    Aimee- You may try to let it cool completely before you try to roll.
    My best advice is to scrap the metal out and start with fresh. The
    "mystery" gold is probably what contaminated your 14k. I've done tons
    of 14k rolling in the past and never had a problem as long as I knew
    that there was no solder or contaminates in it. When ever I have a
    customer who wants to use "their gold", I always advise them that I
    cannot guarantee the results unless it's refined first. 

Good luck.
Jo
