The person who poured this silver piece, which I am showing you today, has rapidly risen to the top of the silver stacking and pouring community.
His pouring skills have improved to such an amazing degree that the silver coming out of his pouring bench is now extremely exceptional, making his creations highly sought-after!
During the American gold rush in California in 1849 and other gold and silver rushes that followed across North America, prospectors were familiar figures. If only they could locate some ore, or if only he could get to the next gold or silver discovery before everyone else, prospectors would pack up their lives and chase the dream of incredible wealth.
A strong, dependable pack mule was essential to any prospector's way of life. As the prospector traveled from one spot to another in quest of gold and silver, everything from daily rations to tents and mining tools was put on these mules.
Here, the prospector is dumping water from his gold pan. A pickaxe by his feet, a shovel on his mule, a nearby buffalo skull, and the distant pine trees and the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the background are all visible.
This silver hand pour is 9.6 troy oz. of .999 fine silver. Chris probably poured ten troy ounces onto the mold and lost some silver in the process.
I love these very special .999 fine silver hand-poured pieces. My collection of FIRST POURS from community pourers, which I happen to have only because of my sincere desire to support their crafts by being the first one to purchase their products.
