<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4239156, member: 360&quot;]Gold-FILLING is different from gold PLATING though. </p><p><br /></p><p>Gold-filling is literally a sheet of gold fused to a sheet of brass, so yes, it&#039;s much thicker and lasts longer. I actually ran into a guy at the flea-market once, haggling with another fella for a ziplock bag FULL of old broken GF pocketwatch cases, purely for the gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now in that instance, it might be worth melting, because the gold content is fairly high. But with gold-plated (ie - electroplate), the layer of gold is so thin that you can literally rub it off with your fingers...I don&#039;t want to think of how much effort is required to get that gold out, and how little the return would be...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
