How to turn Lead into Gold

This is Alchemy. Here's why: He took lead and recycled it for magic paper then he was able to buy real gold! Alchemy is transmuting something of little value into something valuable.

Thats a great vid...I have been turning my lead into silver though....and my steel into repurposed steel. Now if we can get all those coke bottles repurposed into polymered framed AR's that would be sweet.

The egyptians actually did it!!
They DID turn lead into gold.
they kept how to do it a secret and people have been trying to do it again for eons.
when they first found and displayed king Tut's gold treasures,
everyone thought it was solid gold worth a fortune.
It was really gold plated lead.
No-one can explain how they did it, but they did.
rumors of it must have leaked out and that's why all the majicians and alchemists
were so into trying to re-create what the egyptians could do.
We can ignore reality but we can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.


The truth will set you free,
but first it's really going to piss you off.

I buy used wheel weights from the tire store, turn them into 9mm, 45c, 50 cal musket balls, and 12 ga. slugs. Then I trade them for silver.

I haven't been able to make the jump to gold...yet.

All the best...Bob.

I can turn 7 grams of iron into 181 grams of nickel or 317 grams of copper.

All I have to do is deposit a $1 Canadian 2011 loonie made of iron into the bank and get back pennies and nickels in return.

I can imagine people used to think the opposite way about nickels when they could exchange 5 nickels in 1964 for one silver quarter, or 20 nickels back in 1889 for a Gold dollar.
