How Do I Get The Gold Out Of Borax "Glass"?

I have been experimenting with gold recovery and can successfully strip the gold of of items. When I combine the mud with borax in the melting dish, the gold never seems to come together in a "shot", it just floats through the molten borax in tiny particles. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Answer:
It has a density of 19 g/cm^3 and it doesn't sink? Good trick! You could put some molten lead in ther to dissolve it then burn off the recovered alloy to retrieve the gold - as in the cupel.
