    Gold? Silver?
    VERY COOL 😎

    I really like those man! VERY cool indeed. He uses wood for the molds and I find that interesting all by itself. At least it looks like wood.
    VERY nice and thanks for sharing 👍

    I had to pull up an old post of mine to get pics.. but I will post a fresh image later after picking up my Newp!
    And technically, you could say these are (were) US coins as they are all poured from junk90 👏

    They are poured into wetted sections of bamboo. This is Apparently an ancient way of pouring ingots/coins in Asia.
    Possibly the way Tigers Tongues are made?

    Wood molds? At least get some metal sinker/bullet molds............they are relatively inexpensive

    EDIT: very "cool" hobby!

    That’s pretty cool. I at one time in the past, as a hobby extracted gold from old computer chips and refined it. The hardest part is getting rid of the waste products.

    Well that's one way to sell junk silver for a premium.
    Did he flip the I and O on that bar? "CION"? :D

    Those are really neat! Poured metal can produce some pretty unique pieces.

    Nice work.... I have often thought about trying my had at that... melting, refining, pouring. Got interested in it while in High School shop class where with did it with tin/lead for some home projects. Never have done it outside of those early experiences. Cheers, RickO

    Thanks for your concern!
    But you don't have to worry about me, sometimes I do things just because they are fun and I don't give any thought to the secondary market at all!

    There is always the opportunity to re-melt and re-pour if mistakes are made.
    I like them all.
