    Electroplating gold from leach onto steel wool, day one - gold on wool red in colour, day two getting much darker with the wire getting thicker.

    Bottom image day three, darker and gaining weight.

    Buyer wants it alloyed with copper which suits me fine as it was previously cemented out from the leach with copper, thus already contaminated with copper.
