Dumpster Diving Copper For My First Copper Smelting At Home

Went and bought myself an electric furnace last last week and it arrived late Saturday night! Did a little melt yesterday and it worked pretty good (other than the lid kind of breaking).

Gotta say - there is something magical about melting copper at home and seeing the glowing liquid pour out of the crucible and into the mold.

I'm stoked to get some custom coin molds and do those next!

I was originally inspired to do this by @bigstackD and am amazed at the treasure hoard he has amassed!
