Can someone answer this question:

1. Is there a reliable dating system for precious metals?
2. If the location where the artifact was found is unknown, is it possible
at
all to date it?
3. How accurate can such a dating system be?
4. Can it be applied without damaging the artifact?

Thank you in advance,

Micha.
