Was It Really Cubic Zirconia?


Recommended Posts

Late last summer I took my new Gold Racer to the park along with a conventional detector.  I swung both, one in each hand.  At one point I got a strong signal on the GR but nothing on the other detector.

I dug it and found a one carat cubic zirconia on a silver tie tack.  I took it home, and just before I left for my winter home in Mexico, I put it under the GR for an air test.  It came up a unshakable ID50.

Now ID50 is about what I would expect for platinum.  I was way too busy to pursue it further at that time.  Now all winter long I'm going to wonder:  Why would anyone mount a cubic zirconia on a platinum setting.
