i.e. gold, steel, lead, etc.

if an object the size of golf ball were made of pure neutronium (the substance of neutron stars which is composed of pure neutrons packed so that there is no spaces between the neutrons) it would be incredibly massive.\n\nneutronium is 4.0 x 10^17 kg/m3 (about a million million times denser than lead which is 1.134 x 10^4 kg/m3).\n\na golf ball 1.68 inches in diameter made of neutronium would have a mass of about 17.9 billion tons.  \n\nthis is about equivalent to the mass of all of the coal reserves in Indiana in one little ball.\n\nthe same golf ball made of lead would have a mass of just over a pound.  made of glass it would be 3.7 ounces.  gold would be 1.7 pounds.  irridium would be very close to two pounds.  stainless steel would 11.5 ounces.  platinum would be 1.9 pounds (30.5 ounces).\n\nif the golf ball were made of Monterey Jack cheese, it would be about 1.44 ounces.\n\na black hole with a Schwarzschild radius equal in size to a golf ball would have a mass about 2.4 times that of the Earth.

I don't know of any funds that are a pure play on industrial metals.  Go to Yahoo Finance and check out the holdings on the natural resource and basic materials funds.  \n\nTwo funds that come to mind are the BlackRock Global Resource Fund (formerly State Street), symbol SSGRX or the Rydex Basic Materials fund, symbol RYBMX.

Coins. Many years ago we were using coins made of gold and silver because the coin itself had value. Paper=not valuable, so paper money was not first.

Zinc is by far the best element. I also like plutonium.  It's just fun to say. "Plutonium."

Sell the lead. Buy Gold...\nProbably for each dozen pounds of Lead you can just buy a gram of pound... but I think is the only way to turn one into another...

Mail it to me, I have a friend who knows a friend of a friend who knows a bit about gold.  I'll then be able to fill you in on any details.  I am honest, honest!

From less than $100 to thousand of dollars depending upon the metal that it is made of, whether it has jewels and if it was custom molded

i heard there are tiny metals ranging in size between\nmicrodots and pieces of wire 1/3rd of an inch.
