[QUOTE="davent, post: 623043, member: 6002"] Hahahahahha! It's really weird, I had a 38 gram bar, it was a nice shiny, gold bar. I then melted 28 grams of sub gram nuggets, some had a tiny bit of quartz or rock on them, but pretty clean, and about 6 grams of fines out of the pan. This is where I think the problem came, it was mixed and looked dirty. But I thought borax would take care of that. The other factor is some of the nuggets looked pretty silver, I I mean really light compared to some of the others which just looked gold . There is a trace of a mineral in the area that is used to make tungsten as well I think. Guess I'll find out when it gets zapped at P W Becks. [/QUOTE]
