found what looks like alot of golden eggs

[neeks2569]

hi everyone,

im new here, i was recently in morocco hanging out with a very close family friend who found on his property a bunch of these things that look like gold eggs. i am told they are not gold, but they are very old and worth a lot of money. whether or not this is true i have no idea and hope one of you can shed some light on it. they have a word for what they are but i don't know how to spell it. it sounds like this "YAH-HOOOTS"... i will attach a few photos. like i said i don't have to many specifics on them, as far as weight they felt like they weigh a little more than an average mouse. want to get the tested but in morocco it is very hard. if it is found to be worth money everyone will want. here are some photos...please either respond here or email me at [email protected]

thanks

Reminds me of the 1970s Disney movie the million dollar duck, about a duck who laid golden eggs.

The farmer may have used empty egg shells to pour the metal. I would definetly recommend a metal test to determine type. the farmer may have been duped into thinking it was gold and used empty egg shells to form them. Easier then buying supplies in that region and certainly easier then trying to buy something and raise suspicion especially if everyone would be interested in them.

might be brass eggs used to fool chickens -one uses them to keep a chicken from relocating her nest --when one "removes eggs" from a chickens nest -- one replaces the real eggs with these fake brass eggs in the nest to fool the hen into thinking her eggs are still there and that her nesting site is secure so she keeps on laying her eggs there and doesn't relocate her nest.

imo That could make sense if the finder was able to Polish them in a Professional Way.

Brass should have tarnished heavily.

Much more then Gold, But even gold should have needed to at least be Buffed after
a long time dormant

I have never seen brass or gold eggs used to fool chickens. I have seen plaster, baked clay and even high-fired porcelain eggs (and nowadays, plastic ones), but metal -- never. Besides, even if they did make them (and I admit there could be metal eggs out there, I've just not seen them) I doubt anyone would go to the trouble to give them a mirror finish. I have chickens, and believe me, the chickens would not care. If anything, seeing their reflection in an egg would probably scare them away.

Pouring molten metal into a fragile hen's egg -- especially bronze, which, depending upon the alloy would melt at around 1800 to 2400 degrees F -- would more than likely burn it to ashes within a few seconds. The eggs are more likely to have been cast in sand. I believe that is rather an abundant substance in Morocco.

So I mean have you done a gold kit test on the Egg yet?

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

The Eggs are in Morocco and the OP is here as he said in original post page 1

Correct The OP Lives a short distance from me here in PA

So it's obvious info to & from Morocco is necessary to answer most questions

 

[neeks2569]

no tests done yet. this is not an easy task. i live in america, the eggs are in morocco. and not a part of morocco like most tourist areas. im talking a town that has nothing, they see me wearing 100 dollar sneakers and think im bill gates. the main transportation is horses and donkeys....not a joke. and they are on a farm miles away from the town.

 

[neeks2569]

the town has and sells basic needs for everyday life, food, water, toiet paper things of that nature....it is very very poor. not as easy as walking down the corner and being able to get everything needed to live, fix a car, and build a house at the giant walmart lol.

They've got salt haven't they? Like I said earlier, scrape the surface of one egg so you know you're down to bare metal, then dunk it in salt water. Pull it out and let it sit a few days. Brass will corrode and turn green.....gold won't.

Hello, I think these are made using lapidary equipment in Morocco as well as here in the United States. However the 75% of them come from Morocco. They use anything from marble, Selentine, Charlcedony, Septarian all the way to Mammoth ivory to fossilized whale teeth and so on. They have just about every shape and color you could ever want at the Tucson fossil and mineral show. You can Google Polished Egg and you will see many of them. The first photo looked very similar to fossil ivory or whale teeth that we generally work with.

I can’t say for certain what material used but I hope this narrows your search down. Price will be determined with size and material. I sell polished Whale teeth between 100.00 to 500.00 each.

These are metal -- or at least that is what they seem to be. Type of metal is still in doubt.

These are either natural minerals that may contain pyrite or fossils that has been polished and shaped with lapidary equipment. I would post them on the fossil and mineral section and you will be able to get a more accurate identification. Hope this helps.
