google search)
