You could do gold "leafing" at home but most likely not gold elecroplating. Unless you plan to do a lot of plating, the equipment and chemicals required to electroplate would be cost prohibitive. Leafing on the other hand is easily mastered and done using common adhesives and gold leaf which are both available at any craft store.

yes, you can have a jeweler do it\n\nbut i would not recomend it\nreal gold is very soft\n\nthat is why it is hardened with nickel.\n\ntalk to a jeweler and explain what you want.\nyou did not specify if the gold you wanted to cover was pure or an alloy.

your best option is to liquidate your physical holdings and place your proceeds into GLD,  an exchange traded gold trust, that holds the actual metal.  There is a management fee associated with the trust, currently 0.40% per years. But when you wish to convert gold to dollars, you just sell come of the shares.  A $10 fee is associated with both buying and selling the shares through an on line broker.

Since gold coins are almost always priced at a premium to the price of gold bullion, they can easily be sold to coin dealers/collectors.  Look on the phone Yellow Pages for Coin Dealers and speak to them.

Actualluy there are several methods possible.\n1) there is the old gold pan technique where you slowly swirll water in a flat pan and let the centrifugal forces take out the lighter materials. 2) If the gold particles are very fine there is the electrolysis method where you submerge metal rods with a current in a slurry of the gold content sand and the gold particles will attach themselves to the rod. 3) In ancient days they used a sheeps skin subermeged in running water and let the sand pass over , the gold particles remain in the sheep skin (maybe you hear the famous antique greek story of the golden Fleece..thats where this came from) you can use the mercury reduction method which is quite dangerous and not very environmentally sound.

You would not want to plate white gold with platinum, you should do this with regular gold for the simple fact that yellow gold is cheaper than white gold so you would be cutting your overheads.

Good luck, considering that this week, gold is selling for almost $700 an ounce.  You'll probably be able to get 1/2 of a flake for $5.00

You are in a very good part of the country for prospecting. There are many known gold-bearing areas in the region. Visit www.goldprospectors.org. They will have all the info you need. The GPAA is the nation's largest prospecting organization. Membership is very reasonable and will give you free access to claims from coast to coast and the members are more than willing to help out the "newbies".

I know 3 ways and they are all difficult and dangerous. The chemicals required are hazardous  and can be lethal. If you happen to find the information on how to do it, I strongly urge you to not. The small amount of gold you will retrieve could come at a VERY high price !!! If you want to prospect for gold (safe and fun) go to www.goldprospectors.org, any information you want about prospecting can be found there.

One easy quick & easy way to find out is the streak test. Rub the mineral in question across an unglazed porcelain tile. If the streak it makes is black then it is pyrite (fool's gold). If it is golden yellow then you have gold. You can find these tiles in your local home & garden shop or hardware store.\n\nAnother simple one is the hardness test. Gold has a hardness of 2.5 to 3 on Moh's Scale. Pyrite is 6 to 6.5. Glass has a hardness of about 5.5. According to Moh's scale you should be able to scratch glass w/ pyrite but not w/ gold. Pennies can also be used as their hardness is about 3.5.\n\nGold is found in several different forms or habits. It can be dendritic (vein-like) or massive as in nuggets. Upon examining pyrite more closely (perhaps w/ a 10x magnifier) you will see that while it resembles a gold nugget it is actually made up of many tiny little cubes.\n\nGold will not cleave whereas pyrite will. Cleavage is simply how a mineral breaks evenly due to weaknesses in its crystal structure. Pyrite has cubic cleavage so that when it is hammered it will come apart in perfect little cubes.

You need a solution of gold sulfate or gold chloride to do it, but it has to be extremely pure, made with distilled/deionized water.  Remember to have your ring on the anion (the negative) and your gold source on the cation.
