Do any here use an electronic gold tester?

    I have an electronic gold tester, a RS Mizar ET18. It has five readings: Non-gold, flash gold, >10K >14K and >18K. Flash gold is the supposedly thinest gold plate.

    I am wondering if anyone has experience with a machine like this.

    Are the readings accurate? If yours has a type of "flash gold" setting, has it ever given an inaccurate reading?

    I have another type - Tri Electronics GT 3000

    It uses a single gel chemical

    The gel is somewhat costly, doesn't last, and destroys its dispenser.

    I never tried it on plate.

    The liquid mine comes with is costly and also destroys the bottle it comes in over time.
