This is the gold I've refined since October 2006. It amounts to almost 403 grams - a bit over one troy pound.

This is a fun hobby for sure!

Nice job. Looks like from the toes in your last photo, someone else knows where you hide those ingots. LOL

Those are really great! You should post one as your Avatar. You've got me beat by a few grams right now, but I'm about to smelt another ounce or two this week. :wink:

I'm going to try your suggestions with the graphite mold.

Good advice Steve. I just added it as my Avatar.

Good luck with the graphite mold!

Not even when you are pouring ingots? Man, I thought I was tough. LOL

Wow, those bars are incredible ! How did you cast them ? Do you use graphite ingot molds ?

Yes, I use a (so-called) one ounce graphite ingot mold, but many of those ingots are over 2 ounces.

The technique I use is the same as I described to Lazersteve.
