Can I melt gold flakes/nuggets? then mold them?

I am investing in gold(small quantities) and may acquire a lot of gold "nuggets" or vials of gold "flakes". I believe it maybe bullion gold. or whatever type of gold that is found in california/canadian and alaskan mines. Can I melt them and mold them into one bar? should I just buy bars elsewhere?

Take this the right way, but you don't know what you are doing. You would be better buying gold and silver jewelry that no one wants and melting them down. BUT you have to know the difference between gold , gold filled, gold plated. Even if a bracelet for example says 14k gold on the clasp. The clasp could be solid 14 k gold, but the bracelet could be gold flashed or plated.

You can smelt gold down if you want, but do you know what the different carrots are of the flakes? Are the flakes real? Fools gold sure looks real, but it isn't gold. Good luck.
