Melting a Pure Gold Nugget from a 9999 Gold Bar

What are you going to make out of it

[@mustachemetalworks]

I hammered this into a rectangular prism, drew it out into a 1.85mm square wire, and made another pretzel pendant for an etsy order (see my pretzel video).

Old timmer showed me how to make gold nuggets that are 100% real looking sold them for more than spot to jewelers but also sworn me to keep it secret but that looked okay

[@alaska_lapua3383]

I will try here soon just got the materials to make one. Going to try with copper since I have no gold.

[@SpeedrunIQ]

how?

[@burto77]

Hi mate, I would love to see if you could make a natural looking gold nugget. Is that possible?

[@mustachemetalworks]

I would probably have to journey into earth's lower crust to provide the pressure and temperature required for a natural looking nugget. A natural nugget looks the way it does because it was formed in with other rocks.

They have a record when you buy more than $600 worth of metals

[@mustachemetalworks]

"They" have a record every time you visit the restroom. Should we stop doing what we need to do?

[@chinsoo369]

Do you lose some gold when you do that?

[@mustachemetalworks]

I am pretty sure I get all of the gold. There's no cutting or filing in this process to lose material.

[@Silent_Observer]

@@mustachemetalworks obviously you cut it in half so fine particles would have been lost.. weight it again

[@luislopez-ih5tg]

Where do u buy the gold from

[@mustachemetalworks]

I buy from APMEX. I usually buy Valcambi or Perth mint gold.
