Non-Chemical Pouring exactly 1 troy ounce at a time

[MargueriteMingorance]

How about picking some sand at the beach and milling it to size?. Or not milling it at all?.

Nice guide. Thanks!.

Beach sand, if it comes from a reef, is calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Otherwise, sand is weathered minerals with all sorts of different chemical compositions. You can even have silver chloride sand :shock:

You may as well let your gold set up in a fused silica melting dish or in jewelers investment plaster.

Those that cast the big bars that end up in bank vaults don't go to the trouble you are proposing.

In the end what's to gain?

Considering how soft and malleable gold is, really you can pour a button or a long ingot (like the jewellers use to make wire afterwards. Then cut it with a bolt cutter and scissors to the exact weight you want, then hammer it into any shape you want inside a steel mold or whatever. It'll fit perfectly, with perfect finish and you can get the weight as exact as you want if you have a good balance. If you have a hydraulic press you can even stamp it!.

It really, really rolls like butter!. 8)

Of all the recent threads, this one has got to be the most aggravating to me. No offense, but there has been nothing on here, at least recently, that has any practical merit at all. It's just a bunch of egghead, pie-in-the-sky thinking written by some egghead, pie-in-the-sky people. I realize that some people get into this sort of thing but I'm not one of them. I'm not saying you have to stop. It's just that I have to click to go on here for 1 second just to get rid of that damned orange flag. Reading the posts is a total waste of time.

The original question was: Can you pour exactly 1 tr.oz. at a time. No.

How can you make exactly 1 tr.oz bars? Cast bar. Roll it out to an exact thickness. Stamp out the blank. Coin the blank.

Case closed.

That, of course, is exactly what has been said earlier, where one die strikes to achieve the desired results.

Save your breath. That point has been discussed, all to no avail. We have an individual (that obviously has no clue) that is hell bent on re-inventing the wheel and will have no part of reason-----he simply must have a new wheel, even if it isn't round.

I really like Chris' comments. That's exactly how I feel about this subject. I'm tired of trying to reason with a person that insists on having the last word--no matter how misguided it may be. I'm finished with this topic, and so is everyone else. It serves no purpose other than to expose how misinformed a person can be. The thread is now locked, and if a new one gets started that continues this subject in the fashion it has gone, it will be deleted.
