Rebel,
Welcome, and as Bill said, Waltz hand cobbled the ore that came from his mine before bringing it home. His ore is described as being about 1/3rd gold. Here is a pic of a match safe made from his ore:

If the LDM had any tailings to speak of, it would have been found a loooooooooooong time ago.
Here is the description of the ore in his mine:
18" vein of rose and white quartz shot through with gold, and 8" soft gray tuff with visible gold.

Theoretically yes, and you could probably fool 95% of the sheep with that ploy. A real gold miner or lapidarist would spot the fake instantly.Any chance you could pour metal in to voids in quartz matrix and thin section down to this?
