A replacement for the gold antenna?

I had two broken iPod touches that I turned into one fully functioning ipod. The leftover broken one still boots and doesn't have a back light, but I don't want to spend the money to repair it. Instead I want to jailbreak it and turn it into a media or storage server.

The problem is, I broke the little gold antenna in half, and I lost one of the halves. It still detects wifi networks, but will not connect, and I've tried multiple networks.

Is there a replacement that can be found somewhere, or something else that can be used in it's place, such as foil? I've tried a gum wrapper already, but that did not work. The cheaper the solution, the better. Thanks!

*EDIT*

I tried a piece of a foil gum wrapper. My wifi works now. I'm not sure if the wrapper did it, but I know that I don't want to touch it, now that it works.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

That is one of those parts that is really hard to come by. To bad that you lost the other piece. I did have one repaired by my local jeweler and they are pretty good in fixing little pieces out of exotic materials. I guess I'd be scouring the usual places like ebay etc. good luck with your quest.
