Hey BMGold,

Just a suggestion, I meant to post it on your othe topic, if you are melting things in your melting dish, that are not know to be gold, don't reuse this dish for gold, it could contaminate your final nuggets, and the most probable solution to getting it pure again would be inquartation, then re-refining from scratch.

I fully intended to melt other stuff using Lazersteve's mini furnace so I ordered a couple extra melting dishes at the same time that I ordered the fire brick furnace. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. It would be a real shame to go through all the steps to refine your gold and then re-contaminate it in the last steps.

Seems I remember you tried E-Bay gold flakes& Pieces, most likely copper, zinc, and other non PM's.

You must be thinking of someone else. I did just get a package of CPU chips from E-Bay since it looks like I am not going to get enough scrap computers to refine and melt a little bit of gold. I probably paid too much for them but I'll just call it educational materials and get over it.

I did/do have some yellow casting metal that is NOT gold but looks close to the right color and was bought to practice sand casting. I have way too many projects started right now so I never got back to the sand casting... YET!

BMGold,

Sorry, I must be mistaken.
