If true, it seems strange that they would use copper which is lighter & more expensive than lead, & surely, certainly not titanium, which is far too light to pass off as a gold barthedigger said:I guess they come and buy us with fake money too!!

Lots of people buying from e-bay have got fake ingots and will never know until some one checks..
LOL fake small ingots were being sold on Ebay as paper weights a few years ago, about $12 delivered.

Titanium isn't mentioned in the article. Are you confusing it with tungsten, which is mentioned and is used because it has the same density as gold?
Asia fakes so many items. Buyer beware
Fake eggs. Fake cabbage, fake detectors fake grapes....

If you read Australian Gold Gem and Treasure, February 2020 edition, page 27 you'll see that they have been accused of being at scams such as this for over 100 years. There's an article in the mag dated 25th August 1911 that talks about The Celestials faking small granular gold using gold dipped lead and zinc pellets placed in chamois bags and sold to banks as alluvial wash. It was costing about 8 shillings an ounce to produce when gold was selling for 3 pounds, 17 shillings and sixpence an ounce. Nice profit!
I want to know what happened to the other 2 tons "thedigger", did you keep some? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Snot good.
Seen a fake gold bar on the Philippines years ago ...knew an English man at the time they bought one thinking he was getting a bargain. ..in a way it was karma as he was a bit of a fraudster himself..
Goes to show you that everything China produce is a cheap fake .the less Australia has to do with China the better I say ,make Australia great again we have the resources just bad management in Canberra ???
