[QUOTE="nucopia, post: 523197, member: 5588"] That seems to be what the problem is Dave ..the small crucible is ok with a small amount of gold (couple of grams ) because it can melt the gold and form a small button no need to pour it etc but with a larger amount of gold, it just cant get and stay hot enough to keep the gold liquide and pour it into the mold .. Its taken us 4 years to collect that 16 grams and I am happy to now have a decent blob of gold to hold onto and until we can collect more I wont need to melt it again :Y: [/QUOTE]
