SUPER SOAPBOX DERBY RACER
I guess the heyday of soapbox derbies is long past. Must have been fun, though, based on examination of this relic of the 40s or 50s. The "Claustrophobia" is one heck of a sleek machine. Air up its tires, and it practically glides all by itself. Whoever built it knew what they were doing - the intricacies of its construction are impressive enough to make Ford or GM take notice. Each wheel bearing has its own grease fitting. The suspension is as solid as a Hummer's. And why did the designer name his creation "Claustrophobia?" The photo of the beast's interior makes that obvious. The driver had to lie horizontally on his back and peer through the plexiglass windshield as best he was able. Also visible in the interior view are the levers that control the brakes and steering This impressive machine is located on the second floor if you're interested in taking a look.

WATCH OUT FOR FAKE GOLD!
We're seeing this often nowadays - gold jewelry that is marked 14K or 10K or other Ks... When it's in actuality gold plate or a compound with a minor amount of gold. Case in point is this ring that a gentleman brought into the shop last week. Take a look at the photos. The "diamonds" are brilliant and beautiful, and the inside of the ring is clearly marked "14K." Due to its weight (or lack thereof) I suspected a forgery when I first picked it up. A quick test with my diamond probe indicated that the "diamonds" were probably zirconium dioxide. Testing for gold requires a bit more effort - the application of varying strengths of nitric acid, after notching the item in order to remove a possible plating, to determine the quality of the gold. I tried 14K acid first, only to witness the green bubbles that indicate the presence of copper. I then tried 10K acid, with the same result. It's possible that the metal of which the ring is made contains some gold, but there's certainly not enough to render it 14K, nor even 10K.
Buy your gold and diamonds from a reputable source. If you have doubts about its authenticity, require the jeweler to either prove that fact, or place in writing a guarantee that you're getting the gold or diamonds you're paying for.
My book, How to Hunt Treasure, has a chapter on testing and grading gold and diamonds. If you desire to learn a bit more, take a look at it.
