How to make a gold bar (and silver bar too!)

Wonder how to make a gold bar? In this video I cast gold and silver bars. Melting gold is done in the KK8 kiln (Kwik Kiln 8"). I use a combination of placer gold, hard rock gold, and old sterling silver to make a very large silver bar and a bunch of smaller gold bars. I do smelt some of the hard rock gold to purify the gold some as the hard rock gold still had some impurities in it. After I cast the gold bars, I then calculate the value of the gold. The one ounce gold bar is worth about $1780 Canadian. It was a whole lot of fun making gold bars and they look great as well.
