How are “gilded” items made with metal plating? Such as flowers or leaves coated in gold?
I heard that someone did deceased turtles (gross) in copper but I don't know if that is myth.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Although there are undoubtedly plenty of weird things that have been plated in metal, the most lucrative may have been the product (literally!) of an artist who sold an exhibit of what he claimed were his gold-plated feces for $500,000 (no images available--is that fortunate or unfortunate?).

M$You probably mean "electroplating" which involves using an electrical current passing through an object to attract metal particles in a solution to adhere to the surface of the object.
As near as I can tell, you can electroplate almost anything that will pass a current, so "weirdest" thing is probably whatever you can imagine, with "dead turtle" probably not being all that weird!
