Default Wives tale, Myth or fact

It has been said that you can take a ring and run it down your face and it will leave a black line if it is real gold...

Is this myth or fact...or just someone pulling someone's leg!!!

Who know's the answer to this one???

Default Myth

GIVE IT A TRY......I think someone is pulling both your legs...LOL...Heard a lot of them but not this one. NOW...If it leaves green, that's something else.

I just tried it with a 14k ring and, no Black line appeared. Must be a wives tale.

Some of these old tales are interesting. Got any others ?

It seems that I've heard this before - but can't remember where...BUT I've also heard that if a person wears a chicken costume while metal detecting - people will leave you alone... I haven't tried this personally - but if y'all wouldn't mind trying it and get back with us on how it works, I know I"D certainly appreciate it!

Don't know about the Chicken outfit but I did try it with a Giraffe outfit one time, Kinda worked, No one bothered me but every time I bent over to see what was in the hole my face was 8 feet in front of where I dug.

Tinman, I can just see you in that costume. I would pay money to see that for sure...Not much, but I would pay..Maybe a gator costume would be better...Buster.....
