If you want to melt down a reasonable amount of silver or gold then you are going to need a crucible and crucible holder. But first you need to prepare the crucible before you even attempt to melt anything in it. If you don't do this then you run the risk of ruining your precious metal.

Get some borax and your torch and follow Andrew's instruction and you will learn how to prepare your crucible for melting down.
