How to make gold ????? real or not ?

At long last the hungry plough man cheats, with empty grains instead of lusty meats.

In other words it produces something that looks like gold, but does not pass any tests.

I read just recently that tungsten has the exact same density as gold, meaning it will pass the test of volume to weight ratio.

If you created tungsten bars slightly smaller than the gold you were emulating, and coated them in 1/4 inch of real gold, it would pass even the most advanced testing including x rays. Nobody would suspect a thing without severely altering the bar,by cutting,drilling or melting it.

The counterfeits would be expensive to produce,considering their actual gold content, but it would be a long time before anyone suspected anything,maybe never.

Fools gold. Interesting find though leon. Thanks

Thank you guys.

Your welcome

One thing to note that many seem to forget. Including myself many times, is that the process (art) is more important than the ingredients. There is more then one way to skin a cat and many treatises are simply showing processes. But we tend to dwell on the words describing the materials used instead. Good luck in this path leon. It has its ups and downs in order to weed out the majority

I would suggest you look in the rams collection under correct usage that has a tract on copper and lead and how to do what you are thinking about but you will need copper ore to do it I could say more on this but I not going to .
