    This is likely better suited for the Gold Refining Forum: GOLD REFINING FORUM - GOLD REFINERS HELPING ONE ANOTHER
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Because you don't refine, you don't personally know a good refiner, and it's "not a lot" I honestly think you are far better off selling the items to a buyer and then just using the money to buy gold. Refining gold is like just like scrap, it takes volume.

    If what you have will produce 200.00 in gold but you have to give the home refiner (you don't have enough for a large refiner) 50% you are already down to 100.00. You then have to take into consideration how good the refiner is. They could easily lose (not recover) 10-20% now you are going to be down to about 80.00 or less.

    Sell the stuff to a reputable buyer in the "buyers section" take your money and buy some gold locally.
