1. smelt the product first to get rid of nonmetals ( save the slag though because you might be able to recover gold nuggets from it )
2. drill into several areas of the recovered metal and weigh the sampled metal and record the weight
3. wrap sample in lead foil, along with pure silver
4. heat in a cupel at 2000 degrees f - the base metals should be absorbed into the cupel
5. after removing the cupel from the oven, kiln, other, brush the sample to remove bits of the cupel
6. hammer (or roll) the sample into a thin sheet and place in a container of nitric acid (i personally prefer to use sulfuric acid)... remember to save the acid so you can recover the silver
7. wash the sample in water (distilled preferably) and after drying weigh the sample to determine the gold conent of parent product ( divide the original sample weight by the new sample weight)

dont ask me why you add lead or silver - thats just the way its been told to me...
could be for similar reasons as to why the granddaughter cuts off the ends of the bread because the grand mothers breadbox was too small
