SMTH 庚 Geng Metal
庚金掌天地肃杀之权，主人间兵革之变。
Geng Metal is in charge of the Withering Qi that comes in Autumn,and warfare matter among mankind.
在天为风霜，在地为金铁，谓之阳金。
In heaven as frosty wind, on earth as Metal and Iron. It is named Yang Metal.
其禄到申，申乃刚金，喜戊土而生，畏癸水而溺；
It is at the 'Lu' stage in Shen, Shen is tough metal, likes to be engendered by Wu Earth, is afraid of drowning in Gui water.
长生于巳，巳中戊土能生庚金，乃阳生阳也；
Is born at Si, Wu earth within Si can engender Geng metal, which is Yang engendering Yang
巳为炉冶之火，锻炼庚金，遂成钟鼎之器，叩之有声，若遇水土沉埋则无声也，所谓金实无声。
Si is the fire of furnace and smelt, molding Geng metal, making it to be objects like bells and censers (great objects), when it is knocked, it sounds, if it meets water and earth to be submerged or buried there would be no sound, it is said that metal truly has no sound.
至于子地，水旺之乡，金寒水冷，子旺母衰，亦遭沉溺之患，岂能复生？
Until Zi land, the place where water is prosperous, Metal is chilly and water is cold, child is prosperous and mother is weak, then it suffers the hardship of being drowned and not able to re-birth.
故庚金生于巳而死于子。经云：金沉水底。正此谓也。
Thus, Geng metal is born in Si and dies at Zi. The classic says, Metal sinks at the bottom of water. That is the meaning of this.
