How much does an African buffalo weigh in ounces?

Can you tell gold by its attraction to a magnet?
No. Gold is not a magnetic substance.Well ... I guess if the sample is attracted to a magnet, then you've discovered that the sample is definitely not gold. That proof oughta be worth something.
I just sold an item that is 14K solid gold and the buyer said it isn't because it sticks to a magnet. Can you test to see if something is real gold by using a magnet or is she trying to cheat me?
Pure gold is not magnetic. The less-than-pure 14K gold is often created by taking pure gold (24K) and alloying it with silver and copper to give it the hardness or lustre that the maker wants. But combinations of gold, silver and copper aren't magnetic. Testing gold with a magnet will tell if iron or other ferromagnetic material is alloyed with the gold, but if the magnet does not pick up the gold item being tested, we know nothing more about that gold. Some gold is alloyed with nickel, and nickel is magnetic. As we don't know what item was sold and because we can't know how the 14K gold was made, we can't tell much else from the question. A gold and nickel alloy will respond to a magnet. But what can be told from this? Only that the magnet is reacting to a ferromagnetic material. And that is all.
Can scientists prove the existence of ghosts?
Though many claim to have created "methods" to communicate with ghosts, it is highly questionable! There are people who claim that they can talk to "ghosts" and can tell you what they want and ect. Again it is highly possible that these are fakes. But the only method that I believe can provide some proof for extra natural is through the EM field fluctuations.

What will a buffalo nickel be worth in about 50 years?
That's like asking how much my house will be worth in 50 years -- there is no way to tell. All I can say is that if you have a buffalo nickel that is considered a common date now, then in 50 years it will still be considered to be a common date.
What is the value of an f series buffalo head nickel?
The "f" is not a mintmark but rather an initial. With out a date it is impossible to tell the value of your coin. Most buffalo or Indian head nickels aren't worth much. Post a new question and structure it like this to ensure an answer- "What is the value of a <date> US nickel" or " What is a <date> US nickel worth".
What can anyone tell me about my 1918 Buffalo Indian Head Nickel which is gold in color.?
The Buffalo Indian Head Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938. Most of these coins were made of a copper-nickel alloy, but some were plated in gold as a novelty or for jewelry purposes. If your 1918 Buffalo Nickel is gold in color, it is likely plated and not made of pure gold. The gold plating does not add significant value to the coin for collectors.

Why doesn't the 1939 nickel have a buffalo on it?
There is no coin called a "nickle". There is, however, a NICKEL. And the reason that it doesn't have a buffalo on it is simply that the Mint decided to use a new design in 1938 to honor Thomas Jefferson. As you can tell by simply looking at your pocket change it's essentially the same design that's been used on nickels ever since, except for recent modifications for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial and the new face design introduced in 2006.
What is the value of a 1977 US silver proof set?
Well, you have got to tell what is in the proof set. Say that it was a nickel, dime,half dollar, and silver dollar, I'd say about $15, but $14 dollars of it from the silver dollar...~Kyle Michel~Very Experienced Coin Collector~VERY INCORRECT1977 Proof Sets were only issued in cupro-nickel clad composition.
