Be prepared to make a fortune. As urban legend has it, Phelps-Dodge are descendants of the tribe by the same name. You may already know P-D dabbles in the copper market as part of metals used in feedline manufacturing. But before that, well before that, an Inca General named Rumiñahui fled the marauding Spanish and took with him a large share of the ransom he had been collecting for his King. He disappeared into the remote mountainous region of Ecuador called the Llanganati. The load of gold artifacts he took with him is considered the largest undiscovered treasure in Latin America, valued at two billion dollars. Much of this loot was manufactured into transformers with gold laminates, painted in the usual black wrinkle or dark, nearly black varnish. Clearly it was not an issue of rust or tarnish but rather a means to camouflage the quantity of gold as innocuous "ham radio" transformers that people would think are worth maybe $1, or $2 if multitap. Just as clearly as their black finish, this "iron" has an unusually good grip on gravity. You may indeed have the treasure, if these transformers seem particularly heavy. See you on ebay , perhaps.
