I just wonder....... back in the old days when Assayer's would do this if they would possibly miss tiny specks of gold /silver / etc. in the slag if they would have rushed the assay And I wonder if prospectors today would pass up the possibility of re-smelting this slag in hopes of finding something ? Maybe the old or broken crucible might have something left in it One could only dream !!
