What about a long cylinder full of Mercury (see other posts about
mercury container!)


B-)

Mercury is only 2g/cm^3 denser than Lead so the added agro is
probably not worth it. Hg 13.5g/cm^3, Pb 11.3g/cm^3.

Gold would be better 19.3g/cm^3 that's higher (just) than uranium.


Now there's a thought - turn all my gold ingots into sash weights.
No-one would think of looking *there* for them! g
