    No difference . It is my understanding that in the late 1970s Philip
    Baldwin was the first to do gold silver mokume in the US. ( I have
    seen the pieces) . I started doing gold silver mokume in the early
    nineties.  So it looks like the reporter and the artist have not
    done their research.
