That’s not insurmountable to learn, even something like watching Cody’s Labs videos on gold reclamation would be a good starting point.
Overall it would still be tricky to fully pull off without raising suspicion unless the amounts were kept consistently low, at least if you kept it to a 1 person operation.
If you started a gold mining company, hired people to run it legitimately, you could fudge the books on how much was actually mined, sifted, and processed, that probably wouldn’t get a close inspection.
You can easily buy gold in most countries. I don’t think you’d even need to try as hard as the other person suggested.
If you really wanted to be cautious, you really just need to remove anything identifiable and slowly sell them at different “we buy gold” places. You could even get fancy and buy a coin press. If anyone asks (they probably won’t, these places aren’t exactly scrupulous), your grandpa collected gold before he passed and left his collection to you.
Or if you want to be a bit less cautious, just claim you found them in your yard.
Except that you’d also have to prove that you know how to refine it to explain why you’re selling pure gold.
