It is almost twice as heavy as lead.
If both objects are pure gold then the density is the same. Weight and mass are not factors in this particular question.
Lead.
Because lead is a heavy element with a large atomic nucleus, it is effective at absorbing radiation; in addition, it's quite affordable (as compared to using gold, for example, which is also a heavy element).
it actually gold because Lead has a density of about 11.3 grams per cc, Gold has a density of about 19.3 grams per cc, so for a given volume, gold is much heavier than lead.
The atomic weight/mass of Lead is 207.19 --- --- --- The atomic weight/mass of Gold is 196.96655 --- --- --- --- --- --- Therefor Lead has more mass.
High compared to hydrogen and helium, low compared to lead, gold and uranium.

The atomic number of lead, Pb, is 82. Its atomic mass depends on the isotope, as the number of electrons can vary. Its atomic weight (average relative mass ) on the periodic table is 207.2.
The weight of lead 11.34 grams per cubic centimetreThe weight of gold is 19.3 grams per cubic centimetre(from new person) Okay, I agree, but learn how to spell centimetER. Forget about spelling because in Europe they do spell it centimetre, just like theater and theatre. The specific gravities of the two metals, meaning that gold is 19.32 times heavier than water and likewise lead is 11.34 times as heavy. A cc of gold does seem to be almost twice as heavy as a cc of lead, but according to their respective atomic weights, the opposite begs to differ in this seemingly odd paradox. You see, gold (Au) on the periodic chart, has an atomic mass of 196.9 whereas lead (Pb) is slightly heavier with an atomic weight of 207.2 You might ask, why the paradox? Simple really. For that given measure of volume such as a cc, there are almost twice amount of gold atoms packed into that space as there are lead atoms. This is due to the arrangement of their respective atoms, similar to how water molecules are more densely packed together in the liquid state as compared to the solid state of ice.
Lead cannot be turned into gold. Lead can only be turned into more lead, and more lead can only be turned into even more lead. Lead cannot be magically turned into gold.
Lead is dissolved in nitric acid, gold not.
There is no process to make gold out of lead.
A digger's ounce was an overweight lead counter balance used to cheat the Indians out of their gold during the gold rush in California. It had no specific weight other than being greater than the weight it was represented to be.
All elements heavier than nickel are only synthesized in supernova explosions, and are therefore relatively rare. Gold isn't that rare compared to many other elements, but it's regarded as intrinsically valuable, and so people tend to hoard it. (Lead is even heavier than gold, so why isn't it expensive? Well, lead has a number of exceptionally stable isotopes you get to lead by a lot of decay chains from even heavier elements, so it's more common than its atomic weight might suggest.)
Sell it, buy gold for the money. Technically is impossible to obtain gold from lead.
