How can someone melt down gold? What all would one need
to melt down a small amount of it?
I know it's a crazy question...LOL

You need a very hot torch and a ceramic crucible--you also need some knowledge of casting to be able to do anything with it. Please don't try this at home--bad things can happen when you play with molten metal.

Yes!
For some top forecasts on gold’s direction, visit the site below:
I like the real GOLD nuggets.
As most gold is mined as very fine dust and tiny nuggets, the larger (over 1oz) nuggets are very rare! Actually they are as rare as large diamonds!
I would suggest you look into large nuggets!
To see the 'live' spot NY gold price and some museum size gold nuggets I suggest you visit a great site I found a few months ago. I purchase a few nuggets from them just about a month ago, and not only are they beautiful to look at but in just the last few weeks they have really moved up in value!
I'm actually saving to purchase others!

It takes a lot of heat to melt gold. I used to watch my friend's father do it, his hobby was making gold rings etc. He would use a torch.

A good jeweler in your area can tell you how difficult it is.
