[SOLVED] GMH Rocks! ( Alchemy Puzzle )

I'm attempting to figure out what types of metals are in the image found GMH (Animated Attachment).

So far I have figured out that the 2nd metal to appear is Silver (see attached picture of silver)

I should have the other two soon.


[EDIT, Added picture of the third metal. ]

The third metal is copper. Heres a picture to compare it to.

From the pictures I've seen, the first metal seems to be gold, I'm still trying to find a picture that really shows the similaritys though.

Wait, my firm grasp on the obvious can help here! Gold, silver, and copper are first, second, and third place metals! In a race, "gold" would appear first, then "silver", then "copper"!

Sorry, I just wanted to be able to say something about this puzzle after being totally stumped in my attempts to use the letters hidden in the GMH room-link puzzle in the order provided by this .gif - and, well, stating the obvious keeps us from solving these puzzles too quickly.

Bronze is third though, isn't it? [EDIT] "copper is the main element in bronze" -- <enaxor> [/EDIT]

Copper, Silver, and Gold are all in the same Group (11) on the Periodic Table.

The Element after gold in that group is Uninunium, my favorite element. It's symbol is Uuu, and has the atomic number 111.

Hmm, 11... didn't someone say they saw "11" in the stereogram pic that was posted on the GMH site temporarily?

Actually, unless i'm wrong and there was one i didn't see, there was no stereogram on GMH. There's a "fuzzy" picture...
However, the stereogram that is on dreadhouse was mistaken for an 11 at first by someone who had crossed their eyes too far, and saw the skeleton doubled. I think.

OK, I assumed the "fuzzy picture" was a stereogram because someone told me it was. Not that I'd know better, I can't see the dang sailboat...

I believe this is the last image you're looking for...

http://www.mii.org/Minerals/minpics/nickeline.jpg

It's Nickel. So the animated gif was Nickel, Nickel, Nickel, Silver, Copper.

Actually, thats not pure nickle, its "Nickle III Arsenic"

Apperently it is commonly found in Ore vains with Silver and Copper.

(Also, if you open up the animation in its own window, the NiAs only comes down once)

Is this where we ask what's in the 7th Column of the Periodic Table?

Just some spec here, but were there perhaps two more hotels. The Silvermine and Coppermine? It's just linking that with that picture (I forget which one it is) that had the old building which was displayed on the GMH during the funky happenings.... well... GOLDmine hotel seems to follow on nicely, but it's just random spec.

Some chinese folklore:

As the title of this thread suggests, this could be something to do with alchemy. The Seventh Sons schedule could involve:
1) World Domination
2) Brain Control
3) Alchemy
4) Bringing back Walt Disney.
