[SEL] Gold on rod

[Mark Shulaw]

I've seen golden or bronze-brass colors like that after the use of brass or 
bronze wire brushes or wheels.
Some tins will leave a golden flushed color like that too.  Don't know why 
just know I've seen it before.
                      Have a Great Weekend!   Mark
