>     1. Panning (is that even going to be enough?? are we fantasizing?) 

    Hope you live near a gold bearing deposit 

>     2. Buying vintage or antique store gold items and melting it down 

    problematic, potentially frustrating 

>     3. Fork up the cash and buy gold 

    Do this if you can, final product will come out better than remelted
    old gold 

    You will probably find gold much easier to work with as it can be
    more forgiving of miscalculations.
