Melt Gold quick and easy

Place the gold piece into the charcoal container and put on your safety mask or goggles.

Light a propane torch and begin moving the flame over the gold. Hold the flame over the gold until the gold is red-hot.

Prepare to melt the gold. Sprinkle a little borax onto your gold piece. Increase the amount of heat on the torch until the gold starts to melt. It should look bright orange with a green tint as it nears its melting point. All the fine particles of gold will melt together into a bright ball.
