But it is trivial - to first alloy the W in order to make the density absolutely exact. If any of this is true about Ft. Knox - it is sophisticated to a higher degree and involves inside connections to falsify testing, which is always performed, they claim.
A simple test not involving drilling could be done in 15 seconds using a laptop with a sound card and a piezo transducer attached to the USB port. Pure gold will have a unique ring, due to speed of sound in the metal and the size of the bar. W is much stiffer than Au, has a different speed of sound, and even a slight amount of W salted in a bar will make it stand out in a sound test like a sore thumb, when rung at what should be resonance. Anyone who does not perform simple test is almost asking to be burned.
