Gold or copper, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metal

I believe this is a double definition.

'gold' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'copper say' is the second definition.
(I know that copper is a type of metal)

(Other definitions for metal that I've seen before include "tin, perhaps" , "Zirconium, for example" , "Broken stones" , "Headbanger's music genre" , "Copper or gold, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
