Metal on the periodic table (6)

I believe the answer is:

copper

(Other definitions for copper that I've seen before include "Police officer (slang)" , "Metallic element and British bobby" , "Metallic element for a British policeman" , "old tub" , "A reddish-brown metal" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
