[QUOTE="nucopia, post: 523177, member: 5588"] Thanks Dave Its certainly a learning curve thats for sure . Any way i was able to melt a bit over half an ounce (16 grams) but i could not keep it melted long enough to pour the gold into the graphite mould. Ended up with just a blob of gold. Looks ok :) but ... I must be doing something wrong and no idea what it is.. :8 [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/5588/1574730562_af4a9251-f006-44ec-9217-cc1c71d7dbf3.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/5588/1574731241_900ae2d3-c485-47b8-82aa-5339d440caf3.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
