It's SMELTING that you want to do, not melting. Spend $250-$350, go online and get a 1oz-3oz smelting machine. If you're planning on melting down your gold, you might as well smelt it to make it pure.
Imagine pouring in your fine gold into a small crucible, smelting it down and then pouring it out into 1oz gold cube molds. Can't think of many things finer than that.
I'm all for doing it yourself and torchin' it, however me personally I would just blow that placer/fine gold all over the place, overheat it, lose some, pour some on my hand...etc etc lol. Get a smelting pot!!!
Got a Hupperts smelting furnace for sale. 450.
