Discounting the much easier route of Kash-4-GOLD places that'll buy anything, you can build a pretty basic backyard smelting setup for nothing and turn it into ingots. Ingots are much more saleable, and you could sell them to most places that deal in bars and ingots.

It's gold dust, you can melt it down with household items and make fake nuggets with a tray full of wet sand. Say you just came back from a weekend in the hills and found a few nuggets in a creek in an area that had a gold rush in the past. Legitimate finds happen all the time.

Subjunctive posted:Don't ingots/bars need a verifying mark of some kind? Otherwise the core could be lead, or otherwise adulterated. You can’t use lead. It’s not nearly dense enough. Tungsten is the only element that’s both sufficiently dense and not itself more precious than gold. You can test for tungsten cores non‐destructively with ultrasound, but just ripping it apart and melt it again isn’t really a problem since it doesn’t have numismatic value. You’ll have exactly the same quantity of gold once you cast it again. It’s not like it evaporates or corrodes. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 07:20 on Dec 1, 2016 |

What they dude needs to do is go about his regular day, hide that gold and try not to sell it or talk to anybody about it for like 10-15 years. God, I want a million dollars worth of gold.

Subjunctive posted:Don't ingots/bars need a verifying mark of some kind? Otherwise the core could be lead, or otherwise adulterated. Normally yes, but you could take it to a place and ask them to test it for purity, and then have them resmelt it into verified bricks/ingots. Kinda the route you'd have to go with this anyway, since any dust is going to be highly suspect for a while. At least with some rough ingots you can tell them you have a little claim somewhere and mined/panned it yourself. And then sell off your ingots slowly over time.
