What happens if i find gold or silver on the beach?

Posted on January 11th, 2010 by admin

if i were to find silver or gold coins on the beach(US), would i get to keep it? or how much do i have to pay for it? thx!
i was wondering if i found gold or silver (like spanish coins) on the beach (US) would i get to keep it? how much would i have to pay in taxes?

My understanding is that the law in most jurisdictions for a thing like that (which isn’t like a purse or some object that clearly belongs to someone else) is that the person who finds it gets to keep it. So congratulations! Mind if I offer some advice. Take the gold and sell it to an online store that specializes in buying gold for fair prices. I suggest http://www.refinity.com/

How do I properly clean a silver soap dish?

Posted on December 21st, 2009 by admin

I have a silver soap dish from one of my grandparents that I put a bar of soap in. The soap is gone now and it left the bottom of the container various shades of pink, blue, and green. What do I use to clean it out?

If there are pink and blue green stains this could indicate that the dish is plated copper. The chemicals in the soap have reacted with the metal(s) to cause corrosion. Try using a commercial silver cleaner with a soft rag. It may take some elbow grease and is likely that it will still have some staining but you can probably find some improvement this way.

What is the differance between xbox live silver and gold?

Posted on November 24th, 2009 by admin

And how much is silver and how much is gold. And can you play online with silver or can you only download stuff? And can you talk to your friends on silver?

A silver membership can be used for downloading, talking to friends, sending messages, and pretty much anything to deal with the marketplace.

A gold membership can be used for anything, including online play, having xbox live parties so you can talk to all of your friends at once (up to 8 people at once).

Xbox live silver is free and xbox live gold will cost you a minimum of $50 per year!

How obvious is it if you have silver fillings?

Posted on November 22nd, 2009 by admin

I need to get fillings in a few of my teeth, 3 bottom molars and 2 top molars, and I can’t afford to get white ones so they’ll have to be silver.

I just wondered how noticable they are on a daily basis, like when you’re laughing etc, is it really obvious? And what do you think if you see people with quite a lot of fillings? Do you think it’s a bad thing?

Silver fillings are quite noticeable. It does not look that bad though, since it would be at the back of you mouth. The main concern would be to have your teeth fixed to prevent further decay.

Another point of concern would be the safety of silver fillings. I read somewhere that it could be bad for your health since it can contain small quantities of mercury.

I see people with lots of fillings but I don’t think it looks bad. If you can’t afford the white fillings, go for the silver ones for now and when you’ve saved enough money, you can have them changed later on. You can’t wait and save money now, coz your teeth needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

What does the color gold and silver mean in physics?

What does the color gold and silver mean in physics?

The visible light of electromagnetic radiation contains red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.(from longest wave to shortest wave)

If you mix all wavelength of visible light together, it will be white.

But what’s the wavelength of gold and silver in visible light?

What does the color gold and silver mean in physics?
There are red light, yellow light, green light, blue light, white light and violet light.

Do they have gold light and silver light?

Combinations of different colors in different combinations give rise to different perceptions of colors in our visual system. Most of the colors we see do not correspond to any one wavelength in the spectrum.

If you mix all wavelengths of visible light together IN EQUAL INTENSITIES, it will be white. But with other mixtures it might be gray, or brown, or orange, or green-blue, or gold or silver, or…

And you can approximate a wide range of colors by simply mixing three sources of red, green and blue. That is the principle behind the color computer screen you’re looking at.

How do i get silver pen off my car window?

Posted on October 31st, 2009 by admin

Someone used a silver gel pen and drew a squiggle on my car window. Any ideas how to get it off please?

Have you tried regular water?

The gel ink is water-based, so this should work.

If it doesn’t, try rubbing alcohol, or acetone (nail polish remover).

Try anti graffiti spray it should not affect the enamel and the silver should just wipe away or you could try cutting compound from Halfords.

How can I clean silver threads that have turned black in a ribbon?

Posted on October 25th, 2009 by admin

This is a bride’s headress (69 years old) made of plaited ribbon with what looks like silver threads running through the ribbon. In parts it looks very black and tarnished, I want to clean it enough to restore some of what it originally looked like in order to photograph it for posterity. Does anyone know of a gentle method, please?

If they have tarnished they may be real silver. If it was mine, I would spray it with a solution of ammonia and water, wait 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. If that makes a difference, do it again until you get the result you want. Of course, don’t do this if the fabric can’t take getting wet. That will have to be your call, depending what else the ribbon is made of. Ammonia is an excellent cleaner for silver and as far as I know, doesn’t damage fabrics or dyes. If the ribbon can handle it, you might brush it a little with a soft brush while it’s damp with the ammonia.
