How Much Gold Do You Think Is In This Container?

Can't really tell from the picture, but I'm guessing those are gold flakes?

If those are flakes suspended in water, you will have very little weight because those bottles are usually just inexpensive souvenir items.

I've seen those during our Mt. Rushmore stop. I'd say it's worth much, much less in melt than the price they were selling for, but it's still a cool souvenir. It's gold. I wonder about the 24k part though.

You can actually still stumble across placer gold like that around there. I have 2 tiny, tiny flakes from hiking around Deadwood and Rapid City, so I have true Black Hills gold (Black Hills gold jewelry doesn't have to have Black Hills mined gold in it, it just has to be made in the area).

Obvious questions:

How much does it weigh?
What are the dimensions of the bottle?
How full of gold do you think it is?

A more accurate guesstimate of the gold content is then possible.

Density of natural gold perhaps 17 g/cc, here in flake form, perhaps 11g/cc, allowing for spaces between the gold flakes.
Water 1 g/cc
Glass 1.5 g/cc

I stay away from the nuggets, flakes, an grains on ebay, as I have ocd and like 24k only pure solid, that's the way to roll in my green opinion. I will say I have liked some of those nuggets you see from Australia, but only makes sense to buy if you live in that country, as shipping cost makes the purchase just to high. Plus, why not buy bars or coins that come from established mint or company with a trusted name....

I personally would rather pay a bit more for nice minting coin or high quality trusted name bar, than the above pictured (neat souv indeed) mentioned. Besides, it is money invested, just a few years back I would have blown on something else I would have nothing to show for it later, like going out to eat an movies, etc.. Still go out, just in moderation....

Last month, I took my boys to Sovereign Hill, at Ballarat. I wanted them to get an idea of how their ancestors lived - the family were still mining until my Dad was 10 y.o.
Anyway, little bottles with flakes, grains, and even tiny nuggets were $5 ~ $9, so I'm guessing that there was a margin for preparing them and getting them to the shop. They looked a lot like yours.

Empty bottles were $1. And we were free to pan in "the creek". The first time, after 45 minutes, I had a dozen grains - not much weight, but it was a learning exercise.
At our second attempt, my younger boy volunteered on the shovel, and we did several pans-full over an hour or so, gaining another dozen grains plus one very small nugget - but it's big enough to pick up between my fingers. Since then, the boy tells everyone that he "found the gold" ... apparently, I just separated it from the dross.

He's asked, and I'm considering, going gold panning again. Perhaps it's in the veins ...
