My Favorite Form of Silver: Shot

Silver comes in many forms, but my favorite is pure silver globs, known as silver "shot". It's not complicated, it's when silver is melted down to a molten liquid, then slowly poured into water, solidifying and forming little beads.

I have a one ounce bag of silver shot, representing 1.0 ozt the silver content of an one ounce round.

Pouring the beads into my hand, seeing them sparkle in the bright summer sunshine, and feeling the solid ounce weight, is very satisfying.

Now getting them all back into the bag is another challenge all together!

My largest collection of silver shot or "grain" is my unopened bottle 10 oz.

Looking carefully, you can see some silver "dust" on the bottom. Tiny little granuals of pure silver.

There are many stories of old time gold prospectors buying whisky with their "gold dust", if silver hits the moon, we might be trading someday with "silver dust".

I've always maintained, having small size silver is good. It would be difficult slicing up a one oz round into small pieces and it would take a lot of energy to melt them all down to make your own silver shot. Best to have it ready to go, grain by grain.

Equal weights and measures!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Bank Bailout Special!

It's happening, folks. The banks are going under! To educate our children about what is going on, there is a "Bank Bailout Book Bonanza" going on with the Tuttle Twins! Use coupon code FORTY for 40% off your purchase! Check out the books here.

Silver shot is really cool! It's usually affordable and in a scrape you could always load in a 12 gauge shell to take out those pesky werewolves. Only problem with it it storage, it takes up a lot of space. Do you leave yours in the original container?

IN the movies they make silver bullets... what a wasted effort! You're right, just load the shell with these and you're all set!

it takes up a lot of space.

It might actually take up less space, I'm imagining (dreaming) of a 5 gallon bucked full of silver shot vs silver rounds.... which would be heavier? I don't know, but five gallon buckets full of silver is a nice thought either way. :-)

Do you leave yours in the original container?

Usually, I don't plan on opening the 10 oz, unless there's a good reason... it's like a porcelain bank that I have to break in case of emergency.

Now the five gallon bucket full of silver shot would be very cool! Great addition to the stack! On the movies I guess those Hollywood writers just aren't all that clever...

I myself am very fond of collecting silver as we have seen it give huge returns to people within the last couple of years and will continue to do so within the next few years.

Many are speculating that silver will become much more valuable than expected. It's difficult to believe, but given the industrial demand of silver VS the centuries of hoarding gold, if all the bank vaults were opened at once, silver may be worth more!

Many people who pour their own rounds seem to really love silver shot for that. I've never gotten any, but could see picking some up sometime.

I really wish to witness where they are melting silver or gold
It will make a lot of sense
