I cast the one oz nugget shown below from some of my fines. It's my first time casting anything. I think it turned out ok but I'm going to try and cast some GNARLY Nuggets.

I'm going to try casting arrowheads, doubloons and other cool things.

First I like your work your producing. I think its pretty cool. Now you got me to thinking of how to cast my special forces coin, and other coins a got in the service into gold mementos. That would be a special piece for me. Gonna have to give it serious thought and find a bunch more gold, only got a little over 3 grams saved right now.

It's not that hard once you have a few required tools. Look up sand casting kits.

If you don't have enough gold cast them in silver. If you want them gold It's real easy to gold plate over silver.

I have done sand casting you have to cook it in an oven before doing the casting , it's pretty easy I'm shure you could find a you tube video . I think your on the right track if your making these for yourself . I would love to get enough gold to cast a pendent out for myself . I would never think of selling it , just personal for me . Do what you want with it , if you avertise it as cast natural gold then you won't be missrepresenting it . JMHO . Who knows you may get more for it .
