[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 679030, member: 4728"] You have done well to do a SG on such a small nugget. 1.5 grams at a SG of around 17 to 19 would occupy a volume of under 0.1cc which would be very tricky to work with. I go along with the gold filling idea. Gold fillings may not be pure gold but alloyed with other noble metals such as palladium SG 12.2 etc which may explain why the SG is a bit less than gold. They may also have an implant post made of other metals or alloys such as Titanium SG 4.51 which may explain the other metal inclusion Gold fillings have to be cast to a mold of the cavity shape and then cemented in place. Imagine if it were necessary to hot pour molten gold to fill a cavity. [/QUOTE]
