    If the amount of gold is small in relation to the silver then the
    silver will not suffer at all from having a bit of gold in it, in
    fact gold improves the properties of silver. Keep it because a) it is
    bad luck to throw away any gold; and b) one day you will melt your
    first ingot or get the whole lot refined. 

Cheers, Alastair
