Err. .. Why would anyone gold plate an iron?? I can just about take people making jewelry, watch dials, dog statues, spheres, knives, coins, medals, out of space rocks if they must, but gold plating!?? Hell you might as well just paint them with hammerite paint!!
Humans eh, I give up.

The description says that the plating will prevent the meteorite from ever rusting. I know Gibeon is generally not a ruster (not exclusively though, and I've got a problem slice to prove it) but I'm skeptical of the claims. Is there any truth to the plating process being effective?
