"Any half competent freshman chemistry student could measure density and tell the difference between gold and tungsten."

Tungsten is 0.36% less dense than gold. If a piece was made up of 1/2 each, the difference between that and a pure gold piece would be 0.18% in density.

Just curious: are you suggesting that one could measure the volume and weight and detect the difference?
