    I have a client who brought me a number of pre columbian gold
    figurines. One of the items was a frog and I could clearly see 
    parting fins between the fingers and toes. This guy paid a great
    deal of money for these items. $20,000 for one of them. He p[lans to
    buy more of them. Does anyone out there know how the Maya, Inca,
    Toltec, etc. cast these gold items?
