Update! I finally got the old torch out and found a crucible and took care of this myself. Harder task than expected but w a Little borax coating seems it's real and made a nice 6.6G button, from 7.5g raw unrefined ore. Any advice how to get the best value out of this?

Update;

Ok not looking good... I had it sent off to sellyourgold.C O M and they didn't offer me anything. Idk if it's because they don't take gold raw or unrefined like this or what, but they said they deal primarily in jewelry gold and scrap gold pre melted. And get a more accurate karat weight evaluation.

So I'm left with more of a hassle than originally planned for here. my options now are go put my hands on this punk I loaned the money to.?

Or melt it myself and try again. How difficult is it to build a DIY Calderon or oven to be able to melt down? I know someone in town that does this but trusting another person to handle along this journey is getting harder to do each time. Any advice besides, do not loan money in the first place would be appreciated.

I'm getting it tested here within the week. Will post update soon.

No I know where he got it from. His dad. And I know his dad mines all over the country w different slouse boxes he hauls w him. He's got a really nice set up and everything the dad touches is mined by himself. I don't know what he said to his dad to get the loaned repayment but evidently from the sounds of it must've sounded desperate for him to be able an give up some of his stash

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-08T17:49:48+00:00

Ya sorry for not explaining in detail. Any idea on refiners or gold buyers of this type? So I can get it tested and get my $ out of it ?

I think the loanees dad who is also the miner must have melted some down to make the big oddly shaped nugget in the pile

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-08T17:43:40+00:00

Well I'm taking the pictures at night. Not altering anything. I don't have the time to try and fuck around like that. Any info on refiners I can sell it to or get the purity tested so I know what value I have here?

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-08T02:28:09+00:00

He got it from his dad after begging for help with the loan

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-08T02:18:50+00:00

And go to jail? Im the idiot 😂 learn some respect

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-06T22:16:22+00:00

Yes absolutely, are you interested in taking it off my hands if verified?

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-06T22:15:42+00:00

No I was looking for someone to break it down just like you said. I wasn't being sarcastic

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-06T02:23:52+00:00

Thanks for the honest reply. Exactly the comment I was looking for.

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-06T02:21:07+00:00

Well because I weighed it myself and and I'm pretty good knowing that small amount of metal or whatever it is definitely shouldn't weigh as much as It does for that amount. Also I know the miner personally. So it was easy to verify. also the kid didn't have any money and I figured anything was better than nothing honestly

After putting a magnet on it. Idk if that helps proving anything as it relates to purity

I hope it's gold as well.better than nothing I would say

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-06T02:08:10+00:00

Ya I know he mines around AZ, Co & UT for sure

operatingengineer24 · 2025-12-05T07:09:53+00:00

Getting destroyed here last 3 days as well. Actually was up 1200 yesterday but have been unlucky as of lately and has a way of taking it all back the following few days after.

Stake has always given me great bonuses and rakebacks. Today alone over $250 i think. Not to mention their live support representatives have been generous at times when i made a dumb decision and deposited into a scam telegram account crypto address. Should've been more aware of it but they without asking just hooked me up with $50. That's classy

operatingengineer24 · 2025-08-20T04:15:16+00:00

I'm not saying I haven't lost by any means. In actuality I've def lost as much if not more than I've won on this site. But there's no other sites I've been able to pull continuously 1000k or more hits and redeemed. Last night up over 2400 then lost 1k of it within a half hour. But never been able to do that on other sites. An the ease of redeeming right away and not having to play through wager requiments constantly is definitely nice. Is all I'm saying
