I've gotten a bit of cons, and am certain i am around a gram or better of gold.......is there any easy at home method i can use to combine all the smaller pieces/flakes into 1 piece?

Why melt it? it's usually more valuable in it's raw state.

Id prefer 1 larger piece. Not 100% worried on value as im sure its not that much anyway.....mostly flakes that were seeded and some small granules.....hard to describe size but non worth while.

Get a scrap of Gypsum board.

Drill a hole 1/2 way into it.

Put your goodies in the hole.

Put a sprinkle of Borax on that.

Heat it with propane torch.

Works for me.  Map gas is better but it can be done with Propane.
