They're Tungsten Peter - a lot heavier than lead.
Specific gravity just 1% ish less than gold so near impossible to spot without drilling - though I've no doubt some form of electrical impedence gizmo could be produced.
Well the tricked can hope against hope for a rush on Tungsten futures....:bird:
Just checked. W - specific gravity; 19.3 Au - specific gravity 19.32 - very clever! W now at about $35/Kg....quite a 'margin'! Caveat Emptor!
