What can I use to take super glue off of a gold chain necklace?

Super glue exploded onto my favorite necklace. * sigh * I have heard acetone will take super glue off, but will it damage the gold? How should I go about getting all the gunk out of the tiny links?

What was the benefits(intended or actual) in removing the gold standard from the U.S. dollar?

Also, what happened to all of that gold?

How does the flash from any camera in general affect the appearance of gold?

Filed under: Photography — Tags: , , — @ 8:15 pm

While I was on vacation in Warsaw, Poland, I visited the Royal Castle, bringing along with me my camera. I saw many interesting things there, mainly a room made of almost 40% gold, so obviously intrigued to take a picture, but was stopped and told to turn off the flash on my camera first. So, my question is, how does camera flash affect gold in any way?

Where can I try panning for placer gold in southern Michigan in the east side of the state near Detroit?

Filed under: Earth Sciences & Geology — Tags: , — @ 1:20 pm

I have never panned for gold before and I would like to at least start where there might be some. I live just north of Detroit, I have read that their is palcer gold in Michigan. I could use some tips… I am also willing to try areas not too far into Ohio.
