- Melting Silver - Making Hand Poured Silver Bars at Home
In this video, I'll be melting some silver bullion (Generic Rounds) into some more of my RFT Channel Bars, using my new Devil Forge Furnace or Foundry!
I am still an amateur when it comes to pouring and stamping as I only get a little practice every other week BUT I love trying my best and it's always a lot of fun.
Hopefully, you all enjoy this pour video and don't give me too hard of a time. :)

Rob when are the rounds safe to touch?
I have really been wanting to make one of these videos for my channel. You in Dallas area?
Can you explain why when you pour the liquid silver into the mold it becomes sold right away while the silver in the crucible stays liquid the whole time you’re pouring?
a trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Luke Lennon definitely, I have been using Flixzone for months myself =)
You might want to try cleaning up the crucible and removing surface slag with carbon rod before poring, also heating the molds to red/yellow hot give the air a change to escape before the silver cools eliminating voids on the bottom of the bar, finally if you tap out the bars onto sheet rock no danger of scratches or dings so no need to polish. Hope that helps and keep up the good work.
is that why my bars always have little holes and cracks in the bottom? i heated up the mold but not till it turns red or yellow
@OfficiallyRetired yes, the mold needs to be glowing red hot.
OK I also need to do a better job heating up my mold then. I have had some that look awesome and others are all sorts of wrong. Is there a chat site/ form for smelting nerds? Post pics and whatnot
I'd take any one of those bars. Even the rejects. Heck, that just gives them character. Nice job.
I guess you'd have to get an injectable mold to really get them precise.
100 years from now, there will be hobbyists collecting only ingots and trinkets made by You-tube scrappers and melters, and the "RFT 2oz ingot #38 DDO" is going to be the holy grail of ingotology. We have witnessed the birth of a legend.
Interesting how quickly they solidify from liquid in the molds. Your technique is getting very smooth - well done! Would love to see the stamping process.
I'd rock one of those bars in the background to go w mr RFT round.
Thanks brother! One of these bars SHOULD be at your house!
Each bar has its flaws and blemishes but that's what makes them unique. And who can't appreciate a DDO or get mad about one? Great video.
I think you need a vacuum forge to get them with mirrored surfaces like the pros use.
I love these metal pours! Especially silver the bars look amazing
yeah that sound of the freshly minted bars hitting the table is very satisfying
Love the pouring vids
so relaxing to watch :)
Same here, they make me salivate
Little touches like the sound effect at 4:25 really bring this video to life
That one looked triple stamped on the top point! The even more elusive trippled die!!!
DARN!!! My jaw kinda dropped pre-melting, when I saw that a few of the generic rounds were Norfed rounds!
Norfeds! They are too rare to melt!
Yep he mest up
Wow! Epic f up.
What are norfed rounds?
@@juniorpineda4151 Look up Bernard VonNaughthaus... *SP
Pour videos are my favourite from you
I like when you do the DDO bars. Gives a great variety for people to find in your bars.
Good video Rob love all your videos
This is new to me, I'm glad that I'm learning about it through your channel Rob, excellent video brother👍
Thank you RFT! That was pretty cool stuff!! 🤘🤘🤘
I love the DDO since you find so many DDO coins roll hunting! Thanks for sharing!
Thats awesome! Love to see the stamping process one day. Great stuff!
Wow awesome silver pours bud
So much fun to watch molten silver!!
Have a GREAT Day!!!
It would be cool to see the stamping process too! Enjoyed the video
Good looking bars brother 👍👍 Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Very cool. Gotta love poured silver ingot.
Love watching your silver pouring. 👍
Oh yeah silver. I love to watch silver being poured
DDO ! , love the video's you make. Keeping it real !
The “DDO if you will” is so cool
CASTING IS SO LOVELY TO SEE AND HOLD AS COMPARED TO MINTED
lol......love that DDO, just like the big dogs............. would like to see a pic of your tumbler as well . Thanks always great videos
👍😎👍
My first time watching you do a pour , it was cool, my fav is the Penny's 😊
Thank you!
You da man!
Thanks Rob for showing such a cool demonstration🤘 It's pretty BadAss!
Always neat to see liquified silver pouring into the mould.
Yes please show the stamping. Getting ready for my first pour. Looking for all the tips.
I love vids like this. I want to have a forge of my own and make gold and silver bars. I adore gold and silver.
Love your channel, I really enjoy watching your poor videos with subtitles, very relaxing and soothing, thank you.
I will own one ..ONE DAY lol .. lovely pours
Thank you for sharing this video I had a great time watching this video
That's cool 😎 love those rounds
Nice job Rob. I myself am getting into pouring soon. It will allow me to be creative and produce art. Keep up the great work.
That ddo looked so dope
Coin roll hunting - "Nice! I found a DDO!"
Stamping - "Darn it, I got a DDO!"
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for demystifying the process of smelting metal
Rob why in the world did you melt a NORFED lol! Great Video tho
What’s NORFED?
Ser Duncan I’m not sure😂
@@_Dunk have you Googled it yet? 🤔
Omg yes, it hurts to see it, I would never melt my norfed coins
Love the DDO.
I love watching silver solidity
Cool! I found a 2019 War In the Pacific Guam W Quarter in change today at the bank
Good for you I have two San Antonio’s and one AMP
@@icyhotryan9339 very cool! The one that I found is my first one ver!
Tyler thank you for subbing to me I’ll return the favor :D
It looks like such a fun hobby and you can do so many metals..im in im buying that set up
I still have bar #006. Love it
Always Awesome Rob! Not that I am on the winning side of things but maybe a Friday EOS GAW on one bar? Anyone would be thrilled to get one of those!!
Nice bars! In would also like to make some silver bars. I have a devilforge, exact the same you have. But I think I will use an electril furnace/kiln for silver. I will also prepare a pouring setup with a burner hitting those moulds while pouring. Give them a small tap while solodifying will give them some nice ripples, just the way I love them! I will also need to invest in a tumbler to get them as smooth and shiny as possible. Hopefully one day when I build a new shed or buy a garage box I will start melting silver. Just subbed 😁👍👍👍
Yeah - I now use the electric for silver and the devil forge for non-precious metals. Thanks for subbing brother!
I'm about to try my first poures!
Great works Rob . Thanks ive Learned
Cool video but I would’ve really liked to see how you polished and especially how you stamped these.
I have other pour videos that show that but I agree that I could put it into more of them.
Good stuff bud
Is it just me or is there something primal about melting and pouring metals
Got to give this a try
Awesome video! I love the DDO bar!
Just found this, super fun video
Rob you are a coin collector and a craftsman! Excellent video!
Is that just plain old ice cold water in the bread pan?
Yep LOL
@@RobFindsTreasure thanks ❤👍🏽
So fun to watch!
I think I want one of them !!
Would love to see the stamping process
Rob is a pour boy from a pour family.
Hi rob ,,great vid .. was wondering Do you use carbon in your molds to keep the silver from sticking,, I have to do it with my lead pours ,,jw ??
Rob I hope you stay safe doing these and when will u do a metal detecting video?
MC-55 error - doubRobling Die Obverse. Those are awesome!
Rob Melts Treasure.......Rob Makes Treasure.....better!
What did you use for stamping dies?
WE FORGOT TO CHECK FOR NORFEDS!!! Love the bars though!!!
So instead of going a little over like you said, wouldn't you have had enough left over to pour one more (@2.0ozt)? Just curious
Super cool
I oh so want one!
It actually cost more to cast those bars. Because you have to use energy to melt them with propane. Then you have to make sure you have the tools to stamp them and polish etc. etc. You are basically doing what a bullion maker already did
Great info.
Sliver cools off really fast huh
They look great! 🤙🏼
Where did you buy your stamp?
What type of material do you use to tumble? Ive used ceramic pellets and they didnt come out real good. Thanks.
Looking good...are they going to be for sale on your website?
I like the DDO
silver melts at 1,763.24 degrees Fahrenheit. I run my tabletop furnace at 1900 degrees or slightly better. Is there any consensus of higher heats being a problem with good pours?
rob you doing need tongs to drop the get the bars out the molds your gloves will protect you as long as they can withstand heat.
Great job and new sub 👍🧡
Thanks for subbing!
@@RobFindsTreasure your welcome
Looking good! For sale?🔥🔥
They are - some more than others of course due to either weight or stamping. I'll release them likely tomorrow but definitely can e-mail me if interested brother: robfindstreasure55@gmail.com
According to the London Mint Office the silver can only be described as “white metal” I know because I have done this myself using full silver coin.
What does your mint say?
DDO is collectible 😎😉
Kool that's really NICE
To save a lil bit of time and less resmelting. I'd grab a minimum of 6 molds. So once your crucible crazy hot, you can do more pours/ ounces per smelt. Etc. Just sayin is all! ✌️
Did you ever try stamping the edges
If I want to melt several silver coins, who do I should for?
very nice job Rob :) could you tell me how long dose your fernace to melt the silver please
Like for the Russian pressure gauge. I just found it interesting.
Why do you say it's Russian?
@@volvojoe ГАЗ which means gas in all caps.
@@volvojoe It's spelled in Russian, but it could be manufactured anywhere where Russian is spoken.
@@phillipbainbridge9107 interesting, thanks for sharing i wouldn't have known otherwise add i can't read Russian
Nice bars.
What is it that u use to stamp them with who makes them I’m looking for one thank u rob
That was good camera work
Very nice sir
If you puta merc dime in the bottoms of the mold before you poured, would it melt it or embed it?
is there a way to make the 90 percent coins more pure when melting
